Multimedia and presentation source selection

2 VP-81K - 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)

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VP-81K away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

VP-81K - Overview 3

3 Overview

The VP-81K is a high-performance switcher for computer graphics video signals,

with resolutions up to and exceeding UXGA, and unbalanced stereo audio signals.

The unit can switch any one of eight inputs to two identical video outputs, one

balanced and one unbalanced stereo audio outputs.

The VP-81K features:

Very high video bandwidth, ensuring transparent UXGA performance

Audio-follow-video (AFV) in which all operations relate to both the video and

the audio channels, or audio breakaway option, in which video and audio

channels switch independently

Volume control

DDC (Display Data Channel) communication between the selected input and

output 1 high-density 15-pin HD connectors on pins 12 and 15

KR-ISP™ technology, innovative integrated sync processing that lets you

achieve a sharp, stable image even when the sync level is too low, by

restoring the sync signal waveform

The cascade of up to eight units with control from a PC or serial controller

Automatic switching mode (as well as the regular switching mode),

automatically switching to the lowest number input when that input is

connected and active

For example, if INPUT 6 is currently selected and connected and then INPUT 4

receives an active signal, the VP-81K automatically switches to INPUT 4.

Control the VP-81K 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-IR3 Infrared Remote Control Transmitter or infrared remote

extension cable transmitter (optional)

4 VP-81K - Overview

3.1 DDC Support

When establishing a VGA connection between a PC or laptop and a display device, a

set of parameters known as EDID is exchanged between them, which is carried over

the DDC channel. In some PC graphic cards and laptops, this information exchange is

essential for proper VGA OUT operation.

3.2 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a

display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the

display’s source). The EDID enables the VP-81K to “know” what kind of monitor is

connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product

type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data

and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards

Association (VESA).

3.3 Defining the VP-81K 8x1 UXGA/Audio Switcher

# Feature Function

1 POWER Switch Illuminated switch supplying power to the unit

2 IR Receiver The yellow LED is illuminated when receiving signals from the Kramer Infrared remote control transmitter

3 INPUT SELECTOR Buttons Select the input (from 1 to 8) to switch to the outputs

The button illuminates in red if it is selected and there is no input signal

The button illuminates in green if it is not selected but there is an input signal at that input

The button illuminates in violet if it is selected and there is an input signal connected

4 AUDIO Button When illuminated, actions relate to audio

If the AUDIO and VIDEO buttons both illuminate, the unit operates in the audio-follow-video mode

5 VIDEO Button When illuminated, actions relate to video

6 AUDIO

Turn the machine OFF, then turn the machine ON while pressing the FACTORY RESET button.

The unit powers up and loads its memory with the factory default definitions

16 RS-232 9-pin D-sub Port Connects to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port of the next unit in the daisy-chain

17 SETUP DIP-switches DIP-switches for setup of the unit, see Section 5.5

18 REMOTE IR 3.5mm Mini Jack Connect to an external IR receiver unit for controlling the machine via an IR remote controller

(instead of using the front panel IR receiver)

Can be used instead of the front panel (built-in) IR receiver to remotely control the machine, see

Section 3.4

19 RS-485 Detachable Terminal Block Port Pin # 1 is for ground connection, and Pins # 2 and # 3 are for RS-485

20 Power Connector with Fuse AC connector enabling power supply to the unit

VP-81K - Overview 7

3.4 Using the IR Transmitter

You can use the RC-IR3 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in IR

receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver (Model:

C-A35M/IRR-50). The external IR receiver can be located up to 15 meters away

from the machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used

with three extension cables (Model: C-A35M/A35F-50).

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer dealer to

insert the internal IR connection cable (P/N: 505-70434010-S) with the 3.5mm

connector that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the

external IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.
