Introduction

1 Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and

affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video,

audio and presentation professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have

redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our 500-

plus different models now appear in 8 Groups

, which are clearly defined by

function. Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer VP-727!

1.1 About the VP-727

The VP-727

Universal Presentation Matrix Switcher / Scaler is a true multi-

standard video to graphics scaler and seamless switcher with 8 universal inputs

comprised of 5 BNC connectors each of which can accommodate a composite

video, s-Video (Y/C), component video (RGB/YUV), RGBS, or RGBHV

signal. It has dual scalers, one for the preview and the other for the program

output. Dual scalers are required to do "live" seamless transitions from one

source to another. It is ideal for these typical applications:

 Presentation applications that require a preview option

 Projection systems in conference rooms, board rooms, auditoriums, hotels,

and churches

 Presentations requiring seamless switching between inputs, using special

effects, cuts and fades

The package includes these items: VP-727

Universal Presentation Matrix

Switcher / Scaler,power cord

, infra-red remote control transmitter (including

the required battery), null-modem adapter, and this user manual

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

 Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

 Review the contents of this user manual

 Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic steps when connecting a VP-727:

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-727

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 pixel-rates including VGA (640x480),

SVGA (800x600), 832x624, 852x480, XGA (1024x768), 1280x720,

1280x768, SXGA (1280x1024), 1366x768, 1365x1024, 1400x1050, UXGA

(1600x1200), and high definition television HDTV: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i,

and 1080p, as well as a user definable output mode

In particular, the VP-727:

 Features 8 sets of universal INPUT BNC connectors: R/P

, G/Y/CV, B/P

/C,

, and V

. Each set can be programmed to operate as: composite video,

s-Video, component video

, RGB/YUV, RGBS, RGsB, or RGBHV

 Scales the selected sources to DVI, RGBHV and VGA simultaneously. It

switches seamlessly between 2 live sources using the selected special

effects, which include cuts, fades, and wipes

 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). 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

(DVI-D on a DVI-I connector), VGA (an HD15F connector), and RGBHV /

YPbPr (BNC connectors)

 Features 8 PREVIEW input buttons for switching a selected input to the

PREVIEW output and 8 PROGRAM input buttons for switching a selected

input to the PROGRAM output

 Includes two transition modes (accessible via the OSD): the Swap mode and

the Follow mode. When pressing the TAKE button in the Swap mode, the

preview and program inputs switch positions; when pressing in the Follow

mode, the program input follows the preview input

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

 Offers high quality de-interlacing 3:2/2:2 pull down

1 Recommended for advanced users only – non-standard settings may not be recognized by the display device

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 wipe can be from left to right, right to left, up or down, and the corner wipe can start from any corner. The speed of

each transition can be adjusted

4 Accommodates the frame-rate of a converted movie (24 frames per second) to video frequencies (25 frames per second

(PAL); 30 frames per second (NTSC)

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

 Has a text overlay feature for easy insertion of subtitles, karaoke script, and

text banners

 Has built-in Picture-In-Picture inserters for both the PREVIEW and the

PROGRAM outputs, letting you insert a video source into a graphics

background or vice versa. This PIP image may be positioned and sized

anywhere on the screen, or displayed as two images side by side (Split

Screen)

 Saves all settings in non-volatile memory in the unit

 Supports firmware upgrade via RS 232

 Features a sophisticated front panel lockout

 Features a Take button for executing preview to program switching (with

transition effects)

 Has ProcAmp

controls for both outputs

 Has multi-standard video support: PAL, SECAM, and NTSC (3.58/4.43)

 Has a built-in Time Base Corrector that stabilizes video sources with

unstable sync

 Features multiple color space, outputting RGB or YUV (selectable)

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

the video at a chosen line and pixel rate format, providing, for example,

native-resolution video for LCD, DLP and Plasma displays

 Facilitates scaling of graphics resolutions to other resolutions

 Incorporates a unique graphics-scaling engine with image enhancement

algorithms, which are built into the firmware

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

 Comes in a rugged, professional 19" 3U rack-mountable metal enclosure

 Uses a universal 100-240VAC automatic power supply

Control the VP-727 via the:

 Front panel user-friendly menu-driven OSD (see section 9.1)

 High contrast LCD Display (see section 9.2)

 IR remote control transmitter (see section 9.3)

 ETHERNET (see section 9.4)

 CONTROL panel (see section 9.5)

 RS-232 (see section 9.6)

1 See sections 8.5 and 9.1.3.2

2 Processing amplification enables adjustment of different video and audio signal parameters

Your VP-727 Universal Presentation Matrix Switcher / Scaler

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)

 Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances, making sure

not to block the ventilation holes, and positioning your VP-727

away from

moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
