4 VP-747 - Overview
• Dual scalers—for “live” seamless transitions from one source to another—
with two independent outputs: a PREVIEW OUT and a PROGRAM OUT
(see
Section 7.2
The PREVIEW output—including an OSD menu for making adjustments—is for
determining how the scaled output looks before displaying live during a presentation, as
well as for setting the special effects that harmonize the transition when changing
between sources.
Both outputs have separate sets of connectors for DVI/HDMI, VGA (a 15-pin HD
computer graphics video connector), and RGBHV/YPbPr (on BNC connectors)
).
• Eight PREVIEW input buttons for switching a selected input to the PREVIEW
output and eight PROGRAM input buttons for switching a selected input to
the PROGRAM output
• Two transition modes (accessible via the OSD): the Swap mode and the
Follow mode. When pressing the TAKE button in the Swap mode, the
preview and program inputs switch positions; when pressing in the Follow
mode, the program input follows the preview input
• Scaling and zooming (to up to 400% of the original size)
• High quality de-interlacing 3:2/2:2 pull down
• The frame-rate of a converted movie (24 frames per second) to video
frequencies (25 frames per second (PAL); 30 frames per second (NTSC)
• K-IIT XL™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology with ultra stable
picture-in-picture, picture-and-picture, and split screen capability for both the
PREVIEW and the PROGRAM outputs. 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
• Saving of all settings in non-volatile memory in the unit
• Support for firmware upgrade via USB
• A sophisticated front panel lockout (see Section 7.5
• A Take button for executing preview to program switching (with transition
effects, which include cuts, fades, and wipes The direction of the wipe may
be selected by the user. The speed of each transition can be adjusted)
)
• ProcAmp controls for both outputs (processing amplification enables
adjustment of different video and audio signal parameters)
• Multi-standard video support: PAL, SECAM, and NTSC (3.58/4.43)
