Technical Description - FOLSOM ScreenPro PLUS 1600 SERIES Installation And Operator's Manual

Technical Description

ScreenPro PLUS is an integrated package that simplifies system interconnections, setup, and control while
supporting advanced features for presentations with up to six screens. The multi-screen presentation system includes
an intuitive user interface and a modular internal design.
The operator can select from up to sixteen universal inputs that accept composite video, s-video, component video,
and computer video sources (640x480 VGA to 1600x1200 UXGA). Sources are scaled to match the native resolution
or "sweet spot" of the projection devices to ensure optimal image quality. Seventeen different transition effects
including dissolves, wipes, cuts, and fade are supported. The duration of each transition effect is programmable.
Each screen output supports two buffered program outputs (one five-wire BNC and one HD-15) and a preview output
(HD-15). Two to ten Auxiliary outputs are provided on the rear panel of the unit for feeds that do not require transition
effects or scaling.
While other systems require multiple control units for a six-screen show, all ScreenPro PLUS functions (including
system setup) are supported via a single user interface. The ScreenPro PLUS user interface simplifies system setup,
adjustment, and control. To perform a transition, the operator simply selects a preview source(s) and presses a key to
simultaneously transition one, two, or six screens using any of the seventeen transition effects. Sixty-four preset
memories allow complex control sequences to be "learned" for quick recall. Presets can include information about
sources, effects, transition rates, and auxiliaries. Since all presets are recalled to the preview monitors, the operator
can view, edit, and recall presets without affecting the program outputs.
ScreenPro PLUS has been designed to work seamlessly with Folsom's ScreenPro product offerings. This allows
customers to utilize Folsom's ScreenPro products for single-screen applications and to utilize the same units in multi-
screen applications when combined with ScreenPro PLUS. For example, ScreenPro PLUS Model 1602 with two-
screen output can be utilized with a standard ScreenPro unit to support a three-screen show. The ability to mix and
match units to support different types of shows provides both premium performance and maximum flexibility.
