  • Page 12: Introduction

    1 Introduction General Description The Image AnyPlace IA-200 is a high performance video signal processor intended for use in Pro AV applications. In addition to top ranked scaler features, the IA-200 adds Keystone Correction capability (i. e. the ability to correct for the distortion caused by projecting off-axis onto a flat screen).
  • Page 13 Image AnyPlace User’s Manual 0020D1.01 Figure 1: IA-200 Video Processor In addition to its professional grade Scaler features and its unique Keystone Correction and Geometry Correction and Edge Blending, the IA-200 adds HQV technology video processing features to all video signals. Initially conceived in the military research labs of Lockheed Martin and then refined and commercialized by Teranex and Silicon Optix, HQV video processing has been the technology of choice of film and video professionals in broadcast and studio environments for years.

  • Page 47: Latency Considerations

    Image AnyPlace User’s Manual 0020D1.01 8 Latency Considerations All IA-200 variations necessarily introduce some latency between the input and output. The amount of latency varies greatly, depending on which features are selected. There are two factors influencing the latency: 1) Choice of Latency mode and 2) Relative Frame rate between input and output.
  • Page 48 User’s Manual 0020D1.01 Image AnyPlace IA-200 There are two latency modes, Low Latency and Extra Low Latency. Low Latency mode achieves its effect by bypassing the HQV advanced video functions. This means that Noise Reduction, Advanced De-interlacing and Cadence detection will not work in Low Latency mode. In practice, for most ProAV applications Low Latency is more important than video noise reduction, so Low Latency is the Default mode.
