Overview 

The Kramer 

VP-690

 is a high quality presentation switcher and scaler. It accepts 

one of nine inputs: one SD/HD/3G HD-SDI signal, two HDMI signals, two computer 

graphics signals on 15-pin HD connectors, two composite video signals on RCA 

connectors and two component video (also known as Y, Pb, Pr, Y, Cb, Cr and YUV; 

compat ble with both SD and HD component ) signals on RCA connectors. It scales 

the video, embeds the audio, and outputs the signal to the HDMI output as well as 

to a computer graphics output and an RGBHV video output together with a digital 

audio output and an analog stereo audio output.

from the analog input 

 

Comes with an On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment, 

accessible via the IR remote control and via the front-panel buttons
