Kramer Electronics VP-771 9-Input ProScale Presentation Switcher and Scaler with Speaker Outputs

The VP-771 is a high-quality presentation switcher and scaler for a variety of signals. It accepts one of nine inputs: component video, DisplayPort (DP), 3G HD-SDI, two computer graphics, two composite video and two HDMI signals. It scales the video, embeds the audio and outputs the signal to one HDMI, one computer graphics, one 3G HD-SDI and one DGKat TP, together with digital audio, unbalanced stereo and a 2x10-watt amplified balanced stereo speaker output.

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 any other video source with full window positioning and sizing controls.

Kramer's PixPerfect Scaling Technology
Kramer's precision pixel mapping and high quality scaling technology. High-quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down de-interlacing and full up and down scaling of all video input signals.

Ultra-Fast Fade-Thru-Black (FTB) Switching
Video switching transitions are clean and ultra fast. The video fades to black and the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free switching. The output signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches.

Advanced DE interlacing Functions
Method, sync, selectable film modes, diagonal correction and motion detection sensitivity, 3:2 and 2:2 pull-down; 24sf handling.

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

Multi-Standard Operation
SDI (SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 344M), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) and 3G HD-SDI (SMPTE 424M).

Mass Notification Emergency Communication System (MNEC)
Activates a national or campus-wide notification, immediately displayed when an emergency situation develops. It uses automatic text overlaying, either via a crawler or a full screen cover up, as well as an optional audio alert.

DGKat Signal Integration
Kramer's unique technology for converting TMDS as well as control and communication to signals that run over twisted pair cables.

System Range
Up to 90m (295') at 1080i at 60hz or up to 70m (230') at 1080p at 60hz when using Kramer DGKat cables. Note: Transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. If using third-party shielded CAT cables, both ends of the shield must be soldered to the connectors for the products to function properly.
