KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your VP-1201 12x1 XGA Switcher / Scanner

The VP-1201 features:

 A bandwidth of 400MHz for RGB signals

 Input signal detection

 Manual switching or automatic scanning of inputs (or Valid-Only inputs)

 Signal switching delay time, ranging from 1 to 16 seconds

Control the VP-1201 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

 RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system,

PC, or other serial controller

 ETHERNET

 The Kramer RC-IR1 Infra-Red Remote Control Transmitter

The VP-1201 is dependable, rugged and fits into one vertical space (1U) 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 (often associated with low quality cables)

 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position

your Kramer VP-1201 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
