UK - Kramer Electronics has announced the introduction of the VP-728 ProScale presentation scaler/switcher. The VP-728 is a nine-input scaler/switcher that sets new quality and performance benchmarks in the Kramer line up of ProScale scalers and scaler/switchers with the incorporation of Silicon Optix HQV video processing.

The VP-728 is HDTV and HDCP compatible offering 720p, 1080i and 1080p HDTV output resolutions as well as numerous other user-selectable pre-defined output resolutions and one user definable output resolution setting.

The VP-728 presentation scaler/switcher employs Kramer's FTB (Fade-Thru-Black) switching for glitch-free switching. The VP-728 can switch between any of nine inputs that include three-wire universal video inputs on RCA connectors (each can be composite video, s-Video or component video as chosen from the menu), two computer graphics video inputs on 15-pin HD connectors and two HDMI inputs. There is also 1 USB input for uploading JPEG images and installing convenient firmware updates.

Also available is the VP-729 with the same features as the VP-728 but also includes Ethernet control capability.
