Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VP-436 is a high quality presentation switcher and scaler. It

accepts one of seven inputs: a component video1

The VP-436is HDTV compatible and the resolution can be up- or down-

scaled as follows:

on RCA connectors, computer

graphics on a 15-pin HD connector, composite video on an RCA connector,

s-Video on a 4-pin connector and two HDMI signals. It scales the video,

embeds the audio, and outputs the signal to the HDMI output as well as to a

computer graphics output, an RGBHV video output together with a digital audio

output and an analog stereo audio output.

Native, VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p2 2

The VP-436 Presentation Switcher / Scaler:

•Has analog audio inputs and digital (S/PDIF) and analog stereo audio

outputs

•Automatically detects and selects the audio source for the HDMI input.

Default selection is HDMI – if this is not present, then the machine uses

the audio from the analog input

•Comes with an On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment,

accessible via the IR remote control and via the front-panel buttons

•Is HDCP Compliant - The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection)

license agreement allows copy-protected data on the HDMI input to pass

only to the HDMI output

•Has a non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used

•Supports firmware upgrade3

Control your VP-436:

via RS-232

•Directly, via the front panel push buttons

•By RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or

other serial controller

•Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter

The VP-436is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”

included, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.

Overview

3.1 About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital1

In particular, HDMI

audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema

industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound quality. Note

that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.

•Provides a simple

3interface between any audio/video source, such as a

set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a

digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy4

•Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel

digital audio

cable

•Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital

audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and

requirements

on a single cable

•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video

quality via a single cable6

•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

, and user-friendly connector

•Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a

DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as

automatic configuration and one-button play

HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats

(720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60), standard definition formats such as NTSC or

PAL, as well as 480p and 576p.

1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-

to-analog conversions

2 HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI

licensing LLC

3 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables

currently used in A/V systems is reduced

4 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m

5 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to

support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats

6 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a

simple, cost-effective manner

3.2 Recommendations for Best Performance

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-436 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
