Key Digital Systems, Inc. Introduces The Digital Blaster Video Processor

24-Aug-04

Key Digital Systems, Inc. has announced the Digital Blaster, an all new digital video processor that incorporates all-digital connectivity with the ability to convert SDI inputs (both 480i and 1080i video signals) to a DVI-D output video signal along with high-quality scaling - all in one convenient and economical package. The Digital Blaster not only offers conversion and scaling, but will also perform an entire array of format conversions. With Digital Blaster there is no need to convert to analog, because all digital, crystal-clear picture quality is now practical at an affordable price. By starting with the high-quality SDI (Serial-Digital Interface) studio standard at 270 Mb per second (SD) or 1.485 GB per seconds (HD), you have the cleanest form of video. With the Digital Blaster you can take this pure digital video signal, scale it with its built-in high-quality scaler, and provide DVI-D digital video out for your display. And for those users requiring RGBHV output, it is also available via a D-sub output connection. Digital Blasterís use of Clear Matrix Pro and SDS (Super Digital Scaling), exclusive Key Digital technologies, allow the Digital Blaster to provide a level of performance that is beyond reproach at its price. Additional digital algorithms include DEE (Digital Edge Enhancement) which allows the Digital Blaster to have a smooth, film like quality, in processing the video image.Digital Blaster accepts SDI cable runs of up to 200 feet for HD and up to 500 feet for SD inputs, and the following HD and SD input video formats:ï 720 x 480i at 60 Hzï 1280 x 720p at 60 Hzï 1920 x 1080i at 60 Hzï 1920 x 1080p at 24 Hzï 1920 x 1080p at 24 Hz segmentedDigital Blaster provides user-selectable DVI-D output resolutions with a LED status indicator for the following HD and SD resolutions.ï 720 x 480p at 60 Hzï 1280 x 720p at 60 Hzï 1280 x 768p at 60 Hzï 1280 x 1024p at 60 Hzï 1920 x 1080i at 60 Hzï 1920 x 1080p at 60 Hzï 1920 x 1080p at 24 Hzï Pass-ThroughPricing and Availability Key Digital Systemís state-of-the-art Digital Blaster SDI In / DVI-D Out video processor will be available September, 2004, at a Manufacturerís Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $2,499.
