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.
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.
