The MicroImage PXd520 is a true high performance side-by-side display controller designed for demanding applications. The unit will display two full images side by side unlike a split screen which only shows a portion of each image. The two images may be easily exchanged with a front panel switch. The side by side display works well with wide screen monitors where the additional black at the top and bottom isn't as visible, maximizing display use.

The input signals are standard composite video. Genlocked signals are NOT required. The source can be anything from a studio cameras to camcorders and even the output of a VCR. The system will lock to many signals, even those of less than perfect quality. Each of the four input signals has a dedicated memory area for frame synchronization.

An optional border line may be selected to divide the images. This border can be set to off, black, dark gray, light gray and white via a front panel switch.

Two full images displayed side by side reduces the need for two monitors and and is commonly used in clinical applications such as behavioral sciences. Two subjects at different locations can be monitored and recorded with a precise time alignment.

Video conferencing typically has multiple people conversing at once and the side by side dual image can be used successfully in this application.

Courtroom display systems, which are becoming increasingly popular can benefit from the full image side by side display of the PXD520.

Two simultaneously displayed images allow for comparisons that are necessary in Forensics, Bio-Medical and industrial production. Displaying them on the same monitor allows very precise comparison. The output signal of the PXD520  can also be sent to a video printer for a precise hardcopy.

The PXD520 uses state-of-the-art, high performance digital signal processing (DSP) to maintain the highest quality video signals. This assures a consistent image will always be displayed. The PXD520 will always produce both composite and S-Video signals simultaneously.

The PXD520 family of products work with a variety of video sources and cameras. The PXD520 will work with almost any video cameras (or other video sources) that have a composite output signal and meet the NTSC or PAL standard. Genlock is NOT required.

The standard RS232 control allows the PXD520 to be controlled by a computer or other device or from a remote location. See the protocol definition manual for additional information.

A Rack mounting kit is available as an option.

Power is provided by a universal power supply (included) or it can be operated from +5VDC +/-5% (negative ground). The unit is packaged in a durable metal enclosure with plastic end bezels. The PXD520 has a one year parts and labor warranty.

Board Level, OEM and Custom products are also available.   Please contact MicroImage Engineering for additional information.
