Frequently Asked Questions - VP-558 Kramer
How do I connect video sources to the VP-558?
Use composite video (BNC) cables to connect your sources to the 5 inputs. Each input supports standard analog video signals (NTSC/PAL).
Can I switch audio and video independently?
Yes, the VP-558 supports breakaway switching, allowing you to route audio and video separately using the front panel or RS-232 commands.
How do I reset the VP-558 to factory defaults?
Press and hold the front panel RESET button (located on the rear) for 5 seconds until all LEDs flash. Release to restore factory settings.
What is the maximum cable length for composite video?
For analog composite video, cable lengths up to 100 meters (328 feet) are supported with proper RG-59 coax. Longer runs may require equalization.
Does the VP-558 remember its last routing configuration?
Yes, the unit stores the current configuration in non-volatile memory. After power cycling, the last routing state is restored.
How can I control the VP-558 remotely?
You can control it via RS-232 serial commands, IR remote (included), or using Kramer's control software over the serial port.
What does the 'Audio Follow Video' mode do?
In this mode, when you select a new video input for an output, the corresponding audio input is automatically switched to follow the same video route.
Is the VP-558 rackmountable?
Yes, it is designed for 19-inch rackmount installation (1U high). Rack ears are included for easy mounting.
How do I clean the VP-558?
Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and enclosure. Do not use any liquids or abrasive cleaners to avoid damage.
What should I do if the unit does not power on?
