VP-506 - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VP-506 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

5 Operating the VP-506

You can operate your VP-506 via the front panel buttons, which are dual-purpose

buttons (except for the MENU button) that function as:

Quick-set buttons: FREEZE and OS/US; or

Menu buttons: MENU, ENTER, –and +

This section describes how to:

Use the quick set buttons (see Section 5.1)

Use the set of menu buttons (see Section 5.2)

Use the Menu screen (see Section 5.3)

Use the test patterns (see Section 5.4)

Save and recall (see Section 5.5)

5.1 Using the Quick-Set Buttons

The following sub-sections describe the VP-506 quick set buttons.

5.1.1 Using the FREEZE Button

Press the FREEZE button to freeze the picture on the screen. The frozen picture is

displayed regardless of the signal on the input to the unit. This allows you, for example,

to change the programs on the PC, and set up the next image.

By pressing the FREEZE button again, the frozen image will be replaced by the

most current image on the input to the unit.

5.1.2 Using the OS/US Button

Press the OS/US button to toggle between overscan and underscan:

Overscan generally has no border and the displayed image is usually larger

than the screen

This makes the data bigger and easier to read with the possibility of having some of it

run off the edge of the screen.
