Kramer VP-794 8-Input Universal Live Events Scaler/Switcher/Blend & Warp

This high performance digital and analog 8-Input Kramer VP-794 Scaler/Switcher is ideal for projection and LED video wall, live events and broadcast scaling applications. The Kramer universal live events scaler was designed and developed specifically for getting video and graphic sources to large screen displays and multiple screen applications. The Kramer VP-794 scales the incoming signal up or down, processes the image with HQV or warping, geometry correction and edge blending and outputs the signal to 3G HD-SDI, DVI/HDMI, VGA and S/PDIF connectors featuring a special mode for driving LED video walls with pixel-accurate output image sizing.

Features:

• Optimized Operating Modes - For LED video walls, or soft edge-blend and warp for projection, or scan conversion/scaling for general purpose scaler/switcher use.
• Multi-Format Operation - 3G HD-SDI, HDMI, DVI, computer graphics, component, composite and s-Video inputs for signals up 1080p & WUXGA.
• Full Warp Mapping - Easy warp map creation for stacked projector alignment and curved screen multi-projector tiling via an included PC application.
• Powerful Geometry Correction - For off-axis projection, pin/barrel and image rotation, pan, tilt and zoom.
• Edge Blending - 4-sided professional grade edge blend with 48-bit processing, degamma & multi-region black level correction.
• HQV Video Processing - HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing represents the state-of-the-art in video processing technology, with the highest quality de-interlacing (with 3:2 & 2:2 pull down), 4D motion adaptive SD noise reduction and outstanding scaling performance for both standard-definition and high-definition signals.
