Kramer VP-729
9-Input Proscale™ Presentation Scaler/Switcher

Kramer's VP-729 is a 9-input scaler/switcher for analog and digital video, unbalanced stereo and S/PDIF audio signals.  It scales any composite, s-Video (Y/C), component video (YUV), HDMI or computer graphics video signal and jpeg files via USB up or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output resolution.  It provides glitch-free switching between sources through FTB™ (Fade-thru-Black) switching technology.

Features:

• Silicon Optix HQV® (Hollywood Quality Video) processing features 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.
• 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: 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.
• 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 2 images can be placed) with positioning and sizing controls.
• Video Inputs: 4 universal video (composite/s-Video/component), 2 computer graphics video (15-pin HD), 2 HDMI and 1 USB (for jpeg data).
