KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-4x4xl is a true 4x4 matrix switcher for computer graphics (up to UXGA)

signals and balanced stereo audio signals. The VP-4x4xl enables the user to

simultaneously route any or all of the four inputs to any or all of the four outputs.

In addition, the VP-4x4xl includes:

A video bandwidth of 300MHz that ensures transparent UXGA performance

Easy-to-connect detachable terminal block connectors on which the audio

signals reside

DC coupled inputs and outputs

A delayed switching mode (ranging from 0 to 3.5sec

) 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 (respective button

illuminates in green)

Control the VP-4x4xl using 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-IR2 Infra-Red Remote Control Transmitter

An external remote IR receiver (optional), see section 4.1

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-4x4xl

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4.1 Using the IR Transmitter

You can use the RC-IR2 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in

IR receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver

The external IR receiver can be located 15 meters away from the machine.

This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used with three

extension cables

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer

dealer to insert the internal IR connection cable

with the 3.5mm connector

that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel.

Connect the external IRreceiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.

1 Covered by a cap. The 3.5mm connector at the end of the internal IR connection cable fits through this opening

2 Optional. Can be used instead of the front panel (built-in) IR receiver to remotely control the machine (only if the internal

IR connection cable has been installed)

Installing the VP-4x4xl on a Rack

5 Installing the VP-4x4xl on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack

mount.

Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

5 to 65% RHL, non-condensing

-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

Operating humidity range

Storage temperature range

Storage humidity range

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking

care that:

It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the

room ambient temperature.

Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the machine

(3 on each side), and replace those

screws through the ear brackets.

Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided) through

each of the four holes in the rack

ears.

Note that:

Detachable rack ears can be removed

for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the rack

before you attach any cables or

connect the machine to the power

If you are using a Kramer rack adapter

kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see

the Rack Adapters user manual for

installation instructions (you can

download it at:

http://www.kramerelectronics.com)



In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the

machine.

The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal

position.

You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product

label.

The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention

and that you use only the power cord that is

supplied with the machine.

to situations where

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord is

not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a power

strip,
