The RGB/Videolink 1650X video scan converter transforms computer signals to broadcast standard video in real time with the same high quality as the popular model 1650. But as an enhancement to the earlier 1650 model, the 1650X includes a 4-line LCD display as part of the front panel. Users can access the full functionality of the scan converter through the LCD display.

The RGB/Videolink 1650 accepts all computer signals up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. This includes virtually all desktop computers and workstations from Sun, DEC, HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics and others. Synchronization and set-up are completely automatic. The RGB/Videolink 1650 measures the input signal and sets up the parameters for the sharpest picture, correct aspect ratio and size of the output image.

The unit also offers a variety of outputs: Selectable NTSC/PAL composite video, S-Video (S-VHS, Hi-8) and component analog video (Betacam/MII) outputs. Computer generated images can then be recorded on videotape or displayed on video projectors, teleconferencing systems and composite monitors.

State-of-the-art digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry eliminates interlace flicker in the output image. Even thin horizontal lines appear stable. Three levels of filtering offer you the best choice between image sharpness and flicker elimination.

A zoom function lets you scale a portion of the image to fill the video screen or provide just the right amount of underscan/overscan adjustment.
