The DVPHD is HDCP compliant and factory-configurable to accommodate a full range of input signal types. Featuring the latest Gennum VXP™ scalers and deinterlacers, DVPHD automatically processes each signal for maximum display quality and performance. Proper HDCP management ensures fast, reliable switching and display of multiple digital HD source signals simultaneously.

Its modular design allows the selection of any of 5 different input cards, with one or two inputs per card, in up to 4 card slots. Available inputs include DVI-I, multi-format BNC video, SDI, and Crestron QuickMedia®. The DVI-I inputs support DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort Multimode digital video sources with HDCP content protection, as well as analog RGB and component sources, at resolutions up to HD 1080p60 and WUXGA 1920 x 1200.

The multi-format BNC video inputs accept analog signals from component HDTV sources up to 1080i, as well as standard definition NTSC/PAL composite and S-Video. The SDI inputs support SDI and HD-SDI digital sources up to 1080p30. QuickMedia inputs enable direct interface with our full line of QuickMedia distribution products.

Through a single DVI-I output connector, the DVPHD provides both digital and analog video outputs for use with displays having DVI, HDMI, or RGB inputs. Any progressive resolution up to 1920 x 1200 pixels is allowed, with an incredible 125 pre-defined "standard" resolutions, and the ability to define additional custom resolutions. Interlaced 1080i output is also supported through DVI or HDMI.

The Crestron DVPHD is the only multi-window video processor of its kind that handles HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), ensuring full compliance with a complete range of digital video players, cable and satellite receivers, multimedia computers, displays, and projectors. While other video processors ignore HDCP completely, the DVPHD actually performs advanced HDCP signal management, allowing up to four HDCP encrypted sources to be combined on screen along with non-HDCP sources, custom graphics, and live annotation, all viewable in full high-definition on up to 4 HDCP compliant displays.

As the move to digital takes hold, more and more movie studios and television service providers are using HDCP to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, broadcast signals, and online content against unauthorized copying. Analog connectivity, which can't support HDCP, is already being eliminated from the computers and AV equipment being sold today, and soon content providers will be taking full advantage of the new digital technology to ensure only authorized users are able to view their content in all its high-definition glory. Without HDCP, you'll be limited to viewing standard low-res video if you're lucky-or no image at all.

Crestron exclusive QuickSwitch HD technology eliminates the annoying switching latency that plagues other digital video processors and switchers. Viewing HDCP encrypted content involves a complicated process of handshaking and authentication between all the sources, processors, and displays in the system before an output signal can be delivered. This process normally occurs every time a signal is switched, causing a complete loss of signal for up to 15 seconds whenever a new source is selected. QuickSwitch HD technology alleviates this issue by maintaining a constant HDCP connection with each device in the system, eliminating the need to re-authenticate each time a different source is selected, providing smooth, uninterrupted transitions between HD sources.

Whether displaying a single full-screen image, or multiple windows with graphics, the DVPHD scales its output perfectly to match the native resolution and aspect ratio of your high-definition display. Featuring Gennum Visual Excellence Processing™ with TruMotionHD™ fully adaptive deinterlacing, the DVPHD achieves exceptional image sharpness and resolution from SDTV, HDTV, and computer sources. RealityExpansion™ 10-bit image processing employing FidelityEngine™ image enhancement delivers astounding realism and detail. FineEdge™ dynamic directional interpolation eliminates the jaggy artifacts typical of traditional deinterlacing algorithms.
