Kramer Introduces the VP-790 8-Input ProScale Digital Scaler/Switcher with GenlockKramer Electronics introduces the high-quality VP-790 ProScale digital scaler/switcher, Kramer's first scaler to incorporate 3G HD-SDI signal processing and genlock capability. The unit takes one of the inputs, scales the video, embeds the audio, and outputs the signal to the computer graphics, DVI/HDMI and 3G HD-SDI outputs simultaneously. With its genlock input and other unique characteristics, the VP-790 is ready to tackle any live event and ideal for use in broadcast video applications. The unit's HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) scaling engine ensures incredible image quality. The VP-790 represents the state-of-the-art in video processing technology according to the company, with the highest quality de-interlacing (with 3:2 and 2:2 pull down), noise reduction, and scaling performance for both standard-definition and high-definition signals. The VP-790 can accept signals of up to 3Gbps (3G HD-SDI). It is HDTV compatible and HDCP compliant. This product offers multiple aspect ratio selections of full, overscan, underscan, letterbox, and panscan. The built-in ProcAmp includes color, hue, sharpness, noise, contrast, and brightness while the unit's non-volatile memory saves the final settings. The VP-790's video warping feature takes user-generated screen coordinates to match any linear or non-linear surface. Other unique features include picture rotation and edge-blending that facilitates building large images using multiple projectors by feathering the overlapped edges. The VP-790 features a wide variety of flexible control options: OSD (on-screen display), IR remote, Ethernet and RS-232. Its variety of inputs and outputs including the Genlock input, fully flexible picture-in-picture feature, HQV scaling engine, and host of advanced image enhancement features make this scaler/switcher an outstanding choice for any live show venue, the company says. The VP-790 is a standard 1U 19" rack mount size and comes with included rack "ears."
