Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-4x4Kis a true 4x4 matrix switcher for computer graphics (up to and

exceeding UXGA) signals and balanced stereo audio signals. The VP-4x4Klets

you simultaneously route any or all of the four inputs to any or all of the four

outputs.

In addition, the VP-4x4Kfeatures:

•A video bandwidth of 400MHz that ensures transparent UXGA performance

•DC coupled inputs and outputs

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

•Audio gain control for the inputs and the outputs

) for clean

transitions (seamless switching) when switching between non-genlocked

sources

•Audio-follow-video and breakaway options

•Storing and recalling setup options

•A TAKE button for precise switch control that lets you execute multiple

switches all at once

•A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel

•The ability to automatically detect connected input signals (the respective

button illuminates in green)

•Our innovative integrated sync processing; KRISP™ technology that lets

you achieve a sharp, stable image when the sync level is too low, by

restoring the sync signal waveform

Control the VP-4x4Kusing the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

•RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system,

PC, or other serial controller

•The Kramer RC-IR3 infrared remote control transmitter

•The ETHERNET

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 that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VP-4x4K

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Function

1 POWER Switch Illuminated switch for turning the unit ON or OFF

2 IR Receiver Signals from the remote control transmitter illuminate the LED

3 SELECTOR Buttons OUT Select the output to which the input is switched

IN Select the input to switch to the output

When a signal is detected, the input button illuminates in green

4 ALL Button Pressing ALL before pressing an input button connects that input to

all outputs2

OFF Button Pressing OFF after pressing an output button disconnects that

output from the inputs. To disconnect all the outputs, press the ALL

button and then the OFF button

6 AFV Button When illuminated, the audio channels follow the video channels

The button is illuminated when the AFV mode is selected

VID Button When illuminated4

STO

Pressing STO (STORE) followed by an output or an input button

stores the current setting

Button 7

LOCK6Button Disengages the front panel switches

11 RCL

Pressing RCL (RECALL) followed by an output or an input button

displays a stored setup

Button

12 TAKE

Button Pressing TAKE toggles the mode between the CONFIRM mode

and the AT ONCE mode (user confirmation per action is

unnecessary). When in CONFIRM mode, actions are confirmed by

pressing the TAKE key

AUDIO GAIN Button Press to adjust the audio input or output gain (see section 7.2)

14 - Button

Press to decrease the numerical value

+ Button

Press to increase the numerical value

16 STATUS 7-segment Display Displays the selected input switched to the output (marked above

each input)12

1 The SELECTOR IN and OUT buttons also store/recall the input/output configurations (see section 7.8)

2 For example, press ALL and then Input button # 2 to connect input # 2 to all the outputs

3 If the AUDIO differs from the VIDEO, the TAKE button will flash, and you have to press the TAKE button to confirm the

modification

4 The VID button is illuminated when in breakaway mode and actions relate to video

5 The AUD button is illuminated when in breakaway mode and actions relate to audio

6 Press the STO and LOCK buttons simultaneously to set the delay time (see section 7.3)

7 For example, press STO and then the Output button # 3 to store in Setup # 3 (see section 7.8)

8 Press the RCL and TAKE button simultaneously to set the machine number (see section 7.4)

9 When in the CONFIRM mode, the TAKE button illuminates

10 By pressing the + or - buttons continuously, you can speed up their response. For step-by-step response, press and release

these buttons as many times as needed

11 Gain, switching delay time and machine number
