Understanding the VP-747
7.4 Connecting the VP-747 via the ETHERNET port
To connect the VP-747via the ETHERNET port, do the following:
Connect the ETHERNET port of the VP-747to the LAN port of your PC, via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
If connecting the ETHERNET port of the VP-747to the LAN port on a network hub or network router, use a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors.
8 Understanding the VP-747
This section describes the:
•UNIVERSAL inputs, see Section 8.1
•PREVIEW/PROGRAM outputs, see Section 8.2
•Switching/Scaling of an input, see Section 8.3
•PIP feature, see Section 8.4
•Panel Lock, see Section 8.5
8.1Understanding the UNIVERSAL Inputs
The VP-747has eight sets of inputs1; each set can be programmed to operate as composite video, s-Video, component video, RGB/YUV, RGBS, RGsB, or RGBHV. INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 can also accept DVI/HDMI inputs.
The VP-747is a universal presentation matrix switcher / scaler: you choose what type of source to connect to each input. You can connect different video types or the same or similar video types. See the examples in Figure 3 and Figure 4 in Section 6.
8.2 Understanding the PREVIEW/PROGRAM Outputs
The VP-747has two outputs: a PREVIEW output, and a PROGRAM output. Each of these outputs functions independently and has DVI / HDMI connectors and VGA connectors, as well as sets of five BNC connectors2: R/PR, G/Y, B/PB, HS, and VS.
The HDMI signal is usually HDCP protected. It is therefore recommended to use a display that is HDCP compliant, otherwise the HDMI output will not appear on the screen
