Getting Started 2.
Overview 3 Overview The VP-747 Universal Presentation Matrix Switcher / Scaler is a true multi-standard video to graphics scaler and presentation switcher for a wide variety of presentation and multimedia applications. It consists of a very high quality scaler with many user-selectable graphics or HDTV output resolutions, as well as a user definable output mode 1.
Overview • Features 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 • Includes two transition modes (accessible via the OSD): the Swap mode and the Follow mode.
Overview • Is specifically designed to improve video quality by reducing chroma and temporal noise • Reduces digital artifacts such as mosquito and block noise • Comes in a rugged, professional 19" 3U rack-mountable metal enclosure • Uses a universal 100-240VAC automatic power supply, and rear panel power switch Control the VP-747 via the: • Front panel and a user-friendly menu-driven OSD (see Section 9.1) • High contrast LCD Display (see Section 9.2) • IR remote control transmitter (see Section 9.
Your VP-747 Universal Presentation Matrix Switcher / Scaler • Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video quality via a single cable 1, and user-friendly connector • Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) • Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as automatic configuration and one-button play HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats (

Installing on a Rack 5 Installing on a Rack This section describes what to do before installing in a rack and how to rack mount.
Connecting the VP-747 6 Connecting the VP-747 The VP-747 is a universal presentation matrix switcher / scaler that lets you choose what sources to connect to the inputs. For example, you can connect just five sources: an RGBHV source, two DVI / HDMI sources, an HDTV source and an RGBS source (as the example in Figure 3 shows). To connect 1 the VP-747 as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the following: 1.
Connecting the VP-747 Figure 3: Connecting the VP-747 13
Connecting the VP-747 6.1 Connecting Different Source Types As the VP-747 is universal, you can connect any type (format) of video to the inputs. Figure 4 and Table 3 show an example of how to connect eight sources to the rear panel of the VP-747: an RGBHV source, an HDMI source, a CV source, a Y/C source, a component video source, an HDTV source, an RGBCs source and an RGB source.
Connecting the VP-747 6.
Connecting the VP-747 Control Ports 7 Connecting the VP-747 Control Ports This section describes how to connect the VP-747 control ports, that is, the: • RS-232 port, see Section 7.1 • TO AUDIO UNIT port, see Section 7.2 • TO CONTROLLER port, see Section 7.3 • ETHERNET port, see Section 7.4 7.1 Connecting a PC (via RS-232) You can connect a PC (or other controller) to the VP-747 via the RS-232 port for remote control.
Connecting the VP-747 Control Ports 7.2 Connecting the AUDIO CONTROL Port The Kramer VP-727A Audio Switcher operates in conjunction with the VP-747. When connected, the audio switcher signals follow the video signals 1.
Connecting the VP-747 Control Ports 7.
Understanding the VP-747 7.4 Connecting the VP-747 via the ETHERNET port To connect the VP-747 via the ETHERNET port, do the following: Connect the ETHERNET port of the VP-747 to the LAN port of your PC, via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors. If connecting the ETHERNET port of the VP-747 to the LAN port on a network hub or network router, use a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors. 8 Understanding the VP-747 This section describes the: • UNIVERSAL inputs, see Section 8.
Understanding the VP-747 Using the PREVIEW output, you can: • See how the scaled output will look before displaying live during a presentation.
Understanding the VP-747 Figure 9: Example showing the use of the PREVIEW and PROGRAM Output 21
Understanding the VP-747 8.2.1 The Transition from Preview to Program The transition can occur in one of two modes 1: • The Swap 2 mode (shown in Figure 9), in which the PREVIEW input buttons and the PROGRAM input buttons switch places after pressing the TAKE button. For example, in Figure 9 the PROGRAM input button 3 would switch to 2 and the PREVIEW input button 2 would switch to 3, so the RGBS source is displayed on the PROGRAM screen and the Component source is displayed on the PREVIEW screen.
Understanding the VP-747 8.4 Understanding the PIP Button Feature The Picture-in-Picture inserter (PIP) is used for the simultaneous display of video and graphic sources 1, and lets you display an inserted video PIP source over a graphic source2, or an inserted graphic PIP source over a video source 3, compliant to Table 4. Both the Preview and Program outputs can support the PIP function.
Understanding the VP-747 8.5 Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel To prevent changing the settings accidentally or tampering with the unit via the front panel buttons, lock your VP-747. Unlocking releases the protection mechanism. When the front panel is locked, control is still available via RS-232, the ETHERNET, and/or the CONTROL connector.
Operating the VP-747 9 Operating the VP-747 You can operate the VP-747 via the: • OSD Menu, see Section 9.1 • LCD Display, see Section 9.2 • Infrared Remote Control Transmitter, see Section 9.3 • ETHERNET/RS-232, see Section 9.4 9.1 Operating via the OSD MENU Screen The OSD superimposes a menu on the Preview screen from which you can control your VP-747.
