Overview

3 Overview

The high performance VP-88ETH/VP-84ETH/VP-82ETH/VP-66ETH/

VP-64ETH RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher is designed for high-

resolution computer graphics signals and balanced stereo audio signals. Each

machine is a true matrix, routing any input to any or all outputs simultaneously.

In particular, the RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher:

Consists of three large bandwidth video channels, Red, Green and Blue

(RGB) and two TTL (logic level) channels – Horizontal and Vertical sync

Switches channels during the vertical interval, offering glitch free

transitions when sources share a common reference sync

Provides Audio breakaway, for switching audio independently from video

Offers preset memory locations for quick access to common

configurations

Includes the TAKE button, which lets you place multiple switches in a

queue and then activate them with one touch of this button

Can be used for mixed video applications such as CV, Y/C and YUV

simultaneously

Includes an ETHERNET connection that supports easy dial-up and Internet

system remote control (requiring only a dedicated IP address

and a modem in

the remote location) whether it is a stand-alone PC or a LAN

system

Control the VP-88ETH/VP-84ETH/VP-82ETH/VP-66ETH/VP-64ETH

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

ETHERNET

The Kramer RC-IR2 Infra-Red Remote Control Transmitter

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

The VP-88ETH/VP-84ETH/VP-82ETH/VP-66ETH/VP-64ETH is dependable,

rugged and fits into three vertical spaces (3U) of a standard 19" rack.

1 IP Address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver (within a network via a particular server or

workstation) of data (HTML pages or e-mails) that is sent in packets across the Internet. Every device connected to an IP

network must have a unique IP address. This address is used to reference the specific unit

2 LAN is Local Area Network

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher

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-88ETH / VP-84ETH / VP-82ETH / VP-66ETH /

VP-64ETH away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4 Your RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher

This section describes each switcher as follows:

VP-88ETH (see Figure 1)

VP-84ETH (see Figure 2)

VP-82ETH (see Figure 3)

VP-66ETH (see Figure 4)

VP-64ETH (see Figure 5)
