The
CenterStage video processors, by Focus Enhancements, offer exceptional image
quality, flexibility, features, and the latest in de-interlacing, digital video
processing and scaling technology. With a combination of advantages usually
found in the most expensive processors, CenterStage brings high-end performance
without the high-end price.
While television, DVDs, tapes, and other interlaced sources look good on
displays designed for their resolution, artifacts result when these sources are
incorrectly converted for higher resolution displays. The scaling circuitry
inside projectors or plasmas is typically primitive or only optimized for
computer video sources. External line doublers, while better, only bring the
source one step closer to the native resolution required by the display.
CenterStage functions as a resolution multiplier and upscales video to the full
native resolutions required by today's CRT/LCD monitors, LCD/DLP/D-ILA
projectors, and high-resolution plasma display panels.
Visible scan lines and flicker are eliminated, and the result is a picture with
improved detail and color quality that is perfect for professional presentations
and home theater applications. CenterStage accepts interlaced, progressive and
digital inputs. Its output is pure, flicker-free, progressive video that is
fine-tuned to your standard or high-definition display.
In addition to an easy-to-use interface complete with infrared remote and
on-screen display, the full RS-232 capability (CS-1,CS-2 models only) allows for
interfacing to Crestron, AMX, or similar controllers. Input parameters are
stored to ensure consistent operation with all your video sources.
STANDARD
DIGITAL !
The
CenterStage Video Processors CS-1 and CS-2 support the most common
flavor of digital source and display standards, DVI. With DVI, or
the Digital Visual Interface, video remains digital from the
graphic source (PC, DVD, HTPC, etc.), through the CenterStage, and
to the display (television, monitor, projector, plasma, etc.).
CS-HD has DVI output only.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a content
protection scheme optionally used with DVI to prevent unauthorized
copying and redistribution of digitally perfect content. Original
content via computer display cards or game consoles, and video
from standard definition DVD players will not likely be content
protected. High-definition set-top boxes are expected to be HDCP
enabled to protect high-definition movies and pay-per-view
programming.
CenterStage
CS-2 has DVI and DVI HDCP in and out. (HDCP encrypted source
material can only be output as HDCP DVI, so your display
must support HDCP DVI. Un-encrypted DVI in will output as
both DVI and analog) .
CenterStage
CS-1 has DVI in and out, and is not HDCP compliant
CenterStage
CS-HD has DVI out only, and in not HDCP compliant
CENTERSTAGE
REMOTE (CSR)
Any
registered CenterStage customer can download CSR for free. With
CSR , your CenterStage CS-1 or CS-2 Video Processor is
controllable, customizable, and upgradable. CSR runs on a Win
95/98/NT/2000 computer with a RS-232 serial port, and requires a
standard serial cable for connection to CenterStage. With CSR, you
can:
Control video settings, select input channels or formats, and set
preferences
Customize, rename, delete, or add output resolutions
Upgrade your CenterStage Video Processor's operating software
Verify serial operation for Crestron or AMX interfacing
Most importantly, CSR ensures that your CenterStage is
future-proof, since new display resolutions can be easily
downloaded and installed.
