Matrox Adds New Features to Convert DVI Plus HD-SDI Scan Converter

Matrox Convert DVI release 4.0 for PC and 1.0.1 for Mac are now available for you to download. They provide automatic input detection, graphic overlay, and snap-to-window support to All Users.

New features make Matrox Convert DVI Plus even simpler and more convenient to use. Automatic input detection is particularly important for A/V integrators who might regularly deal with a variety of input devices in the course of their work. Now any computer running at any resolution can be connected at the input, and Matrox Convert DVI will automatically output at the desired, preprogrammed resolution.

The graphic overlay feature lets users add a custom logo or graphic to Convert DVI's output. For example, any PNG or TGA file can be displayed over a YouTube video, a Skype conversation, or a Google Earth map. Snap-to-window support enables users to automatically position the region-of-interest to output any window or element within an application or website, such as a YouTube video.

Matrox ConvertUtils version 4.0 provides the following new features on the PC:
• A new input detection feature for stand-alone mode that allows Convert DVI Plus to automatically detect the output resolution of the DVI device connected to its input, and outputs the entire content as either anamorphic, letterbox, or pillarbox video. This feature is especially useful if you regularly deal with a variety of input devices with different resolutions in the course of your work.
• A new graphic overlay feature that lets you add a PNG or TGA graphic to the output canvas, which will appear on all outputs. This feature is ideal for logo overlay. (Convert DVI Plus only)
