VP-4500

A4 size, 1,000-line class compatible video printer
  • Work station compatible.
  • Clear hard copies at 256 tones.
  • Compatible with many fields of image processing.
  • High picture quality at a low price

Signal input at a maximum frequency of 135 Mhz. The top model in the VP series, compatible with work stations, high resolution displays and other advanced image processing equipment.

With the continuous advances in image processing technology, image recording devices must offer an ever greater range of compatibility, image quality precision, higher speed, economy and ease of operation. The VP-4500 achieves all of this. Thanks to its high frequency compatibility, a first for monochrome video printers, it can be used with 1000-line class work station images with no need for special interface. The VP-4500 offers quick hard copies with vivid , virtually photographic 256-tone picture quality, and with running cost much lower than film. Finally, an all-purpose video printer which can be used effectively in all areas of image processing, from OA equipment, medical image diagnosis, and industrial production to research and development.

A high quality of 256 tones and 300 DPI. Compatible with high-contrast synthetic paper for even more vivid picture. Preset files with settings for major models facilitate use.

256 tones, 300DPI

Hard copies on which even slight differences in shades are recreated faithfully in 256 tones (8 bits), with a high resolution of 300 DPI (fine mode, horizontal direction). Effective for recording, storage and visual presentations.

Maximum 135MHz high frequency compatiblity

Usable with input signals from high resolution displays, work stations, personal computers and image processing devices of major companies.

1000-line class compatibility

Compatible with 1,280 x 1,024 dot work satations, add up to 1,536-line print rasters.

Auto scan function

Auto scanning with a horizontal frequency of 14.5 to 100.0 kHz.

RGB signal compatibility

Easy connection of all types of video signals. Direct input of analog RGB signals and RGB TTL (digittal RGB) signals, expressed in gray. Externally synchronized printing is alsopossible by inputting external clock signals.

Compatible with high-contrast synthetic paper

High contrast, high picture quality with low running costs. regular synthetic paper can also be used.

Built-in frame memory

Quick input of signals and serial copies of a single image. The host side is freed from printing operations for greater efficiency.

Multi-format function

Multi-format function in which the screen can be split and one, two or four images printed simultaneously.

File functions

Preset files for the most commonly use models eliminates the need for initial settings. User files are also available, so 32 extra settings can be registered according to the application.
