Kramer VP729 9-Input Proscale Presentation Scaler/Switcher

The VP729 is a 9-input scaler/switcher for analogue and digital video, unbalanced stereo, and S/PDIF audio signals. It scales any video signal (composite, S-Video (Y/C), component video (YUV), HDMI, computer graphics (video and jpeg files) up or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output resolution via HDMI or 15-pin HD outputs. It provides glitch-free switching between sources through FTB (fade-thru-black) switching technology.

• Silicon Optix HQV Video Processing – HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing represents the state-of-the-art in video processing technology, with the highest quality de-interlacing, noise reduction, and scaling performance for both standard-definition and high-definition signals.
• K-Storm Scaling Technology - Kramer’s extremely high performance scaling technology. High quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down de-interlacing and full up and down scaling of computer graphics video input signals.
• HDTV Compatible
• HDCP Compliant – The HDCP license agreement allows copy-protected data on the HDMI input to pass only to the HDMI output.
• Fade-Thru-Black Switching - The video fades to black and then the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free switching. The output signal provides constant sync so that the display never glitches.
• K-IIT Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology – Ultra-stable picture-in-picture image insertion capability. Any video source can be inserted into a computer graphics video source or vice versa (or two images can be placed) with positioning and sizing controls.
• Video Inputs – 4 universal video each on 3 RCA (composite, s-video, component), 2 computer graphics video (15-pin HD), 2 HDMI and 1 USB (for jpeg data).
• HDTV Compatible Component Input
• Scaled Video Outputs – HDMI & 15-pin HD.
• HDTV Output Resolutions – 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080i, 1080p.
• Multiple Computer Graphics Output Resolutions – Up to 1920 x 1080 - including a user-defined output resolution with selectable refresh rates.
• Multiple Aspect Ratio Selections.
• Companion AFV (Audio-Follow-Video) for every analogue video input – Supports embedded audio on the 2 HDMI inputs and outputs.
• Audio Inputs – 4 (stereo audio or S/PDIF on 2 RCAs) for each of the 4 universal video inputs, 2 stereo audio (on 3.5mm) for the computer graphics video inputs.
• Audio Outputs – S/PDIF and stereo audio (RCAs). Transcodes stereo or S/PDIF audio to both stereo and S/PDIF audio and embeds audio onto the HDMI output.
