Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic steps when connecting a VP-747:

Overview

3 Overview

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 user-selectable graphics or HDTV output resolutions,

as well as a user definable output mode1

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 quality de-interlacing, noise reduction, and

scaling performance for both standard-definition and high-definition

signals

•Features eight sets of universal INPUT BNC connectors: 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 3inputs (for input 1 and input 2) that support up to

1.65 / 2.25Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel4

•Is HDTV Compatible and HDCP compliant

•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 adjustments—is for determining how the scaled

output will look before displaying live during a presentation, as well as for

setting the special effects that harmonize the transition when changing

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

(720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60), standard definition formats such as NTSC or

PAL, as well as 480p and 576p.

Achieving the best performance means:

•Connecting 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)
