Digital Systems announces good news for video gamers and their loved ones. The
company’s award-winning KD-XB “X-BLASTER“
video adapter is able to easily and economically convert the X-Boxâ„¢ Component
digital video signal to VGA for display on standard multimedia monitors with
VGA (RGBHV) input. The “X-BLASTER” adapter also converts digital signals
from PlayStation2â„¢ and other popular video games to VGA. The KD-XB was

with an “Innovations 2002″ award, selected by a panel of industry

UPGRADE Gaming Display With Higher Resolution (1280 x 720) Than HDTV
Video buffs using “X-BLASTER” to display X-Box on standard multimedia
monitors will achieve superb 1280×720 graphic resolutions simply not possible
when linking the X-Box directly to the HDTV display. Since the “X-BLASTER”
KD-XB transcoder can drive two high-resolution monitors with just one signal,
users don’t have to choose. They can upgrade their configuration to split the
Component (YPrPb) Signal from X-Box and drive both the HDTV monitor AND the
standard multimedia monitor of their PC.

“X-BLASTER” Component-to-VGA Transcoders Gives Video Gamers Low-Cost Option, and New Freedom to Play XBox on Standard Multimedia VGA monitors.

World’s Smallest!
Key Digital’s “X-BLASTER” series of Component-to-VGA video adapters
are the world’s smallest transcoders, fitting easily into any tight space or
wiring system. The “X-BLASTER” X-Box adapter is capable of converting
Component (YPrPb) to VGA (RGBHV) signals (480P, 1080i/540P, and 720P) for display
on VGA-ready HDTV monitors. Gamers will love this easy, and economical upgrade!

Auto-Tracking Feature Makes Set-Up Child’s Play
The “X-BLASTER” X-Box Adapter boasts a robust platform capable of
120 MHz video bandwidth and a built-in “AutoTracker” with “Easy”
mode that automatically ’senses’ the right configuration for the X-Box (Component
for HDTV monitor hook-up and VGA conversion for PC monitor) so gamers don’t
have to reconfigure each line for the right video output. Since the unit automatically
knows whether the signal is in the 480P, 720P, or 1080i/540P format, there’s
never any buttons to push. Selecting the right HDTV format is as easy as pressing
“Play.”

Each “X-BLASTER” X-Box adapter comes with automatic horizontal centering
adjustment, Positive or Negative Sync, a wall plug power supply and a 2-year
warranty on parts and labor.
