Extreme is launching the DVS 100, a digital video scaler that scales NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats up to analog RGB formats at computer-video, progressive HDTV or plasma resolutions. The DVS 100 takes the horizontal and vertical sync timing and number of lines for the composite video, S-video or component video input and converts them to match the native resolution of the projector or other display device. The image is then able to fill the entire screen horizontally and vertically while remaining undistorted.The rack-mountable DVS100 features variable top and bottom vertical blanking. Not all of the video inputís lines are used for image information. Some of the lines at the top and bottom, the blanking lines, are used to encode other information, such as closed-captioning. With variable top and bottom of the screen, until all the edge noise is eliminated.For more information, contact Mandi Speer at 714 491 1500.
