Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix is a true matrix

switcher, routing any input to any or all outputs. The VP-1608 includes 16

input and 8 output selector buttons.

The unit features:

 A bandwidth of 400MHz (fully loaded) for RGB signals

 A unique vertical and horizontal sync-pulse solution

 Audio-follow-video or audio breakaway option (to switch audio

independently from video)

 15 preset memory locations for quick access to common

configurations

 A “TAKE” button for precise switch control, letting you place

multiple switches in a queue, and then activate them, with one

touch of this button or a single serial command

 A delayed switching mode (ranging from 0 to 3.5sec1

Control the VP-1608 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

), for clean

transitions when switching between non-genlocked sources

 RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands—that also support audio gain

adjustments for each input and output—transmitted by a touch

screen system, PC, or other serial controller

 The Kramer RC-IR2 Infrared Remote Control Transmitter

The VP-1608 is dependable, rugged and fits into three vertical spaces (3U)

of a standard 19" rack. To achieve the best performance:

 Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching,

and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality

cables)

 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and

position your Kramer VP-1608 away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust

Installing the VP-1608 in a Rack

5 Installing the VP-1608 in a Rack

This section describes how to install the VP-1608 in a rack.

Before Installing in a rack How to Rack Mount

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the

machine (5 on each side), and

replace those screws through the

ear brackets.

2. Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in the

rack ears.

Note that:

 In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

 Detachable rack ears can be

removed for desktop use

 Always mount the machine in the

rack before you attach any cables

or connect the machine to the

power

 If you are using a Kramer rack

adapter kit (for a machine that is not

19"), see the Rack Adapters user

manual for installation instructions

(you can download it at:

http://www.kramerelectronics.com)

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 C (41 to 113 F)

Operating humidity range 10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range -20 to +70 C (-4 to 158 F)

Storage humidity range 5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

CAUTION!!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking

care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the

room ambient temperature.

2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around

the machine.

3. The machine is placed straight in the correct

horizontal position.

4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the

product label.

5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord

is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a power

strip, and that you use only the power cord that is

supplied with the machine.
