    VPU3400 Introduction to VPU3400 The VPU3400 is a specially designed video processor for synchronic LED display. It is an image processor that can scale up and down the VGA and video images. It also does the signal selection. With the new technology of high precision A/D conversion and automatic noise reduction as well as the capability of changing from interlace to progressive scanning, the VPU 3400 boasts the function of putting out excellent video signal with high definition.

    LDU 3000 through an optical fiber. Signals like DVD, DC and TV signal should be connected to the video source input port of VPU3400, while DVI signal should be connected to the im- age port of VPU3400. Operation and parameter setting are done through the RS-232 port communication or operation on the front panel of the VPU3400.

    Sometimes you need to use more than one video processor to process the video signals. When you use three VPU3400s, for example, you need to set one VPU3400 as the master machine and two other VPU3400s as slave machines. Accordingly, you also need to set the starting column in the second channel in each slave VPU3400.
