VP-725NA – Overview 3
3 Overview
The VP-725NA is a presentation scaler/switcher with multiple signal format sections
and balanced stereo audio. The unit has five independent 4x1 video sections:
composite, s-Video (Y/C), component (RGB), computer graphics, and HDMI, plus a
single USB input. Each section can be operated as an individual switcher contained in
one box. It also scales any of the 21 inputs 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.
In particular, the VP-725NA features include:
• Silicon Optix HQV® Video Processing (Hollywood Quality Video) which
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
• High-quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down, de-interlacing and full up- and down-
scaling of computer graphics video input signals
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).
• HDTV Compatibility and HDCP compliance
The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy-
protected data on the HDMI input to pass to the HDMI output only.
• 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 XL™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology –Ultra stable
picture-in-picture, picture-and-picture, and split screen capability. Any video
source can be inserted into or positioned next to a computer graphics video
source or vice versa with window positioning and sizing controls (see
Section 6.4 )
• Multi-Formats – Auto, NTSC (3.58/4.43), PAL (M/N/60) and SECAM
• Scaled computer & HDTV outputs – A single output signal in three formats
(15-pin HD, RGBHV, and HDMI) simultaneously
