3 Overview
The high performance VP-88ETH/VP-84ETH/VP-82ETH/VP-66ETH/
VP-64ETH RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher is designed for high-
resolution computer graphics signals and balanced stereo audio signals. Each
machine is a true matrix, routing any input to any or all outputs simultaneously.
In particular, the RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher:
Consists of three large bandwidth video channels, Red, Green and Blue
(RGB) and two TTL (logic level) channels – Horizontal and Vertical sync
Switches channels during the vertical interval, offering glitch free
transitions when sources share a common reference sync
Provides Audio breakaway, for switching audio independently from video
Offers preset memory locations for quick access to common
configurations
Includes the TAKE button, which lets you place multiple switches in a
queue and then activate them with one touch of this button
Can be used for mixed video applications such as CV, Y/C and YUV
simultaneously
Includes an ETHERNET connection that supports easy dial-up and Internet
system remote control (requiring only a dedicated IP address
1
and a modem in
the remote location) whether it is a stand-alone PC or a LAN
2
system
Control the VP-88ETH/VP-84ETH/VP-82ETH/VP-66ETH/VP-64ETH
using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system,
PC, or other serial controller
ETHERNET
The Kramer RC-IR2 Infra-Red Remote Control Transmitter
An external remote IR receiver (optional), see section 4.1
The VP-88ETH/VP-84ETH/VP-82ETH/VP-66ETH/VP-64ETH is dependable,
rugged and fits into three vertical spaces (3U) of a standard 19" rack.
1 IP Address is 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 e-mails) 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
2 LAN is Local Area Network

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 and position
your Kramer VP-88ETH / VP-84ETH / VP-82ETH / VP-66ETH /
VP-64ETH away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This section describes each switcher as follows:
VP-88ETH (see Figure 1)
VP-84ETH (see Figure 2)
VP-82ETH (see Figure 3)
VP-66ETH (see Figure 4)
VP-64ETH (see Figure 5)
