Barco's ScreenPRO-II HD uses four image layers to produce sophisticated effects, including transitioning backgrounds, transitioning picture-in-picture windows, wipes, dissolves and keys. An internal 8x2 analog video router provides universal analog sources to each scaler channel. In addition, up to two SD/HD SDI inputs are available for the scaled channels. Barco's ScreenPRO-II features a low video processing delay of three input fields maximum.
