3 Overview

The Kramer VP-770is a high quality presentation switcher and scaler. It accepts one of eight inputs: a component video on RCA connectors, a DisplayPort (DP) signal on a DisplayPort connector, two computer graphics signals on 15-pin HD connectors, two composite video signals on RCA connectors, and two HDMI signals on HDMI connectors. It scales the video, embeds the audio, and simultaneously outputs the signal to an HDMI output, to a computer graphics output and to a DGKat TP output, together with a digital audio output and an unbalanced stereo audio output.

COMPONENT VIDEO is also known as Y, Pb, Pr, or Y, Cb, Cr or YUV; compatible with both SD and HD component

The VP-770Presentation Switcher / Scaler features:

PixPerfectScaling Technology – Kramer’s precision pixel mapping and high quality scaling technology. High-quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down de- interlacing and full up and down scaling of all video input signals

State-of-the-art video processing technology, with the highest quality de- interlacing, noise reduction, and scaling performance for both standard- definition and high-definition signals

K-IIT XL™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology - Ultra stable picture−in−picture, picture−and−picture and split screen capability, or fully customizable windows’ size and position control: any source can be inserted into or positioned next to any other source and resized as desired

Ultra Fast Fade-Thru-Black (FTB™) Switching - Video switching transitions are clean and ultra-fast. The video fades to black and the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free switching. The output signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches

An emergency alert system that can have a national or campus-wide notification immediately displayed when an emergency situation develops, by means of automatic text overlaying, either via a crawler or a full screen cover up, as well as an optional audio alert

Port tunneling, bidirectional RS-232 interface – simple control commands and data can flow in both directions from a controller to the VP-770via the Ethernet, allowing status requests and control of the destination unit
