Introduction
About this Manual
This manual discusses how to install, configure, and operate the Extron USP 405
universal signal processor and how to operate the optional IR 801 infrared
remote control (part #70-152-01).
Throughout this manual the terms “USP”, “universal signal processor”, and
“signal processor” are used interchangeably to refer to the same product.
About the USP 405
What is the USP 405?
The USP 405 is a high performance digital video scaler, scan converter,
standards converter, and transcoder. It accepts a wide range of video input
signals and converts them, up or down, into a number of different signal formats
to meet the video requirements of virtually any system. The USP 405 offers 35
output rates, including HDTV, and provides scaling solutions for boardrooms
and conference rooms, as well as rental and staging applications.
The USP 405 is available in four configurations: a basic model (part #60-369-01),
which does not include the serial digital interface (SDI); a model that includes
SDI input (part #60-369-02); a model that includes SDI output (part #60-369-03);
and a model that includes both SDI input and SDI output (part #60-369-04).
The USP accepts computer video (RGB), component video, S-video, composite
video, and SDI input (optional).
To enable superior scaling performance, the USP 405 features several of Extron’s
patent-pending technologies, including Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI™),
and 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection. DMI is an advanced motion detection and
compensation method that enables image enhancement with no loss of image
fidelity.
Controlling the USP 405 universal signal processor
The USP 405 can be controlled using one or more of the following means:
• The front panel controls
• A computer, a third party control system, or any other device that can send and
receive the serial communications through the RS-232 port. Extron’s
Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™) is a set of simple keystroke commands that
can be used with any such devices, and Extron’s control software for
Windows provides a graphical interface for controlling the signal
processor from a computer.
• The optional IR 801 remote control, which has most of the front panel controls
• Contact closure control

•Input 5 (optional) — One BNC connector inputs the optional SDI (serial
digital interface) signal.
Six video outputs —
•Composite video — One BNC connector for composite video
•Component video — Three BNC connectors for R-Y, B-Y, Y
•SDI video (optional) — One BNC connector for serial digital interface
(optional)
•S-video — One 4-pin mini-DIN connector for S-video
•RGB video — One 15-pin HD connector for RGB/computer video
•RGB/HDTV video — Five BNC connectors for HDTV R-Y, B-Y, Y
(component) video
Four ways to control the USP 405 — The USP’s front panel, a computer or other
RS-232 control device, the optional IR 801 remote control, or contact closure
control can all be used to control the USP.
Scaled outputs — The USP 405 offers 35 different output rates.
RS-232 configuration — The USP 405 can be configured by using the Extron
control software for Windows, or by using a third party control system.
Freeze button — Each input of the USP 405 can be frozen using the Freeze
button. Once the input is frozen, the input signal can be removed and the
frozen output image is not lost.
Quad-standard video decoding capability — The USP 405 uses a digital, four-
line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and
SECAM signals.
Accu-RATE Frame Lock™— The patented Extron Accu-RATE Frame Lock™
eliminates artifacts from scaled motion video by eliminating frame rate
conversion. It locks the output frame rate to the input frame rate of the
active input. The result is a switching system that eliminates image tears
and other artifacts from motion video.
Dynamic Motion Interpolation™(DMI™)— This video processing technique is
an advanced motion prediction and compensation method that treats
motion content and still content with different algorithms to yield high
fidelity images.
3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL video
sources — These advanced film mode processing features help maximize
image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film.
When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be
matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies
and other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing
techniques are used on film-source video. The USP 405’s advanced film
mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The USP
405 then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion
of video that was made with the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in
richly detailed images with sharply defined lines. A similar process is
used for PAL film-source video.
Versatile mounting options — The UPS 405 can be rack mounted, or it can be
placed on a table or other furniture. Rubber feet and rack mounting
hardware are included.

USP 405 • Installation and Operation2-4
Rear Panel Features
The rear panel of the USP 405, as shown below, contains all of the possible
connectors available on the USP.
USP 405 rear panel connectors
Power connection
1
AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord into this
connector to connect the USP 405 to a 100 to 240VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz
power source. The front panel control and input selection buttons light in
sequence during power-up.
Video input and output connections
2 3
Video input 1 — RGB/computer video is input through the female
15-pin HD connector (
2
) and the input signal is also buffered and output
through a female 15-pin HD connector (
3
) for loop-through to a local
monitor. The RGB input can be scaled to 35 different output resolutions
and scan converted for YUV, YC, composite video, or SDI output.
Output of the SDI signal requires the SDI output card option.
4
Video input 2 — This input, consisting of 5 female BNC connectors,
accepts computer video (RGB), component video, composite video, and
S-video signals. The input can be scan converted for YUV, YC, composite
video, or SDI output. The output can be scaled to 35 different output
resolutions. Connect cables for the appropriate signal type, as shown in the
following diagram.
For 24 kHz to 100 kHz RGB signals, Input 2 can accept RGBHV, RGBS, or
RGsB formats when “RGB” is the selected input type (see Input
Configuration on page 2-13).
For 15 kHz RGB signals (NTSC 3.58/PAL/SECAM/NTSC 4.43), Input 2
can accept RGBS or RGBcvS formats when “RGBcvS” is the selected input
type (see Input Configuration on page 2-13).
The USP 405 does not accept any signal between 15.75 kHz and 24 kHz.
A 15.xx kHz input signal is converted properly only if the input is RGBS or
RGBcvS, but a 15.xx kHz RGBHV signal is not successfully converted.
