APPENDIX A: VP Function
The Video Processor (VP) is a TBC/Synchronizer and Digital Video Effects unit all in one. It
not only stabilizes video output, but it has the unique ability to scale video both vertically and
horizontally then position it anywhere on the screen. Featuring digital comb filtering as well as
notch filtering, line and pixel interpolation, the VP produces a high-resolution picture output and
preserves maximum image content for smooth image resizing and positioning.
The VP is ideal for “over-the-shoulder” effects. With the combiner board, the VP may also be
used to produce a multitude of special editing effects such as dissolves, cuts, fade-to-black and
zooming transitions. Users may produce bulletins and captions with the VP or use it to
manipulate an image via aspect ratio control for a perfect fit on any screen, or they may display
multiple images on one screen for teleconferencing, training and before/after effects.
