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 address 1 and a modem in the remote
location) whether it is a stand-alone PC or a LAN 2
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
