3 Overview

The VP-81KSi routes any input to both outputs, using 15-pin HD female connectors

for the computer graphics video signals, a 3.5mm mini jack for the unbalanced stereo

audio Output 1 signal, and a detachable terminal block connector for the balanced

stereo audio Output 2 signal.

In particular, the VP-81KSi:

• Has a very high video bandwidth ensuring transparent WUXGA performance

• Features 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 are switched independently

• Features volume control

• Includes the Kramer innovative integrated sync processing Kr-isp™

technology, which lets you achieve a sharp, stable image even when the sync

level is too low, by restoring the sync signal waveform

• Up to eight units can be cascaded to provide a single “virtual” switcher with

up to 57 inputs

• Supports the SI-1VGA Remote Step-in Panel for remote inputs and remote

step-in control

You can control the VP-81KSi 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 over a LAN using a Web browser

• The SI-1VGA Remote Step-in Panel

• The Kramer RC-IR3 Infrared Remote Control Transmitter or infrared remote

extension cable transmitter (optional)

• Remote, contact closure switches

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 that may adversely

influence signal quality and position your VP-81KSi away from moisture,

excessive sunlight and dust
