Overview

3 Overview

The high performance VP-88K RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher is

designed for high-resolution computer video graphics signals and balanced stereo

audio signals. Each machine is a true matrix, routing any input to any or all outputs

simultaneously.

In particular, the VP-88K RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher features:

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

you achieve a sharp stable image by restoring the signal waveform, even when

the sync level is too low

•Three high bandwidth video channels, Red, Green and Blue (RGB) and two

TTL (logic level) channels – Horizontal and Vertical sync

•Channel switching during the vertical interval, offering glitch-free transitions

when sources share a common reference sync

•Audio breakaway, for switching audio independently from video

•Preset memory locations for quick access to common configurations

•A TAKE button, which lets you place multiple switches in a queue and then

activate them with one touch of the TAKE button

•Mixed video application usage, such as CV, Y/C, and YUV simultaneously

•An Ethernet connection that supports easy dial-up and Internet system remote

control (requiring only a dedicated IP address1and a modem in the remote

location) whether it is a stand-alone PC or a LAN2

Control the VP-88K using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

system

•RS-485

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

serial controller (Protocol 2000 and Protocol 3000)

•Ethernet

•The Kramer RC-IR3 Infrared Remote Control Transmitter

•An (optional) external remote IR receiver (see Section 4.1

The VP-88K is dependable, rugged, and fits into three vertical spaces (3U) of a

standard 19" rack.

)

To achieve the best performance:

•Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

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

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your

Kramer VP-88K away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

1 IP Address is 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

2 LAN is Local Area Network
