The Kramer VP-410 Video-Audio to HDMI Scaler is a high quality, composite

video and audio to HDMI scaler. It scales the video, embeds the audio, and

transmits the signal on the HDMI output.

The VP-410 Video-Audio to HDMI Scaler features:

• HDTV compatibility where the resolution can be scaled to 480p, 576p,

720p, 1080i or 1080p via a front panel selector button

• An unbalanced analog stereo audio input for the composite source

• An On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment accessible via

the front-panel buttons

• A non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used

• Housing in a TOOLS enclosure

• An external +5V DC source, making it suitable for field operation

To achieve the best performance we recommend:

• Connecting only high quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise-

levels (often associated with low quality cables)

• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position

your Kramer VP-410 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
