2 VP-1608 - 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

• Use Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables

• Use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com 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 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 VP-1608 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

VP-1608 - Overview 3

3 Overview

The VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix is a true matrix switcher,

routing any input to any or all outputs. The VP-1608 includes 16 input and 8 output

selector buttons.

The unit features:

• A bandwidth of 400MHz (fully loaded) for RGB signals

• A unique vertical and horizontal sync-pulse solution

• Audio-follow-video or audio breakaway option (to switch audio independently

from video)

• 15 preset memory locations for quick access to common configurations

• A “TAKE” button for precise switch control, letting you place multiple switches

in a queue, and then activate them, with one touch of this button or a single

serial command

• A delayed switching mode (ranging from 0 to 3.5sec in increments of

0.5sec), for clean transitions when switching between non-genlocked

sources

Control the VP-1608 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

• RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands—that also support audio gain

adjustments for each input and output—transmitted by a touch screen

system, PC, or other serial controller

• The Kramer RC-IR3 Infrared Remote Control Transmitter

The VP-1608 is dependable, rugged and fits into three vertical spaces (3U) of a

standard 19" rack.

3 OUTPUT SELECTOR

Buttons

Select the output to which the input is switched (from 1 to 8)

4 INPUT SELECTOR Buttons Select the input to switch to the output (from 1 to 16)

Use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons to store/recall the input/output configurations (refer to Section 7.4)

5 ALL Button Pressing ALL followed by an INPUT button, connects that input to all outputs

For example, press ALL and then INPUT button # 2 to connect input # 2 to all the outputs

6 OFF Button Pressing OFF after pressing an OUTPUT button disconnects that output from the inputs. To disconnect

all the outputs, press the ALL button and then the OFF button

7 TAKE Button Pressing TAKE toggles the mode between the CONFIRM mode and the AT ONCE mode (user

confirmation per action is unnecessary)

8 VIDEO Button When pressed actions relate to video

9 AUDIO Button When pressed actions relate to audio

10 AFV Button When pressed audio channels follow the video channels. The button is illuminated when the AFV mode

is selected

11 STO Button Pressing STO (STORE) followed by an input button stores the current setup

12 RCL Button Pressing the RCL (RECALL) button and the corresponding input button recalls a setup

After pressing the button, the stored status flashes. Pressing a different input button lets you view (only

view, nothing is implemented at this stage) another setup. After making your choice, pressing the RCL

button again implements the new status

13 LOCK Button Pressing the LOCK button for more than 2 seconds, engages/disengages the front panel switches

14 INPUT STATUS 7-segment

Display

Displays the selected input switched to the output (marked above each input)

Also displays the number included in the product name and the firmware version number, as Section 7.8

describes
