Introduction

1 Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and

affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video,

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

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

350-plus different models now appear in 8 Groups

, which are clearly defined

by function.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV /

Balanced Audio Matrix, which is ideal for the following typical applications:

 Any professional system requiring outstanding value in a 16x8 matrix

 Production and duplications facilities

The package includes the following items:

 VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix

 Power cord and Null-modem adapter

 Windows®-based Kramer control software

 This user manual

2 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

 Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

3 Overview

The high performance VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix is a

true matrix switcher, routing any input to any or all outputs simultaneously.

The VP-1608 includes 16 input and eight output selector buttons, as well as:

 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 3.5sec

), for clean

transitions when switching between non-genlocked sources

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

 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-IR1

Infra-Red 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

4 Summary of how to Operate a Single Machine

By default, the VP-1608 is setup for use as a single machine. This means that

it is a 16x8 RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix (in audio-follow-video mode),

with all setups empty and each input connected to its corresponding output

(for example, input 1 to output 1). The dipswitches are set up for a typical

application using a single machine (see Figure 1):
