VSC 700
VSC 700D
The Extron VSC 700 and VSC 700D are single input, high resolution
computer-to-video scan converters that combine high performance with an
expanded feature set and innovative technologies. Both models are ideal for
use in a range of integrated A/V systems, including broadcast applications,
videoconference facilities, conference rooms and boardrooms, and rental and
staging environments.

DESCRIPTION
Optional VSC Remote
Handheld IR Remote

nInput memory presets – Allow the scan converter to automatically
recall up to 16 user presets, 60 factory presets, and eight zoom presets.
Each memory location stores filter, size, and centering, or zoom
settings for each source which can be recalled instantaneously when
switching between different computer-video inputs and resolutions.
nImage freeze control – The output video can be frozen using the
freeze button on the front panel. This allows the scan converter to
capture a frame of video to display for an extended period of time,
even after the source has been removed.
nInternal color bar generator – An internally-generated color bar
pattern is provided for simplified setup of a display. The color bar
pattern or a black screen can also be set as the default output when no
input signal is present.
nVideo genlock – All NTSC and PAL video outputs can be synchronized
to an external reference signal for integration into broadcast and
production applications.
nRS-232 and RS-422 serial control port – Using serial commands,
the VSC 700 and VSC 700D can be controlled and configured via
the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into
third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS™- Simple
Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code
commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
nOptional IR remote control, part # 70-206-01 – The optional
VSC Remote handheld IR remote control performs most front panel
functions such as image freeze, zoom in and out, size and shift, vertical
filter adjustment, and preset selection.
nFront panel security lockout – This feature locks out all front panel
functions except for input selection; all functions however, are available
through RS-232 control.
nRack-mountable 1U, half rack width metal enclosure
nInternal international power supply – The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz,
autoswitchable internal power supply provides worldwide
power compatibility.
ALSO AVAILABLE
The Extron VSC 900D Two Input High Resolution Computer-to-Video
Scan Converter with Genlock and SDI Output builds on the performance
and features of the VSC 700, with two RGBHV inputs on BNCs and
15-pin HD, each with a buffered loop-through for simplified integration.
In addition to SDI output and video genlock, the VSC 900D offers
additional filter adjustment capability to further refine image quality.
The Extron VSC 700 and VSC 700D High Resolution Computer-to-Video
Scan Converters combine high performance processing with an expanded
feature set designed for easy integration. They accept computer-video
signals at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and simultaneously output a
scan-converted video signal as NTSC or PAL composite video, S-video,
and component video or RGB video. In addition, the VSC 700D includes
a fourth, SDI serial digital video output. The VSC 700 and VSC 700D are
ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including videoconferencing,
video recording, and viewing of computer-video images on an NTSC or
PAL monitor or other video display device.
Both models feature Auto-Image setup for automatic adjustment of
centering, sizing, and filter settings. Additional key features include zoom
control up to 200%, a color bar generator, an LCD display for user-
friendly menu navigation, memory presets, and a buffered loop-through
for local monitor output. For broadcast and production applications,
the VSC 700 and VSC 700D include video genlock capability for
synchronization to an external reference signal. The VSC 700D adds an
SDI output for integration into digital broadcast and production systems.
The VSC 700 and VSC 700D can be controlled via the front panel, RS-232
or RS-422 serial control, or the optional VSC Remote handheld IR remote
control. They are housed in rack-mountable 1U, half rack width enclosures
and are equipped with an internal international power supply.
FEATURES
nAutomatically recognizes and converts computer resolutions from
560x384 to 1920x1200 and frequencies to 100 kHz horizontal and
120 Hz vertical
nBuffered loop-through – Provides a local monitor output, enabling
the computer input signal to be monitored without the need for a
separate distribution amplifier.
nThree simultaneous outputs – NTSC or PAL standard video is output
as composite video, S-video, and component or RGB video.
nOptional SDI output – The VSC 700D features a SMPTE 259M- and
ITU.R BT-601-compliant SDI serial digital video output that facilitates
the integration of computer-video signal sources into digital broadcast
and production applications.
nAuto-Image setup – Saves time by providing calibration of image size,
position, clock, and phase adjustments at the touch of a button.
nVertical filtering – Five selectable vertical filters reduce jitter, improve
image quality, and help maintain picture detail.
nHorizontal filtering – Four selectable horizontal filters prevent aliasing
or pixel elimination so that less detail is dropped when the image is
scanned from left to right.
nSizing and centering controls – User-friendly positioning is accessible
through the front panel for quick and efficient image setup.
nImage zoom control and presets – Eight zoom presets are available
for recalling size, position, and filtering, enabling the user to quickly
zoom in on a certain area of an image.
