VP-311DVI - 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

Review the contents of this user manual

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).

2.1 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-311DVI 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.

VP-311DVI - Overview

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 (1.65 Gbps per graphic channel)

HDTV compatibility

HDCP compliance

HDMI support for HDMI Compressed Audio Channels

Input/output - DVI−D signals (on DVI−I connectors)

Standby switching priority set with user−definable DIP−switches

The VP-311DVI switches any one of three DVI-D HDCP compliant sources to a

single display device, on DVI-I connectors with the corresponding:

Digital audio (S/PDIF) input signals switched to an S/PDIF output, on RCA

connectors or

Unbalanced stereo audio input signals on 3.5mm mini jack connectors

switched to an unbalanced stereo audio output on a 3.5mm mini jack

connector, as well as to a balanced stereo audio output on a 5-pin terminal

block connector

The VP-311DVI can operate either in the manual mode or in the auto mode:

In the manual mode, the VP-311DVI acts as a regular switcher, switching the

input video and audio signals to the output via the three front panel INPUT

SELECT buttons.

In the auto mode, you can switch any input to the output via the three front

panel INPUT SELECT buttons, but once the selected video signal is lost, the

machine automatically switches to the highest priorityinput, according to the

input priority setup. The VP-311DVI switches back to the primary input when

a DVI signal is detected on that input.

VP-311DVI - Overview

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

The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter

The ETHERNET

Remote control contact closure

3.1 Terminology Used in this User Manual

This table defines some terms that are used in this user manual.

Term

Definition

802.3

The standard specification for ETHERNET that is maintained by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Dynamic Host

Configuration

Protocol (DHCP)

Allows the network administrator to distribute IP addresses from a

central point and automatically send a new IP address when an

Ethernet point is plugged into a different network location.

Gateway

A network position serving as an entry to another network. On the

Internet, a node or stopping point can be either a gateway node or a

host (end-point) node.

IP Address

A 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver

(within a network via a particular server or workstation) of data

(HTML pages or emails) that is sent in packets across the Internet.

Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP

address. This address is used to reference the specific unit.

Local Area Network

(LAN)

Computers sharing a common communications line or wireless link,

which often share a server within a defined geographic area.

Media Access

Control (MAC)

Address

A computer's unique hardware number (or address) in a LAN or

other network. On an Ethernet LAN, the (MAC) address is identical to

the Ethernet address.

Transmission

Control

Protocol/Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP)

The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet that

breaks the message into appropriately sized packets for the network,

and can be used as a communications protocol in an intranet or an

extranet.

4 Connecting the VP-311DVI

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.

You can also connect a DVD player with an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

connector, using an HDMI-DVI adapter to transfer video signals.

2. Connect a DVI source (for example, a DVI computer graphics source) to the

IN 3 DVI connector and connect the digital audio input to the IN 3 3.5 mini-

jack connector.

Alternatively you can connect it to the 3.5mm mini jack connector.

3. Connect the OUT DVI connector to the DVI acceptor (for example, a

DVI/HDMI plasma display).

4. Connect the AUDIO OUT S/PDIF RCA connector and the AUDIO OUT 3.5

mini-jack connector to a digital audio acceptor (for example, an AV receiver).

If the inputs are connected only to the 3.5mm mini jack connectors, connect the AUDIO

OUT 3.5mm mini jack connector and/or the BALANCED OUT terminal block connector

only.

5. Set the PRIORITY SETUP DIP-switches (see Section 4.1)

6. If required, connect a PC and/or controller to the RS-232 port (see

Section 4.3) and/or the ETHERNET port (see Section 4.4).

7. If required, connect the contact closure remote control PINS (see

Section 4.2).

The connection is not illustrated in Figure 2.

8. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity.
