Extron starts shipping the DSC DP-HD A, a high-performance HDCP-compliant scaler able to convert DisplayPort signals to HDMI, with scaling at multiple output rates up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K.
It accepts DisplayPort signals at up to 3840x2160 @ 30Hz with reduced blanking. Advanced Extron signal processing features 1080i interlacing and Deep Colour processing, while integrator-friendly additions include auto-memory presets, on-screen display, test patterns, EDID Minder, stereo audio de-embedding and a DisplayPort input loop-through.
Audio capabilities include selectable audio muting, output volume control and an analog two-channel audio output for sending de-embedded audio to a sound system or audio destination.
"The DSC DP-HD A delivers an essential feature set for interfacing high resolution DisplayPort signals with HDMI-based AV systems," Extron says. "The input loop-through connection preserves the DisplayPort signal at its original resolution for local monitoring, while the powerful scaling engine and video processing capabilities ensure consistent, reliable signal conversion with high image quality."
