Magellan 3-Input Scaling Switcher

Marketing Information

The MAS-3200 automatically sizes and positions the incoming video signal and then scales the image to the user selected output resolution. Standard VGA resolutions are supported up to 1280x1024 as well as16:9 aspect ratio outputs.

Several advanced techniques are incorporated into the scaling engine to provide the best possible scaled output. The 3:2 pull-down detector automatically detects images that began as film. Since these images began their life at 24 frames per second, and standard video signals are 30 frames per second, a special algorithm is invoked to provide clear, fluid motion. In addition, a multi-line vertical filter eliminated artifacts caused in the de-interlacing process. Static images are also processed through their own filter to ensure that they are rock solid.

The MAS-3200 is an advanced scaling switcher, but has been made very easy to use. Source selection and all of the image attributes including, brightness, contrast, hue and saturation are accessible from the front panel with easy to use on-screen menus. The unit may also be controlled remotely via an RS-232 connection with supplied software or a control system.

The connections on the back are just as easy. The MAS-3200 accepts composite video, on a BNC, S-Video on a 4-pin mini-DIN, and computer video on an HD-15 connector. The output connector is an HD-15 and provides RGBHV or YpBpR (user select).

In addition to scaling switchers, such as the MAS-3200, FSR offers a full line of interfaces, line drivers, distribution amplifiers, down converters, power sequencers and much more.
