The VP-747 Universal Presentation Matrix Switcher / Scaler is a true
multi-standard video to graphics scaler and presentation switcher for a wide
variety of presentation and multimedia applications. It consists of a very high
quality scaler with many u ser-selectable graphics or HDTV output resol utions,
as well as a user definable output mode 1
The VP-727A Audio Switcher and VP-727A-BA Balanced Audio Switcher
are audio companion switchers for the VP-747, and either can operate in
conjunction with it and the VP-727T Presentation Switcher Control Panel.
.
In particular, the VP-747:
• Features Silicon Optix HQV® Video Processing (Hollywood Quality
Video) which represents the state-of-the-art in video processing
technology, with the highest qua l i ty de-interlacing, noise reducti o n, and
scaling performance for both standard-definition and high-definition
signals
• Features eight sets of universal INPUT BNC connecto r s: R/PR, G/Y/CV,
B/PB/C, HS/CS, and VS. Each set can be programmed to operate as:
composite video, s-Video, component video2
• Includes two DVI / HDMI
, RGsB/YUV, RGBS, or
RGBHV
3 inputs (for input 1 and input 2) that support up to
1.65 / 2.25Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel4
• Is HDTV Compatible and HDCP compliant
5
• Scales the selected sources to DVI / HDMI, RGBHV (Y, Pb, Pr) and
VGA outputs simultaneously
• Has dual scalers—for “live” seamless transitions from one source to
another—with two independent outputs: a PREVIEW OUT and a
PROGRAM OUT (see Section 8.2
1 Recommended for advanced users only – non-standard settings may not be recognized by the display device
). The PREVIEW output—including an
OSD menu for making adjustment s—is for determining how the scaled
output will look before displaying live during a pre sentation, as well as for
setting the special effects that h armonize the transition when c hanging
between sources. Both outputs have separate sets of connectors for DVI /
HDMI, VGA (a 15-pin HD computer graphics video connector), and
RGBHV / YPbPr (on BNC connectors)
2 Sometimes called YUV, or Y, B-Y, R-Y, or Y, Pb, Pr. The component input type (HDTV or YCbCr) may be set as HD or SD
3 The HDMI connector connects to a DVD source via the Kramer ADC DM/HF adapter
4 Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions
5 The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy-protected data on the HDMI input to pass
only to the HDMI output
