7.1 Switching an Input in the Video Group Mode/Scaler Mode
The VP-725xl can operate in two different modes:
• The Video Group mode, in which you can switch an input (from 1 to 4) to
an output in each of the five Video Groups: composite video, s-Video,
component video (RGB or YPbPr), HDMI and UXGA. Note that the
HDMI Group Output is momentarily lost during switch transitions in the
unit
• The Scaler mode, in which you can select one of the 21 input buttons to
switch to the scaled outputs
When the VP-725xl is in use, both modes operate simultaneously, as well as
independently. That is, the Scaler output i s available even when switching in
the Video Group mode, and visa-versa.

The Picture-in-Picture inserter (PIP) is used for the simultaneous display of
video and graphic sources, and lets you display:
• An inserted video source2 PIP over a graphic source3
• An inserted graphic source3 PIP over a video source2
