VS-88HDCPxl - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to 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

Position your Kramer VS-88HDCPxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Memory Locations - Stores multiple switches as presets to be recalled and

executed when needed

Worldwide Power Supply - 100-240V AC

Standard 19-inch Rack Mount Size - 2U. Rack “ears” included

VS-88HDCPxl - Overview

You can control the VS-88HDCPxl using the front panel buttons or remotely via:

RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC or other

serial controller

The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter

The Ethernet port

An external remote IR receiver (optional), see Section 3.3

3.1 About Fast Switching

Older display devices required a longer time between the loss of one digital signal

and the introduction of another, as well as a physical disconnection of the

interconnecting cable in order to be able to detect and adjust to the new video

attributes and parameters. Normal switching, therefore, introduced a 5V signal

disconnection along with a delay in switching. Many newer display devices,

however, are now capable of “on-the-fly” switching.

Depending on the display device in use, the VS-88HDCPxl allows for fast

switching (minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no

reset and the connection kept alive). Using the fast and extra fast switching modes

allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using high performance

display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.
