2.1 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to

landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To

comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made

arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN)

and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste

Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For

details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country go to

our recycling pages at

http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

2.2 Quick Start

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

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-16x18AK is a high performance, 16x18 computer graphics video

matrix router for high resolution video and stereo audio signals. The

VP-16x18AK is HDTV compatible and lets you simultaneously route any

or all of the 16 inputs to any or all of the 18 outputs.

In particular, the VP-16x18AK,16 x 18 PC UXGA/Audio Router features:

•Kramer’s innovative integrated sync processing; Kr-isp®technology

provides a sharp, stable image by restoring the signal waveform even

when the sync level is too low

•A video bandwidth of over 300MHz that ensures transparent

performance even for the most critical applications

•12 preset memory locations for quick access to common routing

configurations and audio gain status for each output

•Automatic detection of inputs with live connections (the respective

input button lights green)

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

•DC-coupled video inputs and outputs

) for clean

transitions when switching between non-genlocked sources

•Audio-follow-video and breakaway options

•16 VGA (up to UXGA) video inputs on 15-pin HD connectors

•16 unbalanced, stereo audio inputs on 3.5mm mini jacks

•16 VGA (up to UXGA) video outputs on 15-pin HD connectors

•16 balanced stereo audio outputs on 5-pin, removable terminal block

connectors

•Two Twisted Pair outputs on RJ-45 connectors

•Audio level control buttons for adjusting the volume of each input

and output

•Bass and treble control for each output

•The ability to place multiple switching actions in a queue and then to

activate them simultaneously with a one touch button

•The ability to lock the front panel buttons to prevent tampering with

settings

•Support for DDC (Display Data Channel) communication between

input 1 and output 1 high-density 15-pin HD connectors on pins 12

and 15

•Default EDID values programmed on each input

1 In ½ second increments

Overview

You can operate the VP-16x18AK using the front panel buttons, or

remotely via:

•RS-485, RS-232 serial or Ethernet TCP/UDP commands (using

Kramer 2000 and 3000 protocols) transmitted by a touch screen

system, PC or other serial/Ethernet controller

•The Kramer Infrared Remote Control transmitter or Infrared remote

extension cable transmitter (optional)

•Your Web browser using Ethernet communication over a LAN

The VP-16x18AK is dependable, rugged and fits into three vertical spaces

(3U) of a standard 19” professional rack.

3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only high quality connection cables1

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

coils

(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)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer VP-16x18AK away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust

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

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

3.2 Safety Instructions

Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit

Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical

shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

Overview

3.3 Shielded Twisted Pair and Unshielded Twisted Pair

We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress

that the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP

cable. There are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you

to use the best quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free

cable, Kramer BC-STP is intended for analog signals where skewing is not

an issue.

In cases where there is skewing, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-

free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be advantageous, and UTP cable might

also be preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP

cable, it is advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from

electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical

interference.
