computer graphics and HDTV signals to resolutions up to WUXGA and

1080p. The following output resolutions are supported:

PC: VGA, SVGA, XGA, 1280x800, SXGA, UXGA, WXGA, SXGA+,

WXGA+, WSXGA, WUXGA, COMPONENT: 480p, 576p, 720p

@50/60Hz, 1080i @50/60Hz, 1080p @50/60Hz.

The VP-420/VP-421 PC/HD Scaler also features:

•An On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment, accessible

via the front-panel buttons

•A built-in ProcAmp for convenient signal adjustment

•A non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used

•Quick auto-adjust

•Freeze button

•RGBHV or component video input and/or output

The machine is fed from an external 5V DC source, making it suitable for

field operation.

Operate your VP-420/VP-421 directly via the front panel push buttons and

the on-screen display (OSD).

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VP-420/VP-421 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

to avoid interference,

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

levels (often associated with low quality cables)
