The ScreenPRO-II Controller is a versatile interface that enables users to control up to four
individual ScreenPRO-II units and peripheral equipment (such as BlendPRO-II, MatrixPRO
routers and ImagePRO). The ScreenPRO-II Controller offers the complete functionality of
the ScreenPRO-II front panel, plus many features that are not available on the local panel.
Features include:
• Enhanced hardware and software features:
~ Control of multiple ScreenPRO-II units as “destinations,” including both
single and widescreen configurations. Refer to the “System
Combinations” section on page 22 for sample configurations.
~ Support for widescreen applications using two or more ScreenPRO-II
units in conjunction with BlendPRO-II.
~ In “internal” routing mode, support for 16 analog inputs and 2 HD-SDI/
SD-SDI inputs. In “external” routing mode, support for 16 inputs, in any
combination of analog and digital.
~ Optional Tally board provides eight programmable tallies, which can be
assigned to any input source. The board also provides a PS-2
connector, and when a customer-supplied keyboard is connected, users
can enter system values and names.
~ 3.8” LCD Touch Screen with eight soft menu buttons and two rotary
encoders for menu navigation.
~ 3-Axis Joystick for quick sizing and positioning of PIPs and Keys.
~ Color-coded buttons and layouts match color scheme of Encore and
ScreenPRO-II product family.
~ Dimmable, flexible light stick (script light) with XLR connector.
~ Internal convection-cooled power supply (no fan needed).
~ The programmable Controller Lockout feature allows operators to lock
the Controller, thus disabling all button presses. The lockout code is
user-programmable.
~ The Controller’s Flash Memory Card Slot enables users to backup and
restore system configuration parameters. The Flash Memory card itself
is customer supplied.
~ The “Join” feature allows both layers to be locked together,
proportionally. Manipulations to one layer are automatically performed
on the other layer, including size, position, moves, PIPs and Keys.
