Overview

3 Overview

The VP-8x8TP is a high performance 8x8 computer graphics video and audio

matrix switcher for high resolution video and stereo audio signals. The VP-8x8TP

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

TP (Twisted Pair) cable to compatible TP receivers.

In particular, the VP-8x8TP 8x8 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

•Resolution up to UXGA (1600 x 1200), 1080p

•Support for component video with suitable breakout cables1

•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

lights)

•A delayed switching mode (ranging from 0 to 3.5sec2

•DC-coupled video inputs and outputs

) for clean transitions

(seamless switching) when switching between non-genlocked sources

•Audio-follow-video and breakaway options

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

•Eight RJ-45 STP/UTP output connectors

•Over 100m (330ft) transmission range between the switcher and the TP

receiver

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

•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

The VP-8x8TP can be controlled 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)

•A Web browser over Ethernet

The VP-8x8TP is dependable, rugged, and fits into one vertical space (1U) of a

standard 19” professional rack.

Overview

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality and position your Kramer VP-8x8TP away from

moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

to avoid interference, deterioration

in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

3.1 Terminology Used in this User Manual

Table 1 defines some terms that are used in this user manual.

Table 1: Terminology Used in this Manual

Term

Definition

802.3 The standard specification for Ethernet that is maintained by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP) Allows the network administrator to distribute IP addresses from a central point and

automatically send a new IP address when an Ethernet point is plugged into a different

network location.

Gateway A network position serving as an entry to another network. On the Internet, a node or

stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node.

IP Address 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.

Local Area Network (LAN) Computers sharing a common communications line or wireless link, which often share a

server within a defined geographic area.

Media Access Control (MAC)

Address

A computer's unique hardware number (or address) in a LAN or other network. On an

Ethernet LAN, the (MAC) address is identical to the Ethernet address.

Transmission Control

Protocol/Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP)

The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet that breaks the message

into appropriately sized packets for the network, and can be used as a communications

protocol in an intranet or an extranet.

3.2 18BShielded Twisted Pair and Unshielded Twisted Pair

We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. There are

different grades of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best quality

STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP is

intended for digital signals and for analog signals where skewing is not an issue.

For cases where skewing occurs, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may

be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where possible,

since the compliance to electromagnetic interference has been tested using STP

cables.

Although Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long range

applications, UTP cable should be installed as far as possible from electric cables,

motors, and so on, as these devices tend to create electromagnetic interference.

However, since the use of UTP cable might not conform to electromagnetic

standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

Overview

3.3 Defining the EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID1

3.4 The Power Connect™ Feature in the VP-8x8TP

) is a data-structure, provided by

a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the

display’s source). The EDID enables the PC or laptop to “know” what kind of

monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name,

the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size,

luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. This

feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m

(164ft) on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should

be used (CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for

feeding the power at these distances). For units which are connected via RJ-45

connectors, make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal

casing of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected

via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be connected to a

ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground terminal of the power

supply connection if necessary).

For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be

connected to the receivers simultaneously.

Note: The transmitter can supply power to the receiver but not visa versa.
