INSTALLATION
6.1
Rack Mounting
The Kramer Tools Switchers may be rack-mounted in a standard 19” (1 or 3U) EIA rack assembly, using a
special
Tools Adapter (1U or 3U model) and a mounting bracket (see section 4.1). They can also be table
mounted using their rubber feet or the provided mounting brackets. These devices do not require any
specific spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount any of the machines, follow the
installation instructions enclosed with the adaptor.

CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES
Video sources and output devices (such as monitors or recorders) may be connected to the tools through
the BNC connectors (4x1VB), through the RCA connectors (4x1V),
through the 4P connectors (4x1S)
located on the back of the unit or through the HD15F connectors (VP-201). The active inputs should be
terminated by the connecting source. The output signal format should match that of the input signal
format, (e.g.: If Composite video is input, then Composite video is output.) The signals supported by the
various models are video, s-video and RGB signals.

USING THE SWITCHERS
8.1
Controlling the Switcher (4x1S, 4x1V, 4x1VB only)
1) Connect the switcher's input connectors to video / s-Video sources.
2) Connect the switcher 's output connector to an appropriate acceptor.
3) Press one of the switcher input selector buttons to select the input to be switched to the output.
4) Operate the sources and the acceptors.
8.2
VGA/XGA Switching (VP-201 only)
Figure 5 illustrates typical VGA/XGA switching configurations of the VP-201: In the "2 computers/1
monitor" configuration, one of two input signals from the computers is selected by the
SELECT
pushbutton (
INPUT 1
or
INPUT 2
) and switched to the monitor. In the "1 computer/2 monitors"
configuration, the input computer signal is switched either to monitor 1 or monitor 2, depending on the
SELECT
pushbutton position (
OUT 1
or
OUT 2
).
Perform the following steps (as necessary):
1) Connect VGA/XGA source/s to the VGA/XGA input/s of the VP-201 as shown in Figure 5.
2) Connect acceptors to the outputs of the VP-201.
3) Select the desired input/output, to be switched, using the
SELECT
pushbutton.
4) Turn on the sources and acceptors.
