Technologies

n Advanced scaling algorithm built into Digital Magic™

n Clear Matrix™ de-interlaces incoming video, and converts incoming 480i or 1080i to1080p as an intermediate format before conversion to display's native resolution.

n Analyzes the signal at eight points spatially and three points temporally on the inputsignals quadrant to give a significant improvement in clarity and image resolution

n 3:2 pull-down film mode detection.

n Cutting edge scaling algorithm built into HD Hanna™, HD Leeza™, and Digital Blaster™

n Clear Matrix Pro™ de-interlaces incoming video, and converts incoming 480i or 1080ito 1080p as an intermediate format before conversion to display's native resolution.

n Key Digital® Professional version of the Clear Matrix™ algorithm.n The Pro version of Clear Matrix™ further extends the performance of Key Digital®

digital video processors by analyzing the signal at twelve different points spatially and three points temporally in the visual quadrant field.

n This 50% increase in sampling further extends the performance capability of theClear Matrix™ algorithm for the utmost in clarity and image resolution.

It’s the Technology that drives all Key Digital® products.Here’s a summary of the cutting-edge technologies that you will find in our products:

n All-digital scaling.n Takes the video image from 1080p to the native resolution of the display,

with no artifacts.

n To achieve the highest-quality image, all Key Digital® products feature LHBC™, which usesonly ultra-linear components with an extremely wide bandwidth in excess of 300 MHz.

n These high-bandwidth devices, along with the aerospace designed layouts,assure the user a high quality video image free of noise and distortion.

n Our quality standards require over three-times the bandwidth commonly used for HDTV products.

n For a significant improvement in the video image, the advanced DPE™ algorithmmakes the adjustment in both positive AND negative gamma.

n Most video processors only adjust to positive gamma.n By giving the digital information an adjustment in negative gamma,

the black level is significantly enhanced.

n A unique algorithm that controls which portion of the video display is dynamically stretched.

n Most conventional processors only stretch the center or far edge.n Key Digital’s® DSX™ system gives the user the u™ost in flexibility in

determining the best possible position for this enhancement.

n Key Digital’s® DEE™ technology works on both the horizontal and vertical part of the signal.

n Our unique enhancement gives a sharper image, which in turn makes the movieviewing presentation significantly superior to other conventional processes.

n The result is a smoothness, beauty and color saturation that is film-like in its imaging.

n The newer standards for DVI and HDMI require correct “syncing” of the video signal to the display.

n Key Digital’s® HOVO™ circuit is a powerful syncing design that corrects the syncing on these newer standards and allows for repositioning of these signals to correctlymatch them to the display.

n Key Digital’s® powerful DVIC™ system regenerates the clock to allow for superior performance in conversion from 1080i to 1080p.

n This regeneration is absolutely necessary to maximize the performance in displaying signals in the 1080p format.

n All “clocks” require accurate phase adjustment in giving the best possible picture.n Key Digital’s® DVPC™ circuit has seven individual settings for properly adjusting

phase of the clock with respect to the video data.

n Along with Key Digital’s® LHBC™ technology, D1000™ effectively triples the length of cable that can be used in distributing video signals.

n The D1000™ circuit design can drive cable lengths up to 1000 feet.n This technology is used in Key Digital’s® HD View4™ Distribution Amplifier.

n Key Digital’s® Auto Sensing Circuit automatically senses the active source and feeds it to the display.

n First used on the Key Digital® Flash 2™ switcher, the IAS™ circuit seamlessly,and without signal degradation, senses the active source and automatically switchesit to the display.

n Key Digital’s® MBDC™ high-quality digital cables are outstanding in allowing for the reliable delivery of digital video signals to a display.

n MBDC™, the unique balance of silver, copper and polyethylene materials, allows the digital video imaging information to transfer without degradation to the signal.

n All Key Digital’s® Cables feature MBDC’s™ unique combination of material and quality termination.

n The MBDC™, standard necessitates that cables are terminated with the highest possible integrity, as materials poorly terminated will degrade signal performance.

n Circuit boards used in Key Digital® products use the latest in materials and design togive the best possible performance and reliability. In fact, our Printed Circuit Boards(PCB’s) are designed by aerospace engineers who are extremely sophisticated atimplementing extremely low noise circuits and devices for communicating videosignals over large distances. Their experience in design assures you that every KeyDigital® product will give you the best possible video image.

n In addition, all Key Digital® circuits are carefully impedance-matched by the carefulplacement of ground planes and component positioning. This impedance-matchingimplementation assures you that are products have a high degree of compatibilitywith virtually any and all video displays currently available.

Video AdaptabilityThere are many different video products for processing, switching, and distributing your sources. But “Video” comes in all shapes and sizes. In many instances, the video input or output formats of these products are not “compatible.” For example, your PersonalComputer may output “VGA” but you may want to view it on your Component Video HDTV display.

What do you do? You could purchase all-new equipment that is totally compatible, a significant investment, but again limits you toever consider equipment in the future which does not conform to the standard you just purchased. At Key Digital®, we have a betteridea. We have designed economical, high-quality Video Adapter solutions.

Video FormatsNeed to connect your VGA (RGBHV) devices, like Set Top Boxes or computer outputs, to your component HDTV display? Or, do you need to connect your progressive DVD players or other Component Video output devices to a VGA monitor or display? Simplychoose the right Key Digital® Video Adapter for your application, and in minutes you will effortlessly enjoy crystal-clear, color-richvideo on the display of your choice.

Intelligent FeaturesKey Digital® Video Adapters are simple to set up and operate – no more fumbling with switch settings since they are all automatic.What’s more is that we craft intelligent features into our Video Adapters, like convenient VGA loop-throughs so you can maintain yourexisting VGA connections.
