Introduction 1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our 1,000-plus different models now appear in 11 groups 1 that are clearly defined by function.
Getting Started 2.1 Quick Start This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
Overview 3 Overview The Kramer SP-12HD is a multi-standard/multi-format, broadcast-quality video processor and ProcAmp. It is a universal single-box solution for all your video processing requirements. The SP-12HD HD-SDI Processor features the following: • Inputs: composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV), SD/HD-SDI • Outputs 1: composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV), SD/HD-SDI (2 outputs), “Before/after” split-screen • Input Video Standards: composite PAL-B, PAL-M, PAL-N, NTSC-3.
Your SP-12HD HD-SDI Processor To achieve the best performance: • Use only good quality connection cables 1 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 and position your Kramer SP-12HD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 4 Your SP-12HD HD-SDI Processor Figure 1 and Table 1 define the unit.
