Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the iScan VP20 Video Processor powered by ABT. This product delivers
a level of quality among the very highest available today.
We are especially pleased to bring you ABT’s new Precision Video Scaling II. This technology
enables precision upconversion of standard and high denition (480i/p, 576i/p, 720p or 1080i)
video sources and content to the native or optimum resolution of your display, delivering
best-in-class front-of-screen performance. Available output resolutions span from VGA up to
1080p, including the standard HDTV resolutions of 720p and 1080i.
The iScan VP20 can also be upgraded with the Precision Deinterlacing Card which includes ABT’s
new Precision Deinterlacing technology. With this upgrade, the iScan VP20 has reference-quality
deinterlacing for SD video, lm and mixed-mode content. This card is a user/dealer-installable
upgrade and it is compatible with both the iScan VP20 and the iScan VP30.
In addition to our own video scaling technology and available deinterlacing technology, the iScan
VP20 also offers a host of other innovative features, including:
• 3 HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) inputs and 1 HDMI output
• Flexible Digital and Analog Audio Switching
• Precision Audio/Video Time-Delay Synchronization
• Timebase Correction
• Framerate Conversion (PAL <—> NTSC)
• Input and Output Aspect Ratio Controls
• Flexible Zoom and Pan Controls
This Owner’s Manual can help you set up your new iScan VP20, and give you the information
required to match it to your display. It can also show you how to connect it to and use it with the
other components in your system.
