The VS-100 Video Scaler provides high quality up conversion from standard video formats to Computer or HDTV signals in a compact package. NTSC and PAL video standards are supported. Inputs can be Composite or S-Video. A computer bypass is also provided. The output is selectable as any computer resolution up to 2048x2048 at any vertical refresh rate and all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. A wide variety of computer signal formats are available to support PC, Mac and Workstation formats.

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 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 video image to fill the entire computer 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 full bandwidth chroma sampling insures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors.

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.
