The Knox DC-100 down converter provides high quality scan conversion from Computer or HDTV signals to standard video formats in a compact package. It handles any computer resolution up to 2048x2048 at any vertical refresh rate and all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. In order to deal with PC, Mac and most Computer Workstation signals, a wide variety of computer signal formats can be accommodated. Video outputs are switchable between NTSC and PAL and are simultaneously provided in Composite and S-Video. A PC loop-thru is also provided.

The DC-100 automatically sizes and positions the computer image to fit exactly on any video screen. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even when power is switched off. All the functions can be controlled via the front panel Push Buttons, an Infrared Control Remote Unit or via an RS-232 connection. A Windows Control Panel is provided and most third party control systems interface directly with the entire VS or DC range of products. An On-Screen Display is available to assist in setup.

Variable Zoom to 10X allows you to enlarge any part of the computer screen to fill the entire video screen and position controls allow you to move around to any area desired. Variable Shrink to as little as 10% allows fitting the image onto most displays. The advanced Digital Flicker Elimination circuitry and high sampling rate insures crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth chroma sampling insures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. The DC-100 is housed in a compact desktop case and a single/dual rackmount kit is available as an option.
 

Corio2 Powered

Knox Video Technologies has teamed with TV One who has developed its own proprietary technology known as CORIO2™. After careful evaluation of all the scaler technology currently available, the CORIO2™ processor was chosen for its flexibility and performance. Products based on other chipsets have a feature set frozen at the introduction of the product. Since the CORIO2™ video processing engine is entirely firmware based, it can be upgraded at any time by downloading the latest version from the support website and flash upgrading the unit in the field. This enables new features to be added to units many years after the initial purchase. This “obsolescence insurance” means that a CORIO2™ based product can always be upgraded to the latest version of that model.
