3 Overview
The VP-747T is a unique presentation switcher control panel dedicated
specifically to control the VP-747
1
• Enables special effect transitions between two sources via a robust T-bar
(used for manual control of transition speeds). Alternatively, the effect can
be implemented via a TAKE button, with a potentiometer to set the
transition speed
. It is ergonomically and aesthetically
designed in a rugged, professional 19" 4U rack-mountable metal enclosure with
the button layout in the style of the VP-747. In particular, the VP-747T:
• Features single button access to all inputs 2
• Features dedicated single button actions for special effect selection,
immediate freezing and blanking, PIP display, and the choice of wipe
direction
—both for the Preview and for
the Program output—and the buttons have removable transparent caps to
allow labeling
• Has the user menu—conveniently located on the VP-747T panel—for
complete control of the VP-747 via its Preview OSD
• Consol can be simultaneously connected to up to four VP-747 machines,
using two mini XLR connectors and two terminal block connectors. The
communication is via RS-485, thus allowing the panel to be located more
than 1km from each VP-747
• Has an RS-232 port for field upgrading of its firmware
• With its angled faceplate, may be used freestanding on a table, or mounted
in a desktop or in a 19” rack (when your switcher is rack-mounted near to
the source devices, you can conveniently place the VP-747T
on a table or
desk away from the equipment rack)
• Has a gooseneck lamp (included) that can be plugged into the consol for
use in low lighting environments
• Is powered by a 12V DC source
1 The VP-747 is also backward compatible to the VP-727T
2 Has two sets of input buttons: one that routes the input to the "PROGRAM" output and the other that routes to the
"PREVIEW" output
