High performance deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i – Features highly accurate
•
deinterlacing for 480i/576i/1080i signals. This ensures absolute detail and fidelity in the
reconstructed progressive video frames, including 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown for interlaced
signals originating from film content.
• Mic/line input with 48 volt phantom power – A mic or line level audio source can
be mixed with program audio. Selectable 48 volt phantom power allows the use of
condenser microphones.
• Front panel LED indicators for HDMI and USB signal status – Provides visual
feedback for HDMI input and loop-through signal presence, HDCP status, plus USB
signal presence for the host computer, video send, audio send, and audio return.
Logo image display – The MediaPort 200 can be set to automatically display a user-
•
supplied image file whenever no signal is present at the HDMI input.
• Aspect ratio control – The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by
selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output or a FOLLOW mode, which
preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
• Auto Input Memory – When activated, the unit automatically stores size, position, and
picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again,
these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
Internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup –
•
The MediaPort 200 offers several video test patterns to facilitate proper system setup
and calibration, and can provide an active output when an input video source is not
available. The pink noise generator is selectable for all audio outputs, including USB
audio to the computer, and aids in optimizing audio output signals.
• Picture controls for brightness, contrast, horizontal and vertical positioning,
and sizing.
• User-selectable HDCP authorization – Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant
or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source
automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device.
Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.
HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is
•
sent to a non-compliant destination – A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-
encrypted content is routed to the USB output, or to a non-HDCP compliant display on
the HDMI loop output, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content
cannot be viewed.
EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between
•
®
connected devices – EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and
reliably outputs content for display.
Auto-Image™ setup – When activated, the unit automatically optimizes the image
•
by analyzing and adjusting to the video input signal. This can save time and effort in
settings up a newly connected source, particularly in presentation environments where
different guest presenter laptops with various output resolutions will be connected.
• User image presets – 16 memory presets are available to store and recall optimized
image settings.
• Parametric EQ, filters, and compression on all inputs – Equalization and filters
are available to fine-tune acoustic characteristics of microphones and program
sources. Compression helps to compensate for source signals with widely varying or
unpredictable signal levels.
