Vista Spyder System 300 Series Video Processor Specifications Spyder is a compact versatile video processing product with superb capabilities to blend, window, and scale a very wide array of video signals with unparallel quality and ease. The compact modular design allows Spyder to be used to display a virtually endless variety of windows through a single output, or stretch a single input across multiple displays to create a seamless widescreen image, and do just about anything in-between. Spyder consists of 2 model families the 200 and 300 series, each family has multiple configurations available to meet the most demanding environment and all models have expansion ability (optional) to provide more inputs/windows or more output/displays or both. Providing a fast easy solution to expand a system to meet changing requirements or specifications. Controller Specifications: Capable of being controlled in one of the following ways: 1. Spyder control suite PC based software capable of running on Windows XP and Vista Operating Systems. 2. Vista Systems hardware controllers. 3. 3rd party controller DNF Controls ST420-VSS Shotbox that meets the following specifications: a) Power: 90 VAC to 265 VAC adapter supplied with IEC Connector AULT Model number SW300. +5v at 3.5A, +12v at 2A, -12v at 0.8A. b) Size: (H x W x D) 1.75" (front), 3.5" (rear) x 11.5" x 6.5". c) Weight: Under 4 LBS. d) Rear Panel Connectors: Out (DB9F) Power (DB9M).

Multiple client interfaces can be on-line simultaneously. 26. Open API for third party control via IP or serial. 27. Universal inputs. This means the client does not have to be specific to the amount of video or high resolution computer layers. The only requirement is the actual amount of layers required that can be any of the supported formats or resolutions. 28. User defined constant frame rate. The Spyder is a hardware solution not a software solution, so the pixel refresh maintains a constant rate. The Spyder is not at the mercy of PCI bus speeds like a software solution. This ensures real time data being refreshed in real time. 29. The use of commodity display devices. 30. The ability to use rotated displays using existing DX4 cards. 31.
