    (graphics and video), such as LED, LCD, DLP and Plasma monitors (and projectors). Using a very high quality scaling engine, the HDP2 will automatically size 4:3 or 16:9 inputs to many DVI-D monitors. For appropriate monitor configurations, scaling is automatically 1 to 1—for example, displaying 1920x1080 video on a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor.

    Optimal Performance with HP LP2480zx DreamColor When using the HDP2 with an HP LP2480zx, the best results are obtained by using the default HDP2 “Auto” selections (no action required—unless you’ve changed the factory defaults using the Mini Config software supplied).
  • Page 8: Video Scaling

    Video Scaling As shown in the graphic below, the HDP2 will scale the input video to the best fit for a given monitor and video input. In cases where the input video and the monitor are already the same or similar, the HDP2 automatically turns off scaling. For example, a 1920 x1080 video and a 1920 x1200 monitor will not be scaled.
  • Page 9: Frame Rates

    Frame Rates When the HDP2 is manually configured for a particular output frame rate, the output will run in lock-step with the video input. For best results, (without any added or dropped frames), select an output frame rate that matches the incoming video frame rate.

    Chapter 2: Operation USB Control and Setup—Using AJA MiniConfig The HDP2 can usually be used right out of the box for most applications since it is designed to recognize inputs and perform standard actions automatically by default. However you can also manually configure the unit using a supplied software application for PCs and Macs called “MiniConfig.

    The selections on this screen configure the output video. In all cases, selecting “Auto” allows the HDP2 to conform the output to best serve the attached monitor. This is handled automatically when the HDP2 reads the capabilities indicated by the attached monitor.

    Choose Auto to let the HDP2 choose based on the attached output device’s capabilities, 1:1 for no scaling, or Scale, to let the HDP2 scale for the attached monitor. Displaying 1:1 only works properly when it is possible to display the entire unscaled raster. For example, it is not possible to display a 1920 x 1080 input on a 1600 x 1200 monitor.

    Update Tab Screen Use this Update screen to view the software version currently installed on the HDP2 or install new software. NOTE: When discussing Mini-Converters, “Firmware” is software that will be stored in the Mini- Converter’s non-volatile memory and used when it is powered up.
