3 Overview
The Kramer VP-730 is a 9-input Proscale™ Presentation Switcher / Scaler.
Each audio input can accept balanced stereo audio or digital S/PDIF audio.
The VP-730 has a balanced stereo audio output and a digital S/PDIF audio
output.
The VP-730 scales any composite, s-Video (Y/C), component video (YPbPr),
HDMI or computer graphics video signal, as well as jpeg files (via USB) 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 output signal is available simultaneously on two
15-pin HD computer graphics video (PC) connectors and on an HDMI
connector.
The VP-730 features include:

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