Video scaling, a superior alternative to line doubling and quadrupling, is brought to a new level with Deuce Pro -- a more feature-rich and versatile model than our original, award-winning Deuce. In addition to composite and S-video inputs, Deuce Pro offers component YUV and RGB inputs, It also provides switchable stereo audio inputs, corresponding to each video input. Deuce Pro provides ten different output resolution formats, including two "custom" outputs which are user-defined. Four input aspect ratios are supported for accommodating normal and various wide-screen formats and the user is offered a choice of three output refresh rates.

Deuce Pro offers an enhanced level of video processing and expanded range of features, all designed to generate the highest quality of output. Advanced noise reduction and image sharpness circuitry, exclusive to Deuce Pro, provide independent control over chroma and luminance noise reduction and image sharpness. Deuce Pro even offers support for newer DVD players featuring component outputs, thereby providing scaled output with the fewest possible distortions. And, unique to Deuce Pro, is a front panel button that allows the removal of visible head switching lines found at the bottom of video frames coming from VCR tapes. Like Deuce, Deuce Pro's features include adaptive motion compensation, NTSC and PAL standard decoding and video processing control of composite and S-video inputs. In addition, the unit offers a two-line luminance comb filter, RS-232 remote control, internal power supply, direct push-button operation and can be rackmounted (1 RU) or freestanding.
