6.1 Understanding the Video Group Mode/Scaler Mode
This is a machine with an 18x1:3 switcher for the Scaler, as well as individual
video switchers for the 5 Video Groups: composite video, s-Video,
component video (RGB or YPbPr), DVI-D and VGA.
When the
VP-725DS
is in use, both modes operate simultaneously, as well as
independently. That is, the Scaler output is available even when switching in
the Video Group mode, and visa-versa (except for DVI: once a DVI input is
selected in the Scaler Mode, that DVI input selection cannot be changed in
the Video Group Mode).
6.2 Understanding the PIP Button Feature
The Picture-in-Picture inserter (PIP) is used for the simultaneous display of
video and graphic sources, and lets you display:
An inserted video source
2
PIP over a graphic source
3
An inserted graphic source
3
PIP over a video source

Your Presentation Switcher / Scaler automatically recognizes and displays
only the relevant sources, as the following 2 examples illustrate:
Choosing the AV 1 PIP source when the VGA input is selected, will
insert the composite video source over the VGA graphic displayed on the
screen. You can choose a component
