Kramer Electronics VP-719DS user manual Addendum Scalers Group

Addendum: Scalers Group

Additional Features of the Scaler Products Group according to the Master-Firmware Ver-2.33 Release.

1.This version requires Slave Firmware version 1.06 or higher. The version can be seen in the INFO section of the on-screen menu. Contact your Kramer service center if you have any questions.

2.Improved functionality lets you select the PIP source via the RS-232 command. Sending an inappropriate PIP source command (request video PIP source while the main video input is selected; or the same for graphic sources) will not cause the unit to operate erroneously. In such a case, the unit will ignore the command and return the message: “ineffective source”. This option does not apply to the VP-719DS.

3.Added PIP position(s) commands in the RS-232 protocol. These commands let you input the absolute value (from 0 to 36) of the horizontal and vertical positions of the PIP. For details, see the protocol table. This option does not apply to the VP-719DS.

4.Added new output resolution 1280x768. This resolution is marked with an asterisk “*” to attract your attention to the fact that this is not a standard VESA resolution and its parameters vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, this resolution must be used with caution. It is also possible to use the parameters of this resolution in combination with the User Defined resolution (see below). There is also an RS-232 command for this resolution. For details, see the protocol table.

5.Added 50 Hz output refresh rate. This is for special cases only. Many of the modern screens and projectors have difficulties working with such a low frequency.

6.In the OSD under UTILITIES>ADVANCED there is new item: “Input Button”. This item defines an action after repeatedly pressing the same input selection button. This item has following options:

￿￿FREEZE/BLANK – this is the current situation (quoting from the user manual: Press again (when the LED illuminates) to freeze the image; the LED flashes. Press once again (when the LED flashes), to display a blank screen; the LED flashes more slowly)). This remains the factory default

￿￿FREEZE – pressing the button toggles between LIVE and FREEZE

￿￿BLANK – pressing the button toggles between LIVE and BLANK

￿￿IGNORE – after selecting the source, the button is ignored

The settings also apply to the input buttons on the IR control.

7.Under the Utility>PIP Setting there is new item: “PIP Frame”. This feature allows the enable/disable yellow frame around the PIP through the OSD or the new RS-232 command: L 50AF. The RS-232 command allows PIP frame enable/disable while the PIP is activated. However, before doing it via the OSD you must switch the PIP OFF. While the frame is activated, pressing the UP and DOWN buttons on the front panel and on the IR remote control would toggle through the PIP size settings. This option does not apply to the VP-719DS.
