Kramer VP-771 - 9 input presentation switcher

9-input, multi-format display selector/scaler. Accepts one of nine inputs: Component video signals, DisplayPort (DP), 3G HD-SDI, two VGA, two composite video and two HDMI. It scales video, embeds audio and outputs an HDMI, VGA, 3G HD-SDI and TP DGKat output signal, along with digital audio, unbalanced stereo and a balanced 2x10W balanced stereo speaker output. The unit is suitable for projection systems in conference rooms, meeting rooms, auditoriums, hotels and churches, production, rental and direct studies. Also for any application where we need high quality conversion and switching of multiple and different video signals to graphic data signals for projection purposes.

  
Kramer VP-771 features

• 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 Pix Perfect 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 Deinterlacing Functions: Method, sync, selectable film modes, diagonal correction and motion detection sensitivity, 3:2 and 2:2 pull–down; 24sf handling
• HDTV Compatible
