Overview
Matrox Convert DVI Plus lets broadcasters easily and economically incorporate
content from computers, iPads, and iPhones into news programs. It is also the
perfect appliance to drive projectors and large displays at live events and in
houses of worship.
Convert computer content to broadcast video
Create broadcast-quality video from Mac and PC computer applications such as
Skype, YouTube, Google Earth, FaceTime, ProPresenter, PowerPoint, and web
browsers. Use media players to play back videos stored on your computer.
Genlock
Genlock to an SD analog black burst (bi-level) or HD tri-level genlock
source. Use horizontal and vertical timing offset controls to align your video
output relative to your external genlock source to compensate for cable delays
within your facility.
Region-of-interest
Matrox Convert DVI Plus lets you output just the content in a
region-of-interest at the broadcast resolution you need. Simply using your
mouse, you can define any region of any size from your computer display. If the
content you select doesn’t match the output resolution, Matrox Convert DVI Plus
provides horizontal and vertical upscaling and downscaling. The snap-to-window
feature automatically generates and positions a region-of-interest over a
particular image or window such as a YouTube video within a web page
Proc amp controls
Adjust the hue, chroma, saturation, and brightness levels of your output
signal.
Stand-alone DVI to SDI converter mode
Matrox Convert DVI Plus can be used with any progressive DVI device as your
input source such as a medical or industrial camera, an iPad or iPhone, or a
computer at any resolution. It’s a DVI to SDI converter. Once configured using
the unit’s PC- or Mac-based user interface via a USB connection, the control
computer can be disconnected.
Ideal for professional presentations
Thanks to its input detection feature, Matrox Convert DVI Plus is ideal for
conference environments, where presenters come up to the podium with their
laptops just a few minutes before their presentations. Regardless of the input
resolution, Convert DVI Plus will automatically output at the desired,
pre-programmed resolution.
Audio
Matrox Convert DVI Plus accepts your computer’s stereo audio output. The
audio is routed to the RCA audio output of Convert DVI Plus for monitoring and
is embedded into the SDI signal. Audio and video synchronization is maintained
throughout the hardware processing chain.
Output analog and digital video simultaneously
Matrox Convert DVI Plus provides a full complement of outputs including
HD/SD-SDI, HD/SD analog component, S-Video, and composite. Your choice of analog
output and the SDI output are simultaneously live.
Many ways to monitor your output
In addition to its digital and analog outputs, the user interface of Matrox
Convert DVI Plus provides a live preview window that can replace a cumbersome
external preview monitor.
Feed a downstream keyer
Over-the-shoulder graphics for news programs and lower-thirds or score
tickers for sports broadcasts are easy to create from computer content. You
simply scale and position your content to appear exactly where you want it on
your broadcast output using the live preview window. You select background key
colors from a large palette including super-white and super-black.
Convert HDMI signals
Many newer computers and devices such as iPhones or iPads have HDMI outputs
rather than DVI outputs. Matrox Convert DVI can be used with these devices via
an HDMI to DVI adapter that you purchase separately. In the case of iPhones or
iPads, you will also need an Apple Digital AV Adapter.
Overlay logos and graphics
The graphic overlay feature lets you add a custom logo or graphic to the
Convert DVI Plus output. You can display any PNG or TGA file with alpha over a
YouTube video, a Skype conversation, or a Google Earth map, for example.
Convert VGA (analog) signals
A/V professionals and broadcast engineers often need to work with laptops,
notebooks, netbooks, and older computers as sources of video content. These
devices may only have a VGA (analog) display output. Convert DVI Plus can be
used in conjunction with Matrox DualHead2Go to convert VGA signals, not just DVI
signals.
