AJA HDP

Hardware scaling The AJA HDP is a miniature HD-SDI/SDI to DVI-D converter for LCD or Plasma monitors. Using a very high quality scaling engine, the HDP will automatically size 4:3 or 16:9 inputs to many DVI-D monitors. For appropriate monitor configurations, scaling is automatically 1 to 1—for example, displaying 1920x1080 video on a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor. The HDP will also automatically adapt the input frame rate for monitor compatibility. In addition, the HDP provides 2 channel RCA style audio monitoring and 2 looping outputs of the SDI inputs. 
Recommended Monitor mode: For recommended monitors, there is custom firmware that will provide an accurate frame-locked image for all supported SDI and HD-SDI input formats. The HDP automatically determines the monitor it is connected to. Recommended Monitors: Apple 23" HD Cinema, model M9178LL/A (aluminum bezel) Sony 23", model SDM-P234
VESA Mode: For DVI-D monitors not on the recommended list, the HDP will use standard VESA timing based on the particular monitors "preferred timing" - as determined by the EDID communication with the monitor. Because VESA timing standards are not based on video formats, the HDP cannot frame lock to the input video and will operate like a frame synchronizer - it will frame rate convert by adding or dropping frames as needed. If a particular monitor reports a preferred timing mode that is not supported by the HDP, the HDP will default to standard XGA (1024 x 768 60Hz) timing. Monitors tested for Compatibility in VESA Mode: HP HPL2335 Samsung 170T Samsung 213T Samsung 243T Samsung 173P
