quality via a single cable6, and user-friendly connector
•
•
Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Supports CEC, two-way communication between the video source (such
as a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality
such as automatic configuration and one-button play
•
HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats
(720p, 1080i, and 1080p, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as
NTSC or PAL, as well as 480p and 576p.

7.3.1
Adjusting the Audio Level
You can set the audio level to determine the volume for each Group input and
output, as well as for the Master In, Master Out, and Mic In.
To adjust the group audio level via the front panel:
1. Press the AUDIO GROUP button.
2. Press the AUDIO LEVEL LINE button to adjust the group audio input
level or press the AUDIO LEVEL OUT button to adjust the group audio
output level.
An OSD audio level adjustment box appears on the screen.
Press the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the various groups.
3. Press the + and – buttons to adjust the audio level1.
To adjust Master Audio level via the front panel:
1. Press the MASTER AUDIO button.
2. Press the AUDIO LEVEL LINE button to adjust the master audio input
level or press the AUDIO LEVEL OUT button to adjust the master audio
output level.
An OSD audio level adjustment box appears on the screen.
Any selected input can have its audio level adjusted either via the MASTER
AUDIO mode or the AUDIO GROUP mode and the last setting is maintained
even when a different operating mode is selected. The MASTER AUDIO
output level and the GROUP AUDIO output level set the master audio output
and the group audio output, respectively, as illustrated in the example in
1 Audio level within the group is adjusted for the selected input only. When selecting a different input within the group, that
input updates automatically

Operating the VP-725XLA Presentation Switcher / Scaler
For example, if CV input 3 audio level is set to 2 in the AUDIO GROUP
mode, and then you set it at 5 in the MASTER AUDIO mode, the audio level
will still be 5 (not 2) when returning to the AUDIO GROUP mode.

The MIC CONTROL1 section buttons include these:
•
•
•
Override2, that blocks the input signal and enables the microphone input
to be routed to the Master output
Mix, that sends the combined signals from the microphone and the line to
the Master output
Talkover, that routes the selected input to the output, until an audio
signal is detected on the microphone input. When detected, the selected
input is faded out (to be faded back in when no input is detected on the
microphone)
1 Only one of the three buttons can be ON, or all three buttons can be OFF (pressing a button will select that button, and turn
OFF the previously selected button. If the selected button is pressed, it will turn it OFF)
2 When no MIC CONTROL button is selected, the audio input is routed to the MASTER output, ignoring the mic input

The Slideshow Feature
The VP-725XLA lets you run a slideshow via the USB input and set the
slideshow speed via the slideshow feature.
To prepare a slideshow:
1. Load the slideshow JPEG3 images to a USB memory stick.
The slides will appear in alphabetical order.
2. Open the Setup menu and set the desired speed in the slideshow item
and then close the menu.
3. Connect the Memory stick to the USB connector on the front panel.
4. Select the USB INPUT button on the front panel.
The slideshow begins at the set speed.
You have to set the slideshow parameters before you run the slideshow
You can control the slide show by pressing the:
•
•
•
•
FREEZE button to pause
USB button to play and stop the slideshow
Up button to go to the previous slide
Down button to go to the next slide
1 When an EDID file update is required, set the EDID protection to OFF. Note that this function might not be available for
old hardware versions. In this case, this feature will be grayed out
2 Set to Normal for sources with HDCP. When in Normal operation, the unit sends a hot plug to the source for any
Group/Scaler switching request. There might be some graphic cards that might shut OFF the VGA/HDMI output following
the hot plug detection. To prevent this, set this parameter to the Bypass mode so the unit will not send a hot plug for switching
request (the hot plug will be detected by the source only when plugging a physical connection). Note that this function might
not be available for old hardware versions. In this case, this feature will be grayed out
