3 Overview
The VP-81xl, VP-161xl, and VP-321xl route any input to the output, using
15-pin HD female connectors for the VGA/XGA signals, and detachable
terminal block connectors for the balanced stereo audio.
In particular, the VP-81xl, VP-161xl, and VP-321xl include:
 Very high video bandwidth, ensuring transparent VGA/XGA performance
 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 switch independently
 An ability to cascade up to seven units to increase the number of inputs
 High standard directly coupled inputs and outputs
 Compatibility with the Kramer VPM-2 XGA Line Driver wall plate
 Control from the front panel, or via RS-232/RS-485 serial commands
transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial control device, as
well as via an infra-red remote controller, or via 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-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
