3 Overview

The VP-719xl/VP-720xl/VP-723xl /VP-724xl is a Presentation Switcher / Scaler designed for a wide variety of presentation and multimedia applications. It is a true multi-standard video to RGBHV (pixel) scaler and a seamless presentation switcher. It converts video, s-Video, component video, VGA-through-UXGA and DVI signals to a range of user-selectable VESA and HDTV pixel rates, as well as some other special resolutions. Using the Presentation Switcher / Scaler, you can select any one of the inputs and scale that input to the output at the set resolution.

The Presentation Switchers / Scalers support the following user-selectable pixel rates:

	VGA (640x480)		1024x1024i		480p1
	SVGA (800x600)		1366x768		720p1
	XGA (1024x768)		1365x1024		1080i1
	SXGA (1280x1024)		1280x720		1400x1050
	UXGA (1600x1200)		720x483		1280x768*2
	852x1024i		852x480		User Define3

Each Presentation Switcher / Scaler:

Digitally reprocesses the signal to correct mastering errors, and regenerates the video at a higher line and pixel rate format, providing native-resolution video for LCD, DLP and Plasma displays

Up- and down-scales any graphics resolution to any other resolution4

Incorporates a unique graphics-scaling engine with image enhancement algorithms, which are built into the firmware

Is specifically designed to improve video quality by reducing chroma noise

Scales and zooms (to up to 400% of the original size)

Includes a built-in power amplifier of 2x5Watt RMS, ample to fill a presentation room. Audio volume can be easily and rapidly controlled via the front panel buttons

1 Available only on the VP-723xl and VP-724xl machines

2 This is not a standard VESA resolution and its parameters vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therfore, use this resolution with caution. It is also possible to use the parameters of this resolution in combination with the User Defined resolution. There is also an RS-232 command for this resolution

3 Recommended for advanced users only – non-standard settings may not be recognized by the display device 4 For example, scaling a VGA input to an UXGA output, or an SXGA input to an SVGA output
