2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

•Review the contents of this user manual

•Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

•Use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user

manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades

are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer VP-729 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

VP-729 – Overview 3

3 Overview

The Kramer VP-729 is a 9-input Proscale™ Presentation Switcher / Scaler with

unbalanced stereo and digital S/PDIF audio. The VP-729 scales any composite,

s-Video (Y/C), component video (YUV), HDMI or computer graphics video signal, as

well as JPEG files (via USB) up or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output

resolution. It also provides glitch-free switching between sources through FTB™

(fade-thru-black) switching technology, in which the 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. The output signal is

available simultaneously on a 15-pin HD computer graphics video (UXGA) connector

and on an HDMI connector.

The VP-729 features include:

•Silicon Optix HQV® Video Processing - HQV (Hollywood Quality Video)

processing represents the state-of-the-art in video processing technology,

with the highest quality de-interlacing, noise reduction, and scaling

performance for both standard-definition and high-definition signals

•K-IIT XL™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology - ultra stable picture-

in-picture, picture-and-picture, and split screen capability. 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

•Four user definable (universal) video inputs (each can be set as composite

video, s-Video (Y/C) or component video), two computer graphics video

inputs, two HDMI inputs and 1 USB input (for reading JPEG image files that

are recognized up to 2048x1536 and do not exceed 1MB)

•HDTV compatible component input

•HDTV output resolutions - 720p 1080i, and 1080p

•Scaled video outputs - HDMI and computer graphics video

•HDMI support of up to 2.25Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel

Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions

•Multiple computer graphics output resolutions - including a user-defined

output resolution with selectable refresh rates

4 VP-729 - Contents

•Multiple aspect ratio selections

•Companion AFV (audio-follow-video) for every analog video input

•Embedded audio on the two HDMI inputs and output

The embedded audio feature is not available for the RGB resolutions 1920x1200 and

1920x1080. (It is available for 1080p)

•Built-in noise reduction and picture enhancement features

•Audio inputs - four (stereo audio or S/PDIF on two RCA connectors) for each

of the four universal video inputs; two unbalanced stereo audio (on 3.5mm

mini jacks) for the two computer graphics video inputs; and embedded audio

on the HDMI inputs

•Audio outputs - S/PDIF and unbalanced stereo audio (RCA connectors). The

machine transcodes stereo or S/PDIF audio to both stereo and S/PDIF audio

and embeds audio into the HDMI output

Tip: To use a 5.1 digital audio source, connect this HDMI or S/PDIF source (for

example, a Blu-ray player) directly to your receiver or display

•Built-in Time Base Corrector - stabilizes video sources with unstable sync

•Built-in video Proc-Amp - color, hue, sharpness, contrast, and brightness are

set individually for each input

•A BLANK button, a FREEZE button, a RESET TO XGA/720P button (to

hardware-reset the output resolution); and a PANEL LOCK button

The front panel blank, freeze and lock buttons can be programmed via the OSD menu

(see Page 32)

•Built-in audio Proc-Amp with bass, treble, balance and loudness control, as

well as audio delay

•Firmware upgrade performed via the USB port

•Slideshow option, letting you run a slideshow via the USB port

•An OSD (On-Screen Display) – for making adjustments – that can be located

anywhere on the screen

VP-729 – Overview 5

In addition, the VP-729:

•Includes non-volatile memory that retains the last settings, after switching the

power off and then on again

•Digitally reprocesses the signal to correct mastering errors and regenerates

the video at a higher line and pixel rate format, providing native-resolution

video for LCD, DLP and plasma displays

•Is specifically designed to improve video quality by reducing chroma noise

•Scales and zooms (to up to 400% of the original size)

•Can provide non-linear scaling for 4:3 and 16:9 transformation

Control your VP-729 directly via the front panel push buttons, or:

•By RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or

other serial controller

•Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter (with on-screen menus)

•Via the Ethernet

The VP-729 is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”

included and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.
