3 Overview
The high performance VP-885 is a multiformat matrix switcher for composite video,
s-Video, component video (Y, Cb/Pb, and Cr/Pr), balanced stereo audio, and S/PDIF
digital audio signals. It can route any or all inputs to any or all outputs
simultaneously. The VP-885 8x8 Multiformat Video/Balanced Audio Matrix
Switcher features:
•
High Bandwidth (350MHz @-3dB) fully loaded
•
HDTV compatibility
•
A TAKE button to execute multiple switches all at once
•
Memory locations that can be used to store multiple switches as presets to be
recalled and executed when needed
•
Audio (analog) breakaway switching, for switching audio independently from
video
The VP-885 is housed in a 19” 3U rack mountable enclosure.
In addition, the VP-885 can be used for mixed video applications such as CV, Y/C
and YUV simultaneously.
Control the VP-885 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
•
RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands (using Kramer 2000 and 3000 protocols)
transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller
•
The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter RC-IR3 (included) or infrared
remote extension cable transmitter (optional)
•
The Ethernet port
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables
•
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality and position your Kramer VP-885 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated
with low quality cables).
