Overview

3 Overview

The VP-725XLA is a presentation scaler/switcher with multiple signal format

sections and balanced stereo audio. The unit has five independent 4x1 video

sections: composite, s-Video (Y/C), component (RGB), computer graphics, and

HDMI, plus a single USB input. Each section can be operated as an individual

switcher contained in one box. It also scales any of the 21 inputs up or down to a

selectable graphics or HDTV output resolution and provides glitch-free switching

between sources through FTB™ (fade-thru-black) switching technology.

The VP-725XLA:

Video) which 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

•Features high-quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down, de-interlacing and full up-

and down-scaling of computer graphics video input signals1

•Is HDTV Compatible and HDCP compliant2

•Includes Fade-Thru-Black (FTB™) Switching – the video fades to black and

then the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free switching. The

output signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches

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 controls3

•Supports Multi-Formats – Auto, NTSC (3.58/4.43), PAL (M/N/60) and

SECAM

•Includes scaled computer and HDTV outputs – a single output signal in

three formats (15-pin HD (UXGA), RGBHV, and HDMI) simultaneously

•Includes HDTV output resolutions – 720p, 1080i, and 1080p

•Has a USB front panel port for reading and displaying JPEG picture files

•Features multiple color space – RGB or YUV output

•Supports embedded audio on the HDMI inputs and outputs4

1 Accommodates the frame-rate of a converted movie (24 frames per second) to video frequencies (25 frames per second

(PAL); 30 frames per second (NTSC)

2 The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows only copy-protected data on the HDMI input to

pass to the HDMI output

3 See section 7.4

4 The embedded audio feature is not available for the 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 computer resolutions

•Provides multiple aspect ratio selections: standard, letterbox, follow

output, virtual wide, follow input, and user definable settings

•Features six possible operation modes via the Video Group2, the Audio

Group3, the Scaler4, and the Master Audio5buttons. These modes function

simultaneously and independently, letting you switch the audio and video

signals separately (breakaway mode) or in the audio-follow-video mode

•Includes an independent Master Audio output that has a rich set of

ProcAmp features, including bass and treble controls (via the MENU, LCD

status display, OSD, RS-232 and the infrared remote control transmitter)

channel6

1 Recommended for advanced users only – non-standard settings may not be recognized by the display device

2 Selects the video input from each group: CV, YC, COMP, UXGA, HDMI for switching to its local (group) output

3 Selects the audio input from each group for switching

4 Converts the selected input (one of 21) to the SCALED OUTPUTS

5 Routes the selected audio input (one of 20) to the MASTER OUT terminal block connector

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

Overview

Control the VP-725XLA:

•From the front panel and a user-friendly menu-driven OSD (see section

8.1)

•From the front panel high contrast LCD Display (see section 8.2)

•Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter (see section 8.3)

•Via the Ethernet (see section 8.4)

•Remotely, via RS-232

Achieving the best performance means:

•Connecting only good 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, making

sure not to block the ventilation holes, and positioning your VP-725XLA

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

3.1 About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital1

audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home

cinema industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound

quality. Note that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an

HDCP Licensee.

In particular, HDMI2:

•Provides a simple3interface between any audio/video source, such as a

set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a

digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy4cable

•Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel

digital audio5on a single cable

•Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital

audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and

requirements

•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video

quality via a single cable6, and user-friendly connector

•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

•Supports CEC, 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

(720p, 1080i, and 1080p, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as

NTSC or PAL, as well as 480p and 576p.

Figure 1 and Table 1 define the front panel of the VP-725XLA:

1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-

to-analog conversions

2 HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI

licensing LLC

3 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables

currently used in A/V systems is reduced

4 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m

5 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to

support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats

6 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a

simple, cost-effective manner
