TVB 200- PLUS        Only $350.00

Description

Display any NTSC or PAL video signal from video camera, DVD, or VCR on any VGA monitor, LCD, or  projector. The TVB200-Plus doubles the frame rate by turning the interlaced TV signal into a "progressive scan" (non-interlaced) signal suitable for high resolution display devices.

The TVB200-Plus provides 2 RCA composite, 1 S-Video, and 1 VGA input, all with their own corresponding stereo audio. Select any of the inputs either by using individual push-button switches on the front panel or by means of the RS232 serial port. The audio inputs have their own adjustable volume settings making it perfect for balancing the output volume level regardless of the input selection.

This feature rich converter can switch between the PC and TV inputs automatically. When the device is in "Auto" mode, if no TV video signal is present, it selects the PC input and as soon as a TV input is detected, it switches to the TV input by itself. This makes the converter perfect for educational facilities where the presenter does not even have to worry about making selections on the front panel.

A front panel enhancement switch is available to improve the quality of the converted VGA output. It is based on non-linear Gamma correction. If the TV video input has dim areas as well as bright areas (such as images from endoscopes used in medical procedures), simply increasing the brightness would not be desirable since it washes out the entire image and causes the already bright areas to "bloom". The enhancement feature of the TVB200-Plus, brings out the details in the dark areas without over driving the already bright regions of the image.

The unit features non-volatile memory to store the selected channel and performance characteristics. The TVB-200's output can drive VGA cables to 200 feet. Included are: a small power adapter and 6 ft video and audio cables for connection to the PC’s VGA and sound outputs.
