Overview
The VP-725NA is a presentation scaler/switcher with multiple signal format sections
and balanced stereo audio. The unit has five independent 4x1 video sections:
composite, s-Video (Y/C), component (RGB), computer graphics, and HDMI, plus a
single USB input. Each section can be operated as an individual switcher contained in
one box. It also scales any of the 21 inputs 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.
In particular, the VP-725NA features include:
•
Silicon Optix HQV® Video Processing (Hollywood Quality Video) which
represents the state-of-the-art in video processing technology, with the

frequencies (25 frames per second (PAL); 30 frames per second (NTSC).
•
•
HDTV Compatibility and HDCP compliance
The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy-
protected data on the HDMI input to pass to the HDMI output only.
Fade-Thru-Black (FTB™) Switching – The video fades to black and then
the new input fades from black for smooth, glitch-free switching. The output
signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches
•

3.1
Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a
display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the
display’s source). The EDID enables the VP-725NA to “know” what kind of monitor
is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the
product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance
data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.
EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA).

About HDMI
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital
audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema
industry. HDMI ensures an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated
with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog conversions. It delivers
the maximum high-definition image and sound quality in use today. Note that Kramer
Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered
trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital
flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy cable
SIMPLICITY - With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the
cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V systems is
reduced
LENGTHY CABLE - HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper
cable construction at up to 15m
•
Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable
MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO - HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from
standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to support
Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats
•
•
Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,

quality via a single cable, and user-friendly connector
HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting
uncompressed video formats in a simple, cost-effective manner
•
•
Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Supports CEC, two-way communication between the video source (such as
a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as
automatic configuration and one-button play
•
Has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats (720p,
1080i, and 1080p, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as NTSC or
PAL, as well as 480p and 576p

About HDCP
The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard developed by
Intel, protects digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI
connections between two HDCP-enabled devices to eliminate the reproduction of
copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such as movie studios) from
having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP standard provides for the
secure and encrypted transmission of digital signals.

Hardware flow control is not required for this unit. In the rare case where a
controller requires hardware flow control, short pin 1 to 7 and 8, and pin 4 to 6 on
the controller side.
Method B (Figure 5)—Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the unit via a
straight (flat) cable to the null-modem adapter, and connect the null-modem
adapter to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC. The straight cable usually
contains all nine wires for a full connection of the D-sub connector. Because the
null-modem adapter (which already includes the flow control jumpering described
in Method A above) only requires pins 2, 3 and 5 to be connected, you are free to
decide whether to connect only these 3 pins or all 9 pins.

Only the VIDEO GROUP button illuminates.
2. Press an input button to switch to the output for each of the five independent
switchers. For example, in the:
.
.
UXGA group, press INPUT 1
HDMI group, press INPUT 1
The HDMI Group Output is momentarily lost during switch transitions in the unit
.
CV group, press INPUT 2
YC group, press INPUT 3
COMP group, press INPUT 4
.
.
To operate the VP-725NA as five independent audio-video switchers:
1. Press both the VIDEO GROUP and the AUDIO GROUP buttons.
Both buttons illuminate.
2. Press an input button to switch to the output for each of the five independent
switchers. The Audio follows the video.

Any selected input can have its audio level adjusted either via the MASTER
AUDIO mode or the AUDIO GROUP mode and the last setting is maintained even
when a different operating mode is selected. The MASTER AUDIO output level
and the GROUP AUDIO output level set the master audio output and the group
For example, if CV input 3 audio level is set to 2 in the AUDIO GROUP mode, and
then you set it at 5 in the MASTER AUDIO mode, the audio level will still be 5 (not
2) when returning to the AUDIO GROUP mode.

7.1.1
Selecting the Correct Aspect Ratio
You can configure the aspect ratio of any output image to fit your application. The
VP-725NA offers six different aspect ratio settings: Best Fit, Letterbox, Follow
Output, Virtual Wide, Follow Input, and Custom. Here is how each of these
settings works.
BEST FIT – This setting re-sizes the video or graphics
input signal to “best fit” the output resolution while
maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. For
example, a composite video signal (4:3 aspect ratio) will
“best fit” to the top and bottom of a widescreen output
image, resulting in black pillars on either side.
LETTERBOX – This setting compresses the top and
bottom edges of the input signal, but fills the width of
the screen.
FOLLOW OUTPUT – The aspect ratio and resolution
of the input signal is re-sized to precisely match the
aspect ratio and resolution of the VP-725NA output
signal. This may result in some distortion to the input
signal images
VIRTUAL WIDE – The input signal is stretched
horizontally to fit the width of a widescreen output
image from the VP-725NA. This setting is used to
expand anamorphic (horizontally compressed) video
images from DVDs
FOLLOW INPUT – The aspect ratio and resolution of
the input video or graphics signal are both preserved.
For example, a composite video image with a 4:3
aspect ratio will appear with the same aspect ratio on
a 1080p (16:9) output image, surrounded by black
bars
CUSTOM – Use this menu to define a custom aspect
ratio by adjusting the output image horizontal size
(width) and vertical size (height)

When Follow Input is selected, the Scaler changes its HDCP output
setting (for the HDMI output) according to the HDCP of the input. This
option is recommended when the HDMI Scaler output is connected to
a splitter/switcher (in this mode, switching may not be glitch-free)
When Follow Output is selected, the Scaler matches its HDCP output
to the HDCP setting of the HDMI acceptor to which it is connected.
This ensures smooth switching, regardless of the input
