Addendum: Scalers Group  
Additional Features of the Scaler Products Group according to  
the Master-Firmware Ver-2.33 Release.  
1.  
This version requires Slave Firmware version 1.06 or higher. The version can be  
seen in the INFO section of the on-screen menu. Contact your Kramer service center if  
you have any questions.  
2.  
Improved functionality lets you select the PIP source via the RS-232  
command. Sending an inappropriate PIP source command (request video PIP source  
while the main video input is selected; or the same for graphic sources) will not cause  
the unit to operate erroneously. In such a case, the unit will ignore the command and  
return the message: “ineffective source”. This option does not apply to the VP-719DS.  
3.  
Added PIP position(s) commands in the RS-232 protocol. These commands  
let you input the absolute value (from 0 to 36) of the horizontal and vertical positions of  
the PIP. For details, see the protocol table. This option does not apply to the VP-719DS.  
4.  
Added new output resolution 1280x768. This resolution is marked with an  
asterisk “*” to attract your attention to the fact that this is not a standard VESA  
resolution and its parameters vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, this  
resolution must be used with caution. It is also possible to use the parameters of this  
resolution in combination with the User Defined resolution (see below). There is also an  
RS-232 command for this resolution. For details, see the protocol table.  
5.  
Added 50 Hz output refresh rate. This is for special cases only. Many of the  
modern screens and projectors have difficulties working with such a low frequency.  
6.  
In the OSD under UTILITIES>ADVANCED there is new item: “Input  
Button”. This item defines an action after repeatedly pressing the same input selection  
button. This item has following options:  
ñ
FREEZE/BLANK – this is the current situation (quoting from the user  
manual: Press again (when the LED illuminates) to freeze the image; the LED  
flashes. Press once again (when the LED flashes), to display a blank screen; the  
LED flashes more slowly)). This remains the factory default  
ñ
ñ
ñ
FREEZE – pressing the button toggles between LIVE and FREEZE  
BLANK – pressing the button toggles between LIVE and BLANK  
IGNORE – after selecting the source, the button is ignored  
The settings also apply to the input buttons on the IR control.  
7. Under the Utility>PIP Setting there is new item: “PIP Frame”. This feature  
allows the enable/disable yellow frame around the PIP through the OSD or the new  
RS-232 command: L 50AF. The RS-232 command allows PIP frame enable/disable  
while the PIP is activated. However, before doing it via the OSD you must switch the  
PIP OFF. While the frame is activated, pressing the UP and DOWN buttons on the front  
panel and on the IR remote control would toggle through the PIP size settings. This  
option does not apply to the VP-719DS.

Addendum: Scalers Group  
8.  
Under the Utility>Output Setting>User Mode Setting there is a new option:  
“Set Current”. This feature lets you apply the parameters of the currently selected  
output resolution to the User Define output resolution (Utility>Output  
Setting>Resolution). This set of parameters can be used as a “starting point” to adjust  
parameters according to the requirements of the signal receiver. The changes to the User  
Define parameters are applied immediately and require confirmation in the same part of  
the OSD.  
9.  
In the OSD under UTILITIES>ADVANCED there is new item “User  
Define Measure”. This feature lets you modify the automatically detected parameters  
of the input graphic signal and save them in one of 3 sets for further use. The changes  
are applied in real time and therefore can be monitored directly on the screen. This  
feature is especially useful in working with non-standard input resolutions. The  
following parameters can be changed:  
H Total:  
H Start:  
H Active:  
V Start:  
V Active:  
Ch Pump:  
Color:  
Horizontal total  
Horizontal active start point  
Horizontal active region  
Vertical active start point  
Vertical active region  
Charge Pump current  
Color Format  
10.  
Under the Utility>PIP Setting>PIP Size, there is a new option: “User  
Define”. This feature lets you set the size of the PIP to your exact needs. To use this  
option, select “User Define”, then press the “PIP User Define” bar and set the PIP  
V-size (0-2551) and H-size (0-2551). This option does not apply to the VP-719DS.  
11.  
By pressing the +, -, UP and DOWN buttons continuously, you can speed  
up their response. For example, to roughly set the brightness to a higher level, open  
“Brightness and Contrast”>Brightness, and press and hold the + button. For step-by-step  
response, press and release these buttons as many times as needed.  
12.  
New firmware supports an updated set of RS-232 protocol commands.  
13. Under Geometry>Scale>Aspect Ratio there is a new option: “User Define”.  
This feature lets you adjust the geometry of the outputted picture.  
14.  
A new refresh rate for HDTV resolutions. This new feature supports the  
HDTV outputs with 50Hz refresh rate2.  
1 255 corresponds to a full screen  
2 This option applies to machines that support HDTV resolutions
