3 Overview

The VP-725NAis a presentation scaler/switcher with multiple signal format sections and balanced stereo audio. The unit has five independent 4x1 video sections: composite, s-Video (Y/C), component (RGB), computer graphics, and HDMI, plus a single USB input. Each section can be operated as an individual switcher contained in one box. It also scales any of the 21 inputs up or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output resolution and provides glitch-free switching between sources through FTB™ (fade-thru-black) switching technology.

In particular, the VP-725NAfeatures include:

Silicon Optix HQV® Video Processing (Hollywood Quality Video) which represents the state-of-the-art in video processing technology, with the highest quality de-interlacing, noise reduction, and scaling performance for both standard-definition and high-definition signals

High-quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down, de-interlacing and full up- and down- scaling of computer graphics video input signals

Accommodates the frame-rate of a converted movie (24 frames per second) to video frequencies (25 frames per second (PAL); 30 frames per second (NTSC).

HDTV Compatibility and HDCP compliance

The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy- protected data on the HDMI input to pass to the HDMI output only.

Fade-Thru-Black (FTB™) Switching – The video fades to black and then the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free switching. The output signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches

K-IIT XL™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology –Ultra stable picture-in-picture, picture-and-picture, and split screen capability. Any video source can be inserted into or positioned next to a computer graphics video source or vice versa with window positioning and sizing controls (see Section 6.4)

Multi-Formats – Auto, NTSC (3.58/4.43), PAL (M/N/60) and SECAM

Scaled computer & HDTV outputs – A single output signal in three formats (15-pin HD, RGBHV, and HDMI) simultaneously

HDTV output resolutions – 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
