UPX & DIGITAL VIDEO PROCESSORS
Crestron's revolutionary UPX-2 Universal Presentation
Processor provides a complete, streamlined AV and
digital media presentation solution. In one compact rack
mount processor, the UPX-2 fuses touchpanel control with
professional annotation, multi-window video processing,
and an embedded multimedia PC. The result is a total
presentation solution supporting multiple video and
digital media formats, complete with real-time annotation
that requires no additional computers, software, or
hardware dongles.
The UPX-2 puts complete display control in the hands
of the presenter, providing independently controllable
outputs to the presenter's touchpanel and audience display.
Multiple scalable video windows and PC applications can be
displayed simultaneously for preview at the podium while the
audience sees only what the presenter chooses. In addition
to great video and computer, the UPX-2 features incredible
touchpanel graphics with 24-bit color depth and 8-bit alpha
channel supporting 16.7 million colors, full-motion animations,
dynamic text and graphics, transparency, and dramatic
transition effects, all with astonishing speed.
DualTouch™ Technology—In combination with a Crestron
DualTouch Technology touchpanel (sold separately), the
UPX-2 provides full touchpanel control of the AV system
and environment, plus native Wacom
capability using a wireless pen. DualTouch Technology
means the switching between touchpanel and annotation
occurs transparently allowing presenters to focus on the
presentation instead of the technology.
Embedded PC—With built-in Windows Media
RealPlayer

Excel, PowerPoint
®
, and Adobe
UPX-2-1GB serves as a powerful multimedia presentation
source without necessitating a separate computer. The

and PowerPoint applications, letting presenters freely create
and edit presentations and documents right onboard. Both
models also include NetMeeting

erases the lines between control system and PC, allowing
programmers to customize each application's behavior to
create a truly powerful and user-friendly interface. Running
the Windows® XP Embedded operating system, the UPX-2
delivers a reliable and secure platform for touchpanel control
with integrated PC functionality that's invulnerable to viruses

Multi-Window Digital Video Processor—In addition to
its built-in PC applications, the UPX-2 supports the display
of external video and computer sources in up to three
simultaneous scalable windows. The built-in seamless video
switcher accepts multiple inputs from NTSC/PAL composite,
S-Video, component and HDTV sources. Two RGB inputs
are also provided to accommodate non-interlaced sources
with up to 1600 x 1200 resolution.
Four discrete video scalers are used to process the
individual video windows and full-screen outputs. Motion-
adaptive deinterlacing brings out the highest detail by
minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts. Advanced
gamma correction and built-in time base correction ensure
accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.
Individual RGB outputs are provided for the presenter's
touchpanel and audience display, allowing the presenter full
control over what the audience sees. The presenter output
displays the control GUI, including pop-up PC applications
