INTRODUCTION
1.1. General Introduction
VIP 3000 is a very flexible image scaler developed driving professional projectors and flat panel displays
from video or graphics sources. Seamless switching functionality is available via user-definable hotkeys
which provides a “last-frame capture, clean switch to new input” function with fast input switching, ideal
for source control in small installations where a vision mixer is not available.
VIP 3000 features state of the art digital image processor which provides market leading HD& SD per-
pixel multiple Iow-angle aperture-adjusted motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film pull-down
correction for 3:2, 2:2 and non-standard and broken cadences, significantly outperforming the
capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
VIP 3000 features post-production studio-grade image processing algorithms from Teranex for the very
best scaling, film and video noise reduction, MPEG artifact reduction and automatic audio time-line
correction to maintain lip-sync. VIP 3000 is a very flexible video and audio router with multiple HDMI and
analog input channels, digital, analog and optical audio support and SDI/HD-SDI compatibility.
The output image may also be zoomed and panned to select a particular area of interest.
VIP 3000 uses a very flexible high performance video input front end including true component video
support in analog YPbPr and RGBS formats and HDSDI/SDI digital formats as well as dual composite
(CVBS) and YC/S-Video inputs. A very high performance video decoder is utilised with 2x oversampling
and active comb filter for outstanding video image clarity. HDMI and DVI video with HDCP encryption is
also supported, as are computer graphics inputs in SVGA analogue and HDMI/DVI digital formats.
The output format can be set to Video I/O Track mode where it will automatically switch between 50Hz
and 59.94Hz depending on the input signal type so as to ensure best motion performance on the
projector or display while still performing time base correction, or can be set to a fixed output frame rate
for driving basic projectors or displays which are not 50Hz-compatible.

Alternatively I/O Lock mode can be selected which precisely locks the output frame rate to the input
frame rate dynamically without frame rate conversion so as to reduce system latency. (I/O Lock is only
compatible with screens connected by DVI and may not operate will all display types. It is not
compatible with CRT displays.)

Genlock allows any pre-defined output resolution to be vertically genlocked to a 50Hz or 59.94Hz SD or
HD video signal on the Component 1, Component 2, VGA, DVI or HDMI inputs. W hen Genlock is
enabled and a valid Genlock sync has been detected, the chosen Video I/O Track setting and chosen
output refresh rate will be automatically overridden and the output will run locked to the field sync
present on the Genlock signal.
Outputs are available in VGA analog and DVI digital formats which are useable simultaneously so that
one output can drive the main display while the other runs a local monitor for applications where the
main display is not visible from where the scaler is situated. Note that if an HDCP encrypted signal is
connected to the HDMI or DVI input, the DVI output signal will be similarly HDCP encrypted and the
VGA analog output will be disabled.
System control is via a front-panel LCD menu controlled via keys or through an intuitive „W indows‟
application connected via a normal RS232 serial port or via TCP/IP (Ethernet).

2.3. Genlock
The Genlock module allows any pre-defined output resolution to be vertically genlocked. The genlock
signal can be derived from the HDMI, DVI, SVGA or RGBS/YPbPrS or HDSDI inputs. (Note: If HDMI is
displayed, genlock cannot be to DVI and vice versa since these two inputs share a common signal
processing data path. Genlock via HDMI or DVI is only available when that HDMI or DVI intput is the
main image being displayed). It is recommended for best performance to apply genlock as an
analog bi or tri-level sync or black & burst to the S channel of Component1 or Component2, or
as an SDI or HDSDI digital sync.
The genlock signal must be a video format or computer VESA format compatible with the input to which
it is connected and must have a vertical rate of 24Hz, 50Hz, 59.94Hz or 60Hz. The output will be
vertically locked to the Genlock signal at the exact same rate, except for 24Hz genlock where the output
will be locked at 48Hz.
Genlock mode is compatible with Analog (VGA) and DVI display devices. However it should be noted
that the setting of the PLL Phase or tracking on a display device connected via Analog (VGA) may be
more sensitive when Genlock is used, especially if the incoming Genlock sync contains any noise or is
being provided as a composite video signal rather than a sync or sync+burst. Best Genlock
performance is obtained using DVI signal connection between the VIP 3000 and the display device.
Genlock status is shown via the front panel status indication on the right-hand side of the screen,
provided that Genlock has been enabled on the menu.
W hen Genlock is enabled and a valid Genlock sync has been detected, the chosen Video I/O track
setting and chosen output refresh rate will be automatically overridden and the output will run locked to
the field sync present on the Genlock signal.
Note: Genlock can be used with any pre-defined output mode but is not compatible with custom defined
user-configured output modes.
