INTRODUCTION 1.1. General Introduction VP-793 is a very flexible image scaler developed specifically for driving large screen displays and multiple screen applications from video or graphics sources. VP-793 features a state of the art digital image processor which provides market leading HD & SD perpixel multiple Iow-angle motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film pull-down correction for 3:2 and 2:2, significantly outperforming the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
1.1.1.
VP-793 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1. Product Overview VP-793 is designed to accept the following input signals: VGA analog (computer interface) via a 15HDD nd DVI (Digital Visual Interface) via DVI-I (supporting a digital or 2 analog VGA input) HDMI via HDMI connector 2.2. Product Specification This section provides technical details for all possible inputs. Note that not all possible input options may be applicable to certain output modes. 2.2.1.
VP-793 CONTROL 3.1.
3.2. Introduction The front panel has keys for OSD menu navigation and input channel selection. OSD navigation is through two direction keys and a Menu/Enter key . 2 1 3 4 1 – Standby key: When applying power to the unit it starts up. This is indicated by the green On LED flashing. Once the unit is operational, the On LED is permanently on. By pressing the Standby Key, the unit is put into standby mode. This is indicated by the red Standby LED being permanently on.
3.3. Main Menu The main menu lists the input channel select item, 6 sub menus, and a menu item for automatic setup of VGA modes. The 6 sub menus are Output, Color, Geometry, Multiple Unit, Enhancement and System. On each menu page an Exit menu item is available to leave the menu or submenu. The menu may also be left by pressing the up and down key simultaneously. The menu system is contextual.
3.5.2. Output Mode Settings: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1360x768, 1366x768, 1400x1050, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1200, 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p Set up the desired output resolution with output mode. The output mode setting should match the native resolution of the imaging device to avoid double scaling. The default output resolution as set by the factory or after a user issued factory reset is 720p. 3.5.3.
The status line of the OSD window under Sync Mode indicates if the output signal is locked to the input signal (I/O Locked) or in free run mode (Free Run). 3.5.6. Native Color Temp Settings: 5500, 6500, 7500, 9300, 10000 Native Color Temp allows the user to select from pre-configured color temperatures to match the display. If both Native Color Temp set here in the Output menu and Color Temp set in the Color menu are set to the same value, no conversion is performed. 3.5.7. Output Gamma Settings: 1.
3.6. Color This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up inputs to the unit. Use the Up and Down keys to scroll to the required item and press the Menu key. 3.6.1. Black-Level Offset Available Settings: 0 IRE, 7.5 IRE Used to select 7.5 IRE black level set-up adjustment. Should always be set to 7.5 IRE for HDMI video inputs. 3.6.2. Black-Level Available Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 Black level controls the offset applied to the video signal. 3.6.3.
3.7.1. Horizontal and Vertical Position Available Settings: in steps of 1 pixel and line Change the positional values to match the display boarders. 3.7.2. Edge Control Submenu for changing the position of the image edges, effectively scaling the image in horizontal and vertical direction. If Pan Tilt Zoom is activated Edge Control is disabled. It does effectively the same, but has greater range. 3.7.3.
3.7.5. Pan Tilt Zoom This menu provided settings to zoom and shrink the image, as well as panning within the image. Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) can be switched ON or OFF. Note :- When switched ON the latency of the system is increased by one frame. Thus, there is a difference of a PTZ setting OFF or ON even if no adjustments are applied. Note :- PTZ settings can be saved ‘per mode’ or ‘globally’, .
3.8. Multiple Unit VP-793 has a Multiple Unit menu for use in a multi screen application. Multiple screens are stitched together to provide a bigger display with higher resolution than a single display. Each display is driven by a separate VP-793 unit. When using the Auto Zoom function - Each VP-793 unit gets the same graphics or video input signal through a distribution amplifier. The VP-793 unit cuts out and resizes the image to display the part of the image assigned to the corresponding screen.
Note: Each VP-793 unit needs to be provided with the exact same value for left and right blend region. Top and bottom blend region have to be identical as well, but don´t need to have the same value as left and right. The VP-793 units do not communicate between each other and thus they have to make an assumption for auto zoom calculations and that is overlap of the neighbouring (and those beyond) projectors is identical. 3.8.5.
3.9. Enhancement The enhancement menu provides image enhancement functions. Note that the enhancement settings apply to video input signals only, not computer graphics signals. 3.9.1. Sharpness Available Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 Control of the sharpening enhancement filters' levels. These are peaking filters to improve highfrequency response. Note that setting this control too high on a signal which already has good high frequency response will cause ringing or ghosting. 3.9.2.
3.10.3. Input Config Inputs can be configured through the following sub-menus: VGA Setup: Submenu for adjusting analog computer video. A button for automatic setup of frequency and phase of the sampling clock is provided. This automatic adjustment is strongly recommended. Frequency (Clock) and phase can also be altered manually. DVI/HDMI Setup: The DVI-I connector will accept either DVI-D or VGA analog inputs. The DVI-I channel can be configured for either.
3.10.5. Menu Settings This menu provides items to change the menu position and menu display time, the time after which the OSD is switched off again with no user interaction. OSD Messages can be activated and deactivated. The menu language can be altered and the keypad can be locked. Either all keys or the menu and menu navigational keys can be locked. To unlock the keypad a combination of keys has to be pressed at the same time. The locking of the keyboard is accompanied by a message: Keypad is locked.
REMOTE CONTROL WEB SERVER 4.1. Introduction VP-793 features a Web server which connects to a PC Web browser via TCP/IP. The menu system of VP-793 is mirrored into the Web browser and all menu items can be accessed and controlled through the keyboard or mouse of the PC. 4.2. Installing the Software No extra software needs to be installed on a PC. The PC Web browser is used as the graphical user interface for all control items.
Values are set by sliders. For fine increment of a slider value click on the slider and use the mouse wheel to change the value in steps of 1. Click again and the value is applied. 4.5. File Upload A page for file uploads is provided. Test patterns can be created and stored on the PC. Four such custom test patterns can be uploaded to and stored by the VP-793 unit. Each of the test patterns in the four slots can be deleted and replaced by another test pattern. The test patterns need to be in RGB 24bit .
