The Video Scaler is controlled via the Front Panel Buttons and its status determined by the Front Panel LED indicators. The VP-722DS may also be controlled via an external control device connected to its RS-232 port, which will be covered later in this manual.

Shown below are diagrams that indicate the main features of the Front Panels of the Video Scalers. Both models covered by this manual appear similar and their basic operation is identical.

7INPUT SELECTON

The Video Scaler’s Input can be chosen from the Front Panel in two ways:

Automatic Input Select Mode - the Video Scaler determines when a video signal is present at either the Composite Video or S-Video input connector and automatically selects that as the active input. If a signal is present at both inputs, priority is given to the S-Video input. E.g., this feature allows input selection to be done by switching power on or off to the source video devices.

Manual Input Select Mode - allows manual selection of which input video signal is chosen. Repeatedly pressing the button toggles through the available inputs:

a)VP-721DS = Composite Video, S-Video or PC.

b)VP-722DS = Composite Video, S-Video, PC1, PC2. PC3 or PC4.

Note – The PC Inputs are simply pass-through connections to the output and are not scaled.
