Description
The VP-426C is a professional digital scaler designed to convert and scale HDMI, USB Type-C and computer graphics/VGA signals to a single HDMI output. It accepts multiple input types and provides upscaling or downscaling to resolutions up to 4K@60 4:4:4. The unit maintains signal integrity and provides HDR10 support for high-dynamic-range sources.
Key features include support for HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2/1.4, an 18Gbps maximum data rate, and a built-in ProcAmp for color and image adjustments. The device offers manual and automatic source selection and input auto-switching for simplified operation. Constant sync on the output preserves display timing even if the input signal is lost.
Performance specifications include support for resolutions up to 4K@60 4:4:4 and a maximum bandwidth of 18Gbps (6Gbps per graphic channel). HDR10 content is passed through when present and EDID read/store functions ensure compatibility with a wide range of displays. The scaler processes video with low-latency scaling suitable for presentation and display systems.
Connectivity is flexible with HDMI, USB Type-C and VGA/HDTV inputs and a single HDMI output. The unit can embed unbalanced analog audio into the HDMI output and can de-embed audio to balanced analog outputs. A front panel USB type-A port supports local firmware upgrades and a contact-closure connector enables remote source switching.
The VP-426C is suitable for projection and presentation systems in conference rooms, boardrooms, hotels and houses of worship as well as home theater upscaling applications. Its compact fanless MegaTOOLS enclosure supports surface mounting or side-by-side mounting of two units in a 1U rack space using a rack adapter. LED indicators show input and power status for quick verification.
Operation is straightforward via an on-screen display controlled by front panel buttons and an input selector. Additional front panel controls include video freeze and resolution reset for fast troubleshooting and presentation control. All user settings are stored in non-volatile memory to preserve configuration after power cycles.
