Table 1 describes the unique characteristics of each scaler:

Table 1: VP-413, VP-414, VP-415 and VP-416 Scalers

Model	Inputs	Output	Output Connector	Output Resolution	Output Format
VP-413		VGA	HD15 Connector	VGA-WXGA1	RGBHV
VP-414	CV or Y/C	VGA / HD	HD15 Connector	VGA-WXGA1 / HD2	RGBHV / YPbPr3
VP-414	CV or Y/C	VGA / HD		VGA-WXGA1 / HD2	RGBHV / YPbPr3
VP-415		VGA/DVI	DVI-I Connector	VGA-WXGA1	RGBHV
VP-416		VGA / DVI / HD	DVI-I Connector	VGA-WXGA1 / HD2	RGBHV / YPbPr3
VP-416		VGA / DVI / HD		VGA-WXGA1 / HD2	RGBHV / YPbPr3

Achieving the best performance means:

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and positioning your VP-413/VP-414/VP-415/VP-416away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
