Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VP-729 is a 9-input Proscale™ Presentation Switcher / Scaler

with unbalanced stereo and digital S/PDIF audio.

The VP-729 scales any composite, s-Video (Y/C), component video (YUV),

HDMI or computer graphics video signal, as well as jpeg files (via USB) up

or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output resolution and provides

glitch-free switching between sources through FTB™ (fade-thru-black)

switching technology. The output signal is available simultaneously on a

15-pin HD computer graphics video (UXGA) connector and on an HDMI

connector.

The VP-729 features include:

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

Fade-Thru-Black (FTB™) Switching - the video fades to black and then the

new input fades from black for glitch-free and smooth switching. The output

signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches

K-IIT XL™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology - ultra stable

picture-in-picture, picture-and-picture, and split screen capability. Any video

source can be inserted into or positioned next to a computer graphics video

source or vice versa with window positioning and sizing controls

Four user definable (universal) video inputs (each can be set as composite

video, s-Video (Y/C) or component video), two computer graphics video inputs,

two HDMI inputs and 1 USB input (for reading JPEG picture files

)

HDTV compatible component input

HDTV output resolutions - 480p, 576p, 720p 1080i, and 1080p

Scaled video outputs - HDMI and computer graphics video

HDMI supports up to 2.25Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel

Multiple computer graphics output resolutions - including a user-defined output

resolution with selectable refresh rates

Multiple aspect ratio selections

Companion AFV (audio-follow-video) for every analog video input - supports

embedded audio on the two HDMI inputs and output

Built-in noise reduction and picture enhancement features

1 JPEG files are recognized up to 2048x1536

2 Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

Audio inputs - four (stereo audio or S/PDIF on two RCA connectors) for each

of the four universal video inputs; two stereo audio (on 3.5mm connectors) for

the two computer graphics video inputs; and embedded audio on the HDMI

inputs

Audio outputs - S/PDIF and stereo audio (RCA connectors). Transcodes stereo

or S/PDIF audio to both stereo and S/PDIF audio and embeds audio onto the

HDMI output

Built-in Time Base Corrector - stabilizes video sources with unstable sync

Built-in video Proc-Amp - color, hue, sharpness, contrast, and brightness are set

individually for each input

A BLANK button, a FREEZE button, a RESET TO XGA/720P button (to

hardware-reset the output resolution); and a PANEL LOCK button

Built-in audio Proc-Amp - with bass, treble, balance and loudness control, as

well as audio delay

Firmware upgrade support

via the USB port

A slideshow feature, letting you run a slideshow via the USB port

An OSD (On-Screen Display) – for making adjustments – that can be located

anywhere on the screen

In addition, the VP-729:

Includes non-volatile memory that retains the last settings, after switching the

power off and then on again

Digitally reprocesses the signal to correct mastering errors, and regenerates the

video at a higher line and pixel rate format, providing native-resolution video for

LCD, DLP and plasma displays

Is specifically designed to improve video quality by reducing chroma noise

Scales and zooms (to up to 400% of the original size)

Can provide non-linear scaling for 4:3, 16:9 transformation

Control your VP-729 directly via the front panel push buttons, or:

By RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other

serial controller

Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter (with on-screen menus)

Via the Ethernet

The VP-729

is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”

included, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.

1 The front panel blank, freeze and lock buttons can be programmed via the OSD menu (see Table 15)

Overview

3.1 About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital

audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema

industry. It delivers the maximum high-definition image and sound quality in use

today. Note that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter

and an HDCP

Licensee

In particular, HDMI

Provides a simple

interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top

box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital flat LCD

/ plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy

cable

Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel digital

audio

on a single cable

Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,

with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and

requirements

Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video quality

via a single cable

, and user-friendly connector

Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a DVD

player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as automatic

configuration and one-button play

Has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats (720p, 1080i,

and 1080p/60), standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL, as well as

480p and 576p

1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-

to-analog conversions

3 See http://www.digital-cp.com/list/

4 HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI

5 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables

currently used in A/V systems is reduced

6 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m

7 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to

support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats

8 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a

simple, cost-effective manner

3.2 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise-levels

(often associated with low quality cables)

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your

Kramer VP-729 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
