[ENTER THE DETAIL DESCRIPTION HERE]The Encore Video Processor incorporates universal inputs that accept both analog and digital video. Motion adaptive de-interlacing is
provided for both standard and HD source video. Incoming videos are processed by Barco Folsom's proprietary Athena scaler. This scaler
supports smooth real-time PIP movements and re-sizing based upon user specified Key Frames. The basic Encore configuration
supports six independent PIP or Key images or three transitioning PIP images. Seamless transition effects, Z-order control, window
borders, drop shadows and a variety of keying effects are fully supported. Two un-scaled background channels provide a high
resolution backdrop that also supports seamless transition effects. Down Stream Key (DSK) effects are supported by a third un-scaled
high-resolution input channel.
Two different Encore System Controllers models are offered to meet the varying demands of rental and staging professionals. The
Encore Controller SC is designed for applications involving 24 input videos and can control shows with from 1-6 screens. The Encore
Controller LC is designed for advanced applications involving up to 64 input videos and from 1-32 screens. Both controllers are capable
of controlling external routers for external source selection and Encore Video Processor units to provide high-performance real-time
video effects. The controllers can also be used with Barco's Events Manager software to synchronize operation with external devices
and to run pre-programmed show sequences. The controllers use an embedded Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to provide high
reliability, rapid power-up and true real-time performance for critical video processing sequences.

The Encore Video Processor is packaged as a 3RU rack-mount unit. Encore Video Processors are sold with one, two or three
Mixer/Effect (M/E) boards to meet different application requirements. Models ordered with one or two M/E boards can be easily
upgraded by addition of additional M/E boards.
Each M/E board provides two independent Athena scaler channels with universal inputs that handle both analog and digital video
sources. The unit accepts standard component and composite analog video formats (NTSC, PAL, SECAM), SDI video, computer
resolutions up to 1600x1200, analog HD formats including 720p, 1080I, 1080p, HD-SDI Video, 2048x1080p Digital Cinema video, and
Plasma display resolutions. The Athena scaler features 1:1 pixel sampling, motion adaptive de-interlacing for both standard and high
definition sources, 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detection, low video delay, aspect ratio correction, image cropping and real-time window resizing
and positioning. Seamless transition effects, window borders, drop shadows and a variety of keying effects are fully supported.
The baseline Encore Video Processor configuration is a unit with three M/E boards. A unit configured in this manner can scale six input
sources to generate PIP and/or Key images. PIP and Key images can be sized and positioned at any location on the screen in real-time.
Z-order control is used to assign overlay priorities to each PIP or Key image. PIP images can be linked in pairs to support PIP transition
effects or displayed independently and transitioned onto the background image. Key images are used to provide a variety of key
effects such as superimposing titles on the image or creating special mask effects. Each Encore Video Processor also supports two
native resolution background channels to provide a high resolution backdrop for the PIP images. Seamless transitions are also
supported on the background image. In addition to six scaled inputs and a transitioning background, the unit supports a high resolution
Down Stream Key (DSK) input.
Each Encore Video Processor incorporates one Output Board. This board provides all
output interface functions as well as blending and data-doubling functions required to
support widescreen applications. Output resolutions supported include computer
resolutions up to 1600x1200, analog HDTV resolutions including 720p, 1080I, 1080p, HDSDI
Video, 2048x1080p Digital Cinema video, and Plasma display resolutions. Output
synchronization is supported to lock the output frame rate to an externally applied
NTSC/PAL black burst signal.
