The unit also performs warp mapping so that those images can be video projected on to curved screens or unusual shaped surfaces.
It has 3G-SDI input and output capability, as well as backwards compatibility with HD-SDI and SD-SDI formats. The processor will accept a wide range of HD, SD and computer inputs including DVI, HDMI, YPbPr/RGBS, VGA/RGBHV, S-Video, and Composite PAL, NTSC, and SECAM. For in-camera use, a Genlock input is provided for compatible with bi or tri-level sync or black & burst which vertically locks the output to the genlock reference signal.
