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 and up
to three video windows. The audience can view that same image or a full-screen
image of any external video or RGB source.
MediaMarker™ Annotation
Only the UPX-2 lets presenters draw, write or type in real-time over any computer or
video source, display the complete presentation to the audience, and then save, edit,
and share screenshots in a variety of formats. Crestron's exclusive MediaMarker
application puts truly professional video annotation and electronic whiteboard
capability directly onboard.
Without requiring a separate computer or special software, MediaMarker empowers
presenters to easily annotate over any of the UPX-2's embedded PC applications,
including streaming video, or draw freely on the whiteboard with a choice of
background templates or imported graphics. MediaMarker also enables telestration
over external video, HDTV, and high-res RGB sources displayed frozen or full-
motion. No other annotation solution so easily and elegantly supports such a
complete range of media formats.
For ultimate clarity and impact, the MediaMarker Toolbar provides an extensive
assortment of drawing tools to enable on-the-fly selection of line weights, colors,
