Kramer VP-729 9-input ProScale Presentation Scaler / Switcher
The Kramer VP-729 is a 9-input scaler/switcher for analog and digital video, unbalanced stereo, and S/PDIF audio signals. It scales any video signal (composite, s-Video (Y/C), component video (YUV), HDMI, computer graphics video and jpeg files) up or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output resolution via HDMI or 15-pin HD outputs. It provides glitch-free switching between sources through FTB (fade-thru-black) switching technology.
- Silicon Optix HQV Video Processing - HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing 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.
- 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.
- HDTV Compatible
- HDCP Compliant - The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy-protected data on the HDMI input to pass only to the HDMI output.
- Fade-Thru-Black (FTB) Switching - The video fades to black and then the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free 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 two images can be placed) with positioning and sizing controls.
