Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer VP-419xl Video To SXGA/HD Scaler is a high quality converter
for up-scaling composite video, s-Video (YC), and SD component video to
XGA1 and HD resolutions. It also has a computer graphics (XGA) input,
which – when selected, or when the machine is not powered - is routed
directly (bypassed) to the output. Video inputs are de-interlaced and scaled to
the selected PC or HDTV resolutions, as follows:
VGA (640x480) SXGA (1280x1024) 720p
SVGA (800x600) 480p 1080i
XGA (1024x768) 576p
The VP-419xl Video To SXGA/HD Scaler also features:
Automatic detection of NTSC, PAL-B, PAL-G, PAL-I, PAL-D, and
SECAM video standards
An On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment, accessible
via the IR remote control and via the front-panel buttons
A high-performance adaptive 3D comb filter (for precise color
management)
Per-pixel motion compensated de-interlacing for artifact-free video images
Automatic detection for 3:2 pulldown for 24fps film source material
Frame rate conversion of 50Hz to 60Hz for PAL input signals
A Vertical Temporal (VT) Filter for removing jagged artifacts
Advanced color/luminance transient improvement circuitry
A PC Input connector for easy integration into an existing system
A built-in procamp for convenient signal adjustment
A non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used
The machine is fed from an external 12V DC source, making it suitable for
field operation.
Control your VP-419xl:
Directly, via the front panel push buttons
Remotely, from the infra-red remote control transmitter
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an HD15 connector
having a resolution from VGA up to SXGA
