BARCO ImagePRO-II

Full description

ImagePRO-II is an advanced high performance all-in-one video scaler, scan converter, switcher and transcoder converting any input signal format to any output format. ImagePRO-II supports Universal Analog, DVI single and dual link, HDMI, DisplayPort and SD/HD/3G SDI signal formats. Loop-through outputs are provided for the Analog, DVI and SDI input and genlock signals. With features like HDCP and EDID management, USB back up and restore, multiple video effects and web page interface, ImagePRO-II is the most advanced and flexible signal processor in the industry.

Next generation Athena scaler

Incorporating the 5th generation of the Athena scaler - Barco's custom-designed image processing technology, ImagePRO-II supports higher resolutions, higher frame rates, higher quality de-interlacing with advanced Motion Adaptive processing, faster source acquisition, better color depth and native support for all the latest computer formats. As formats and interface requirements frequently change, the Athena scaler is built to be adaptable providing superior signal clarity, while maintaining a low processing latency of only one frame.

Simple setup and advanced control

Whether you are saving a setup for later, or need to copy a setup to multiple units, the incorporated USB back up and restore functionality makes configuration simple and efficient. ImagePRO-II is easily controlled via the front panel, browser or a mobile device. Featuring the fastest automatic source acquisition available, the ImagePRO-II excels in automatically acquiring and locking to any input signal. On the output side, ImagePRO-II can also automatically determine the format of the attached display optimizing its output resolution to match the display's resolution.

Shock tested, roadie approved

As the ImagePRO-II is built for the live event industry it has been designed with the road in mind. With features like field replaceable DVI connectors, 1 RU form factor and professional EtherconTM connector ImagePRO-II supports the demanding environment of any live event.
