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 video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis.
2 Getting Started We recommend that you: Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment Review the contents of this user manual i 2.1 Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.2 Safety Instructions ! 2.3 Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with the unit Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing Recycling Kramer Products The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled.
3 Overview The VP−311DVI is a high−performance switcher for DVI−D video, stereo and S/PDIF audio signals. When configured as a standby switcher, the selected input switches to the next highest priority input if the signal is interrupted. The VP-311DVI features: A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.
The VP-311DVI is housed in a desktop-sized enclosure and is 12V DC fed. Control the VP-311DVI using the front panel buttons, or remotely via: RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller 3.1 The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter The ETHERNET Remote control contact closure Terminology Used in this User Manual This table defines some terms that are used in this user manual.

3.2 Defining the VP-311DVI Automatic DVI/Audio Switcher This section defines the VP-311DVI.
4 Connecting the VP-311DVI i Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VP-311DVI. After connecting your VP-311DVI, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device. To connect the VP-311DVI as illustrated in the example in Figure 2: 1. Connect a DVI source (for example, an HDCP-compliant DVD) to the IN 1 DVI connector and connect the digital audio input to the IN 1 S/PDIF RCA connector.
Figure 2: Connecting the VP-311DVI Automatic DVI/Audio Switcher 4.1 Setting the DIP-switches This section describes the machine set-up and DIP-switch selection. By default, all the VP-311DVI DIP-switches are set to OFF. Figure 3 describes the VP-311DVI unit DIP-switches.
Inputs 1, 2 and 3 can be set in priority according to your needs. The VP-311DVI switches to the secondary input upon loss of the primary input signal, and back to the primary input when a signal is detected. The following table describes the priority setup: Priority 1, 2, 3 OFF DIP Position OFF OFF ON ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF ON ON 2, 3, 1 OFF ON OFF 1, 3, 2 ON OFF OFF 3, 1, 2 ON OFF ON 2, 1, 3 ON ON OFF 3, 2, 1 4.1.
! DO NOT Connect more than one PIN to the Ground PIN at the same time To route IN 1 to the output, temporarily attach PIN 1 to PIN G (Ground) To route IN 2 to the output, temporarily attach PIN 2 to PIN G (Ground) To route IN 3 to the output, temporarily attach PIN 3 to PIN G (Ground) Figure 4: Connecting the Contact Closure Remote Control PINS 4.3 Connecting to the VP-311DVI via RS-232 You can connect to the unit via a crossed RS-232 connection, using for example, a PC.
adapter to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC. The straight cable usually contains all nine wires for a full connection of the D-sub connector. Because the null-modem adapter (which already includes the flow control jumpering described in Method A above) only requires pins 2, 3 and 5 to be connected, you are free to decide whether to connect only these 3 pins or all 9 pins. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Null-Modem Adapter to PC Figure 6: Straight Cable RS-232 Connection with a Null Modem Adapter 4.
3. Highlight the network adapter you want to use to connect to the device and click Change settings of this connection. The Local Area Connection Properties window for the selected network adapter appears as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7: Local Area Connection Properties Window 4. Highlight either Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) or Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) depending on the requirements of your IT system. 5. Click Properties.
