24  VP-747 - Understanding the VP-747 
7.2.1  The Transition from Preview to Program 
The transition can occur in one of two modes (As selected via the Transition OSD 
Menu, see 
Section  8.1.3
•  The Swap mode (default for the VP-747) (shown in 
): 
Figure 10), in which the 
PREVIEW input buttons and the PROGRAM input buttons switch places 
after pressing the TAKE button. For example, in 
Figure 10 the PROGRAM 
input button 3 would switch to 2 and the PREVIEW input button 2 would 
switch to 3, so the RGBS source is displayed on the PROGRAM screen and 
the Component source is displayed on the PREVIEW screen. 
•  The Follow mode in which the PROGRAM input button is switched to the 
same position as the PREVIEW input button after the TAKE button is 
pressed 
7.3  Switching/Scaling of an Input 
The VP-747 scales the selected sources to HDMI, RGBHV or YUV and VGA 
simultaneously. It switches seamlessly between sources using the selected 
special effects, which include cuts, fades, and wipes. Select the appropriate source 
(from channel 1 to 8) via the Input command in both the Preview Setting OSD screen 
and/or the Program Setting OSD screen (see 
Section  8.1
Composite video, s-Video, component video (sometimes called YUV or Y, B-Y, R-Y or Y, Pb, 
Pr ), RGB/YUV, RGBS, RGsB, or RGBHV. 
), via the IR or front panel 
pushbuttons, or via the serial or Ethernet control. 
7.4  Understanding the PIP Button Feature 
The Picture-in-Picture inserter (PIP) is used for the simultaneous display of video 
and graphic sources, and lets you display an inserted video PIP source over a graphic 
source (for example, a composite video or s-Video PIP source inserted over a 
component, RGB/YUV, RGBS, RGsB, or RGBHV graphic source), or an inserted 
graphic PIP source over a video source (for example, a component (graphics), 
RGB/YUV, RGBS, RGsB, or RGBHV graphic PIP source inserted over a 
composite video, s-Video, or component video source), as in the table below. Both 
the Preview and Program outputs can support the PIP function. 
Since the HDMI signal is HDCP protected, an HDMI signal cannot appear on a display that is 
not HDCP compliant.
