Product Overview
The Avocent Emerge VSM2000 multi-function video scaler provides high scaling to analog or DVI computer or HDTV signals. NTSC and PAL video standards are supported. Video inputs are 2x composite, 2x s-video and 1x YUV component or YPbPr. RGB/YPbPr scaling permits the computer input signals to be scaled with the same flexibility as the video inputs. The output is selectable as any computer resolution up to 2048 x 2048 at any vertical refresh rate and all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. A wide variety of computer signal formats are available to support PC, Mac and workstation formats.
All the functions can be controlled via front panel push buttons, an infrared controller or via an RS-232 or IP connection. A Windows control panel is provided for GUI-based control. Most third party control systems interface directly with the VSM2000 video scaler via serial or RS-232 interfaces. A front panel LCD makes setup easy.
Variable zoom to 10X allows you to enlarge any part of the video image to fill the entire computer screen and panning controls allow you to move around to any area desired. Variable shrink to as little as 10% allows fitting the image onto most displays. The advanced digital flicker elimination circuitry and high sampling rate insures crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth chroma sampling insures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors.
Stereo audio switching is provided by an integral 4 x 1 audio routing switcher. The four impedance-independent unbalanced inputs follow the video input selection. A rear panel terminal block provides access.
