3 Overview The Kramer VP-690 is a high quality presentation switcher and scaler. It accepts one of nine inputs: one SD/HD/3G HD-SDI signal, two HDMI signals, two computer graphics signals on 15-pin HD connectors, two composite video signals on RCA connectors and two component video (also known as Y, Pb, Pr, Y, Cb, Cr and YUV; compatible with both SD and HD component ) signals on RCA connectors.
Control your VP-690: Directly, via the front panel push buttons By RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter Via the Ethernet The VP-690 is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears” included, and is fed from a 100-240V AC universal switching power supply. 3.1 Defining the VP-690 Presentation Switcher/Scaler This section defines the VP-690.

4 Installing in a Rack This section provides instructions for rack mounting the unit.
5 Connecting the VP-690 ! i Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VP-690. After connecting your VP-690, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device. You do not have to connect all the inputs and outputs, connect only those that are required. To connect the VP-690, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the following: 1. Connect an SDI source (for example, a non-linear editor) to the SDI IN BNC connector. 2.
9. Connect the HDMI VIDEO OUTPUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a plasma display). 10. Connect the VGA VIDEO OUTPUT 15-pin HD connector to a VGA acceptor (for example, a projector). 11. Connect the audio output signals to the AUDIO OUTPUTS stereo analog audio acceptor and/or the digital audio acceptor, as required (not shown in Figure 3). 12. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 3). 13. If required, connect: A PC via RS-232, see Section 6.3 The ETHERNET port, see Section 6.
6 Controlling the VP-690 The VP-690 can be controlled via: The front panel buttons (see Section 6.1) The OSD menu (see Section 6.2) RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller (see Section 6.3) 6.1 The ETHERNET (see Section 6.4) The infrared remote control transmitter (see Section 6.
6.2.1 The MAIN MENU Mode CONTRAST Function Set the contrast The range and default values vary according to the input signal BRIGHTNESS Set the brightness The range and default values vary according to the input signal FINETUNE (see Section 6.2.
Mode HDCP ON OUTPUT Function Select Follow Input or Follow Output to define whether the HDCP will follow the input or the output When Follow Input is selected, the scaler changes its HDCP output setting (for the HDMI output) according to the HDCP of the input. This option is recommended when the HDMI scaler output is connected to a splitter/switcher When Follow Output is selected, the scaler matches its HDCP output to the HDCP setting of the HDMI acceptor to which it is connected.

6.3 Connecting to the VP-690 via RS-232 You can connect to the VP-690 via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required. To connect to the VP-690 via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the VP-690 unit via a 9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC. 6.
