MTX3-88-SE –Introduction

Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world

of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the

video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we

have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for

possible future shipment.

•Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/MTX3-88-SE to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving Best Performance

•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,

high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor

matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your Kramer MTX3-88-SE away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Safety Instructions

Caution:

•This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating

for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning:

•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

•Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

•Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by qualified

personnel only.

•To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating

specified on the product label which is located on the bottom of the unit.

simultaneously displaying dual quad–view presentations and Picture(s)-In-Picture,

concurrently mirrored on output displays.

•Seamless Switching —Clean and instantaneous switching between inputs, with smooth

and uninterrupted transition between presented content on displays, greatly enhances

end–users' presentation experience.

•High–Performance Scaling Experience —Built–in ProcAmp high–resolution scaling

technology for optimal up or down image scaling and video signal auto–adjustment with

output–connected display capabilities, to gain end–users' valuable high presentation

experience.

•HDMI Signal Switching —HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting deep color, x.v.Color™,

CEC, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS–HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as

specified in HDMI 2.0.

Advanced and User-friendly Operation

ensures plug & play operation for HDMI source and display systems.

•Audio De–embedding —The digital audio signal passing through to selectable outputs,

is de–embedded, converted to an analog signal and sent to four stereo balanced analog

audio outputs. This enables playing the audio on a locally connected professional audio

system (such as DSP) and speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected

to the AV acceptor devices (such as TVs with speakers).

•Multi–channel Audio Transmission —Up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed

signals for supporting studio–grade surround sound.

•Ethernet Extension —Ethernet interface data flows in both directions, allowing extension

of up to 1 Gbps Ethernet connectivity for LAN communication and device control.

•Bidirectional RS–232 Extension —Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing

data transmission and device control.
