PROSCALE™ PRESENTATION

 SCALER / SWITCHER 

 

The VP-740 ProScale (industrial version) and the VP-740 ScaleMagix 
(consumer version) are 8-input scaler/switchers. They scale any 
composite, s-Video (Y/C), component video (YUV), DVI video or computer 
graphics video signal up or down to a selectable graphics or HDTV output 
resolution, and provide glitch-free switching between sources through 
F T B ™   ( f a d e

-thrublack)switching technology. 

DESCRIPTION  

K-Storm™ Scaling Technology 

–  Kramer’s extremely high performance 

scaling technology. High quality 3: K-Storm™ Scaling Technology 

– Kramer’s 

extremely high performance scaling technology. High quality 3: 2 and 2:2 pull 
down de-interlacing and full up and down scaling of computer graphics video 
input signals. 2 and 2:2 pull down de-interlacing and full up and down scaling 
of computer graphics video input signals.  
Fade-Thru-Black (FTB™) Switching 

-  The video fades to black and then the 

new input fades from black for glitch-free and smooth switching. The output 
signal provides constant sync so the display never glitches.
