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:

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

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™ 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 2 images can be placed side-

by-side) with 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 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)

2 JPEG files in EXIF format are recognized, up to 1920x1200

3 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 2 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

Supports firmware upgrade

via the USB port

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

anywhere on the screen, and can be doubled in size.

For example, the OSD can be used to deactivate the source prompt, choose the

color of the blank screen, and choose from three seamless switching image

transition speeds

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 infra-red 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 cable8, 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

licensing LLC

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
