The Magellan MDC-MK1 is a PC and Macintosh compatible computer to video down converter.
The MDC-MK1 automatically scales the incoming computer image to fit the screen and outputs it as a Composite Video and S-Video signal that is NTSC/PAL switchable. With superior digital processing and filtering, the MDC-MK1 accepts any computer signal from 640 x 480 (VGA) up to 1024 x 768 (XGA).
Designed for ease of operation the MDC-MK1 provides front panel controls for the Overscan/Underscan, Freeze, and Menu selections. The menu selection controls work with the on-screen display to provide complete control of the set-up and operation of the down converter. It can also be controlled by the included handheld IR Remote or via RS-232 control. The IR Remote also emulates mouse control for the PCs. The non-volatile memory retains all of the settings for each of the computer resolutions input into the MDC-MK1.
The MDC-MK1 provides a computer monitor loop-thru to allow the use of a local monitor and the composite and S-Video outputs are active at the same time. The outputs of the Magellan MDC-MK1 can also be fed to one of FSR's Distribution Amplifiers or Pocket Navigators to distribute and control the converted signal. The convenient 1/2 rack, 1 rack unit high, down converter comes complete with IR Remote, Rack Mount, and AC Adapter.
