VP 724 DS ProScale PHD8 Seamless Switcher
The Kramer VP-724DS are true multi-standard video to RGBHV scalers that convert video, s-Video, component video (SDTV and HDTV), VGA-through-UXGA, and DVI-D signals to ten user-selectable pixel rates: VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), XGA (1024x768), SXGA (1280x1024), UXGA (1600X1200), 1024x852, 1024x1024, 1366x768, 1365x1024 and 1280x720. The VP-723DS has three additional output modes: 480p, 720p and 1080i in component format with tri-level sync. The machines also act as 7-input Seamless Presentation switchers. Both machines digitally reprocess the signal to correct mastering errors, and regenerate the video at a higher line and pixel rate format, providing native-resolution video for LCD, DLP and Plasma displays. Both models allow scaling of any graphics resolution to any other resolution (scaling for example, a VGA input to an UXGA output, or an SXGA input to an SVGA output, etc). The machines incorporate a unique graphics-scaling engine with image enhancement algorithms, which are built into the firmware. The Kramer VP-724DS are specifically designed to improve video quality by reducing Chroma noise. On top of that, they include a built in Picture-in-Picture inserter, allowing the insertion of any video source into a graphics background and vice versa, as well as allowing the inserted image to be sized and positioned anywhere on the screen. In addition, the PIP can display a Split-Screen (2 images side by side). Audio channels are switched in audio-follow-video mode. The unit can be controlled via front panel touch keys, Infra Red remote control, and RS-232. It features a user-friendly on-screen display for making the adjustments.The VP-724DS incorporate a full scale ProcAmp for video and audio correction and enhancement, and offers 3:2/2:2 pull down. It is housed in a 19" 1U, rack-mountable metal enclosure and uses a universal 100-240VAC automatic power supply.
