2.1 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill

or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with

the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the

European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of

treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded

equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling

arrangements in your particular country go to our recycling pages at

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-8x8AK is a high performance 8x8 computer graphics video matrix

switcher for high-resolution video and stereo audio signals. The VP-8x8AK

is HDTV compatible and lets you route any combination of inputs and

outputs.

In particular, the VP-8x8AK 8x8 VGA / UXGA / Audio Matrix Switcher

features:

•Kramer’s innovative integrated sync processing; Kr-isp® technology that

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

restoring the sync signal waveform

•A video bandwidth of over 360MHz that ensures transparent performance

even in the most critical applications

•16 preset memory locations for quick access to common video and audio

configurations and audio gain status for each output

•Automatic detection of the connected input signals (the respective button

illuminates)

•A delayed switching mode (ranging from 0 to 3.5sec1) for clean

transitions when switching between non-genlocked sources

•DC-coupled video inputs and outputs

•Audio-follow-video and breakaway options

•Eight stereo unbalanced stereo audio input signals on 3.5mm mini plugs

•Eight balanced stereo audio output signals on 5-pin terminal block

connectors

•Audio level control buttons for adjusting the signal level of each input

and each output

•Measurement and indication of the audio level for each input and output,

in relative dB

•A TAKE button, which allows you to place multiple switches in a queue

and then activate them simultaneously with one touch of this button

•A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel

•Supports DDC (Display Data Channel) communication between selected

input 1 and output 1 high-density 15-pin HD connectors on pins 12 and 15

•Control via embedded Web pages

1 In increments of 0.5sec

Your VP-8x8AK 8x8 VGA / UXGA / Audio Matrix Switcher

Control the VP-8x8AK using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

•RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands (using Kramer 2000 and 3000

protocols) transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial

controller

•The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter or infrared remote

extension cable transmitter (optional)

•Ethernet over a LAN

The VP-8x8AK is dependable, rugged, and fits into two vertical spaces (2U)

of a standard 19” professional rack.

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1to avoid interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise

levels (often associated with low quality cables)

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VP-8x8AK

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
