Getting to Know Your VP-61xl Switcher
The Kramer
VP-61xl is a 6x1 switcher for VGA/XGA and Balanced Stereo
Audio signals. It is designed to route one of up to six inputs to one output using
15pin HD female connectors for the VGA/XGA signals, and detachable terminal
block connectors for audio. Bandwidth exceeding 400MHz ensures transparent
VGA/XGA performance. The inputs and output are directly coupled, and
conform to the highest standards. The
VP-61xl can be controlled by front panel
switches, or remotely by RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, personal computer, or other serial control device. It is housed in a
rugged, professional rack mountable enclosure.
