Terminology used in this user manual (see section 3.4)

3.1 About the VP-23RC

The VP-23RC is a high quality all-in-one Presentation Switcher and Media/Room

Controller, which lets you control A/V equipment and room items such as window

blinds, room lights, and a projector lift. The VP-23RC includes two major

sections: the Presentation Switcher section and the Media/Room Controller

section, each of which can be operated independently, or in tandem.

3.1.1 Understanding the Presentation Switcher Section

The Presentation Switcher section includes three independent 4x1 audio/video

switchers

, and a master audio switcher

The VP-23RC Presentation Switcher section features:

Three sets of four selector buttons (for composite video and audio, s-Video

and audio, and VGA/UXGA and audio), and four master audio selector

buttons (CV, s-Video, VGA/UXGA and Mic). Each of these 16 selector

buttons lets you select the inputs to switch to the outputs and can be

configured

to carry out a sequence of up to 15 commands (a macro) so

that when pressing a configured button, the switching action is followed

by a macro sequence

VGA/UXGA video bandwidth of 350MHz to ensure transparent

performance even in the most critical applications, and is HDTV compatible

Composite/SDI video bandwidth of 650MHz, an s-Video bandwidth of

385MHz, and a CAT 5 bandwidth of 158MHz

1 A 4x1 switcher for composite video and audio, a 4x1 switcher for s-Video and audio, and a 4x1 switcher for computer

graphics (VGA/UXGA) signals with audio

2 That routes one of the pre-selected audio inputs (from these three switchers) to two separate outputs

3 By the system integrator

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

Digital microphone input level control and digital master audio level

control

Microphone talk-over mode

A CAT 5 output, with a transmission range of more than 300 feet (over 100

meters) that transmits VGA/UXGA signals

to a remote acceptor via a

receiver

An internal 5-Watt per channel (24kHz, 3dB) power amplifier for

connecting the speakers directly to the machine

A panel LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel

Recall of the previous setup from non-volatile memory

Audio output level change (via RS-232)

3.1.2 Understanding the Media / Room Controller Section

The Media/Room Controller section controls A/V equipment—especially

projectors and associated equipment

—in media rooms (such as classrooms,

boardrooms, or auditoriums), as well as room functions such as lights, blinds,

a projector lift and/or a screen motor.

The VP-23RC Media/Room Controller section includes:

Eight configurable buttons to set up any supported commands

An Ethernet port

for configuration and control

Two bidirectional RS-232

serial ports for universal display (for example,

projectors) and control of the VP-23RC (or other) switcher

Four relays for the simplified and centralized control of room functions

(such as lights, blinds, screen settings, and so on). The relays have

normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts

Three IR control ports

An IR-learner for the customized remote transmitters, without the need for

an external unit IR remote control

Macro mode operation, for programming up to 15 commands with the

press of a single button

Firmware upgrade support

1 The microphone input signal lowers the line audio output level when the connected microphone detects sound

2 Excludes audio

3 Including the A/V equipment connected to the VP-23RC Presentation Switcher section

4 Also for controlling the Presentation Switcher section

5 The RS-232 terminal block port (item 14 in Figure 3) is also used for firmware upgrade

Overview

3.1.3 Controlling the VP-23RC

Control the VP-23RC using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

RS-232

serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or

other serial controller

The Kramer Infrared remote control transmitter

The ETHERNET

The VP-23RC is dependable, rugged, and fits into two vertical spaces (2U) of

a standard 19” professional rack.

1 The RS-232 port (item 24 in Figure 3) located in the SWITCHER CONTROL area of the rear panel

2 The Ethernet port is located in the CONTROLLER area of the rear panel and is also used for configuration of the

media/room controller section by the system integrator

Overview

3.2 Connecting the VP-23RC Rear Panel

The VP-23RC can be connected in different configurations, integrating the

Presentation Switcher section with the Media/Room Controller section. The

block diagram in Figure 1 shows a VP-23RC configuration example:

IR Emitters

Relays

RS-232

Figure 1: VP-23RC Configuration Example

In this example:

Three VIDEO sources are connected to the inputs

The three VIDEO outputs are all connected to the same projector

The projector is connected to the RS-232 port in the CONTROLLER area

Two of the video sources are also connected to the IR terminal blocks

A CAT 5 UXGA receiver is connected

Various room items are connected to the RELAY terminal blocks

A microphone and speakers are connected, as well as the audio inputs and

outputs
