Crestron chose Infocomm 2002 to unveil the remarkable new DVP4, a digital video processor, touch-panel interface and stand-alone 2-Series control processor that can display four real-time video/computer windows simultaneously on a single high-resolution monitor, projector or plasma screen. Ideal for presentations, distance learning and command and control centres, the multi-purpose DVP4 combines a unique set of features to deliver a complete presentation solution. With the 257 MIPS, 32-bit Motorola ColdFire processor of the 2-Series control engine at its core, the DVP4 can be used as a stand-alone master control system.

Also a seamless matrix switch for the ultimate in professional switching, the DVP4 features eight BNC inputs that allow any combination of composite NTSC, PAL or S-Video (Y/C) sources to be routed to the unit simultaneously. Each video window can be scaled and positioned in a virtually unlimited configuration, and graphics can be incorporated in the foreground or background in combination with the windows.

The DVP4 also provides digital transition effects, including fades, reveals and pans, which can be applied to video windows with software definable timing for each event. Built-in alpha channel support allows buttons, graphics and text to be placed over the video windows in a translucent format. The DVP4 supports four analogue RGB computer sources up to 1600 x 1200 resolution, or four digital visual interface (DVI) digital computer sources up to 1280 x 1024 resolution. A DVI-I output provides the option of running analogue RGB or DVI digital video to the chosen display at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 for analogue RGB.

The touch-panel interface port on the DVP4 supports Smart Matisse, Elo and 3M touch sensitive overlays and its ‘Touch-the-PC’ ports allow the user to touch through the computer window displayed onscreen and control any Windows-based PC. The DVP4's RS-232 ports are fully programmable for external device control and the 10/100 Ethernet port with built-in web server provides the ultimate in e-Control help desk functions and high-speed communications.
