ImagePRO is a high performance video scaler, scan converter, switcher and transcoder
in one. The ImagePRO is the ideal solution for converting RGB, HDTV, Component,
S-video, composite (NTSC, PAL and SECAM), DVI, SDI and 3G HD/SDI into a user
selectable video format. ImagePRO supports a wide variety of analog and digital
output formats including broadcast and VESA standards along with many native plasma
formats. ImagePRO users may also create custom output formats to support unique
display requirements.
The ImagePRO-3G includes universal inputs, aspect ratio conversion, memory presets,
test patterns, vertical lock (Genlock), picture adjustments, motion adaptive de-
interlacing, and 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection to name a few.
