VP-729 – Overview 3
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. It also provides glitch-free switching between sources through FTB™
(fade-thru-black) switching technology, in which 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. 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:

in-picture, picture-and-picture, and split screen capability. Any video source
