The CenterStage™video processors, by Focus
Enhancements, offer exceptional image quality, flexibility,
features, and the latest in de-interlacing, digital video
processing and scaling technology. With a combination
of advantages usually found in the most expensive
processors, CenterStage brings high-end performance
without the high-end price.
While television, DVDs, tapes, and other interlaced
sources look good on displays designed for their
resolution, artifacts result when these sources are
incorrectly converted for higher resolution displays.
The scaling circuitry inside projectors or plasmas
is typically primitive or only optimized for computer
video sources. External line doublers, while better,
only bring the source one step closer to the native
resolution required by the display.
CenterStage functions as a resolution multiplier and
upscales video to the full native resolutions required by
today's CRT/LCD monitors, LCD/DLP/D-ILA projectors,
and high-resolution plasma display panels.
Visible scan lines and flicker are eliminated, and
the result is a picture with improved detail and color
quality that is perfect for professional presentations
and home theater applications. CenterStage accepts
interlaced, progressive and digital inputs. Its output is
pure, flicker-free, progressive video that is fine-tuned
to your standard or high-definition display.
In addition to an easy-to-use interface complete with
infrared remote and on-screen display, the full RS-232
capability allows for interfacing to Crestron, AMX,
or similar controllers. Input parameters are stored to
ensure consistent operation with all your video sources.

CenterStage Remote (CSR)
Any registered CenterStage customer can download CSR for free. With CSR , your CenterStage Video Processor is
controllable, customizable, and upgradable. CSR runs on a Win 95/98/NT/2000 computer with a RS-232 serial port,
and requires a standard serial cable for connection to CenterStage.
With CSR, you can:
• Control video settings, select input
channels or formats, and set preferences
• Customize, rename, delete, or add
output resolutions
• Upgrade your CenterStage Video
Processor's operating software
• Verify serial operation for Crestron
or AMX interfacing
Most importantly, CSR ensures that your
CenterStage is future-proof, since new
display resolutions can be easily
downloaded and installed.

DVI and HDCP
The CenterStage CS-2 Video Processor supports the most common flavor of digital
source and display standards, DVI. With DVI, or the Digital Visual Interface, video
remains digital from the source (STB, PC, DVD, HTPC, etc.), through the CenterStage
Video Processor, and to the display (television, monitor, projector, plasma, etc.).
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a content protection scheme used
with DVI to prevent unauthorized copying
and redistribution of digitally perfect
content. Original content via computer
display cards or game consoles, and
video from standard definition DVD
players will not likely be content protected.
New high-definition set-top boxes are
expected to be HDCP enabled to protect
high-definition movies and pay-per-view
programming. DVI with HDCP is standard
on CenterStage CS-2, so it is fully
compatible with any HDTV installation.
