The C2N-DVP4DI is an advanced multi-window digital video processor and touchpanel interface. Ideal for multi-image displays in videoconference rooms, training rooms, command centers, sports bars, home theaters, and kiosks, the "DVP4DI" combines a unique set of features to deliver an oustanding presentation solution.

Digital Video Processor

The DVP4DI displays up to four simultaneous scalable video windows on a single high-resolution monitor, projector or plasma display. Up to 12 video inputs and 4 RGB/computer inputs may be selectively routed to any of the four onscreen windows. A built-in 12 x 4 seamless matrix switcher accepts inputs from NTSC/PAL composite, S-Video, and component video sources. In addition, four DVI-I inputs support high-resolution analog RGB and DVI digital sources. The output of the DVP4DI may be fed to any RGB or DVI display device through a single DVI-I output.

Each video window is processed by a discrete video scaler with motion adaptive deinterlacing, bringing out the highest detail by stabilizing each picture and minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts for each video window. Automatic source identification assigns the optimum deinterlacing algorithm based upon the input for film, computer or video camera source material, with 3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) pulldown detection and compensation.

The DVP4DI supports non-interlaced input resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 RGB and 1280 x 1024 DVI. HDTV formats are also supported when converted to RGB (a component-to-VGA adapter must be provided by others). The output of the DVP4DI may be formatted as either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio with resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 RGB and 1280 x 1024 DVI.

The DVP4DI features Crestron's Isys® graphics engine, allowing for the creation of stunning graphics, images, text, and animations. The position and appearance of each video window can be fully customized within the total graphical interface with the ability to apply digital transition effects including pan, fade, dissolve, reveal, stretch, cut, and zoom. With Crestron's exclusive Synapse™ image-rendering algorithm, the DVP4DI includes the same advanced graphic abilities as Crestron's Isys touchpanels, supporting crisp, sharp anti-aliased objects and text, high-resolution images, 3D effects, animations, and more. With 32-bit graphics that include an 8-bit alpha channel, translucent objects can be incorporated in the foreground or background in combination with the video windows.

To accommodate any size or amount of high-rez image files, a memory card slot accessible on the rear panel allows for expansion of the DVP4DI's internal memory using any Type II Compact Flash memory card up to 4 GB. A 1GB Compact Flash card is included.

Touchpanel Interface

The DVP4DI can be used to transform a third-party touchscreen monitor, whiteboard, or plasma display into a full-featured, large-scale Crestron Isys touchpanel. This opens a host of possibilities for special control and presentation applications such as interactive kiosks, museum or tradeshow displays, training rooms, command centers, and more.

Computers displayed on the DVP4DI may even be controlled through the touchscreen interface. Crestron's exclusive "Touch-the-PC" technology allows real time touchpanel navigation of any Windows® PC through a direct high-speed serial connection. Four RS-232 serial ports are provided.

Users also have the flexibility to navigate the DVP4DI's graphical user interface using a pointing device like the Crestron CNWM wireless presentation remote, or a serial mouse (included).

The DVP4DI even includes a built-in telestrator, enabling finger-operated video annotation. Computer and video images can be frozen on screen to allow annotation over a still picture. Three brush sizes and eight colors are selectable on the fly. The DVP4 works equally well with third-party external telestrators like the Boeckeler Pointmaker® and Smart Technologies Sympodium™.

The DVP4DI is designed to be used as part of a complete Crestron system communicating with any 2-Series control system via Cresnet or Ethernet.
