Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VP-505 3G HD-SDI to Video Scan Converter is a high-quality scan

converter for down-scaling SDI, HD-SDI and 3G HD-SDI signals to PAL or

NTSC video.

The VP-505 also features:

•A maximum data rate of 3Gbps

•An SDI input

•An equalized and re-clocked loop output (up to 3G HD-SDI)

•Multi-standard operation: SDI (SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 344M), HD-SDI

(SMPTE 292M) and 3G HD-SDI (SMPTE 424M)

•Simultaneous high-quality composite video and s-Video (Y/C) outputs

•A unbalanced stereo audio output

•An OSD (On-screen Display) accessible via the front panel buttons for easy

setup and adjustment

•A built-in ProcAmp for convenient signal adjustment

•A non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used

•A freeze button

•An external 5V DC source, making it suitable for field operation

•Operation directly via the front panel push buttons and the OSD

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

to avoid interference, deterioration

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

associated with low quality cables)

•Position your Kramer VP-505 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing
