ScreenPRO II uses four image layers (Unscaled Background, up to two scaled PIPs or Keys, and an unscaled Downstream Key) to produce sophisticated effects, including transitioning backgrounds, transitioning PIPs, wipes, dissolves and keys.

Two inputs are scaled and mixed to provide mixing within a PIP (Picture-in-Picture) or, alternately, two independent PIPs or Keys displayed on a Background.  In addition, two unscaled high-resolution input channels provide seamlessly transitioning backgrounds, or alternately, a high resolution background and high resolution Downstream Key (DSK).  An internal 8X2 analog video router provides universal analog sources to each scaler channel.  In addition, up to two optional SD/HD SDI inputs are available for the scaled channels.

ScreenPRO II supports input and output resolutions up to UXGA. High quality motion adaptive de-interlacing is performed on Standard Definition and High Definition video sources. ScreenPRO II features a low video processing delay of three input fields maximum.

ScreenPRO II is packaged as a 3RU rack-mount unit.
