Frequently Asked Questions - VP-772 Kramer

What is the Kramer VP-772?

The Kramer VP-772 is a Presentation Matrix Switcher / Dual Scaler that can switch and scale up to eight video inputs (DVI, HDMI, VGA, YPbPr, CV) to two independent DVI outputs (Program and Preview) with seamless transitions and Picture-in-Picture capabilities.

How do I connect the VP-772 to my devices?

Connect your video sources to the DVI-U inputs using appropriate cables or adapters. Connect audio sources to the terminal blocks. Outputs go to your display or projector (Program) and a preview monitor. Use the included rack ears for rack mounting or place on a table. Always power off devices before connecting.

Can the VP-772 handle HDCP protected content?

Yes, the VP-772 supports HDCP on HDMI inputs. When HDCP content is detected, it will only output to HDCP-compliant displays; otherwise a green screen (HDMI) or black screen (VGA) appears.

How do I perform a seamless transition between sources?

Set the display mode to Transition in the OSD menu (Layout > Display Mode). Select your Preview and Program inputs, then choose an effect (e.g., Cut, Fade, Wipe) and direction. Press TAKE (front panel ENTER or OSD Take) to execute the transition. You can also use the T-Bar slider via Web pages.

What is the maximum output resolution of the VP-772?

In single window mode, the VP-772 can output up to 4K2K@30 (3840x2160). Other common resolutions include 1080p60, 720p, XGA, and many more.

How do I reset the VP-772 to factory defaults?

Go to Misc > Factory Reset in the OSD menu. Choose 'Including ETH' to reset all settings, or 'Excluding ETH' to keep network settings. Alternatively, hold the RESET TO XGA/720P button during power-up to reset including ETH.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from www.kramerav.com. Save it to a USB memory stick, insert into the USB port on the rear panel, then go to OSD > Misc > FW Upgrade and select Upgrade. Do not power off during the process.

How can I control the VP-772 remotely?

You can control it via RS-232 (115200 baud, 8N1), Ethernet (TCP port 5000, UDP port 50000), or the embedded Web pages. The default IP is 192.168.1.39. You can also use the included IR remote or RS-485 for T-bar control.

What is the difference between Program and Preview outputs?

The Program output is the live signal sent to the main display (e.g., projector). The Preview output shows the next source to be switched, allowing you to adjust settings (scaling, aspect ratio, etc.) before transitioning to the Program output.

How do I set up Picture-in-Picture (PiP)?

In the OSD menu, set Layout > Display Mode to Overlay. Then select an overlay layout (PiP, PoP, Split, or Single). Choose your main source via Program buttons and the PiP window via Preview buttons. You can resize and reposition the PiP window using the OSD Window Customization settings.

- Provides input and output color space control
• Supports HDMI deep color for outputs
- Provides user delay options for auto sync off
- Comes with an On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment
- Has a non-volatile memory that retains the settings
• Supports firmware upgrade via USB port (using USB memory stick)

Control your VP-772:

• Directly, via the front panel push buttons
• Via the Ethernet (using the embedded Web pages)
• By RS-485 (allowing future optional T-bar control)

• Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter
• By RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

The VP-772 is housed in a 19" 1U rack mountable enclosure, with handles and rack "ears" included, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.

3.1 HDCP Compliance for HDMI inputs

If an HDMI signal is HDCP protected, it can only appear on HDMI outputs that are connected to HDCP compliant displays.

The VP-772 will not output a picture on an HDMI display that is not HDCP compliant; instead it will show a green screen.

In the PiP mode (see Section7.2), even if only one of the inputs is HDCP protected, and is output to a non-compliant display, it will affect the entire screen and turn it green.

When using a VGA output display, the screen will turn black.

4 Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting the unit.

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

OPERATING TEMPERATURE:	0° to +40°C (32° to 104°F)
STORAGE TEMPERATURE:	-40° to +70°C (-40° to 158°F)
HUMIDITY:	10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing

CAUTION!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature.
2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.
3. The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.
4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.
5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for example, when using an extension cable or a power strip, and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine.

To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the machine. To do so, remove the screws from each side of the machine (3 on each side), and replace those screws through the ear brackets.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical bracket assembly with bolts and mounting holes (no text or symbols)

1. Place the ears of the machine against the rack rails, and insert the proper screws (not provided) through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Note:

• In some models, the front panel may feature built-in rack ears
- Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use
• Always mount the machine in the rack before you attach any cables or connect the machine to the power
- If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack Adapters user manual for installation instructions available from our Web site

5 Connecting the VP-772

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VP-772. After connecting your VP-772, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

You do not have to connect all the inputs and outputs, connect only those that are required.

To connect the VP-772, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the following:

1. Connect up to eight sources (for example, a PC, Blu-ray Disk Player, Composite DVD player and so on) to the DVI INPUT connectors, according to the Input OSD setup, see Section 6.2. Use the ADC-DMA/5BF-1 and AD-DM/GF adapters provided with the package when connecting a YUV, VGA or CV input, as required

2. Connect the audio input signals to the AUDIO IN terminal block connectors, as required, see Section 5.2 (not shown in Figure 3).

3. Connect the PREVIEW OUT DVI connector to a DVI acceptor (for example, an LCD display).
4. Connect the PROGRAM OUT DVI connector to a DVI acceptor (for example, a projector).

Note that when high output resolutions (such as 4k2k@30) we recommend that you use a DVI to HDMI cable (for example, the Kramer C-HM/DM 6' or 10'). For lower resolutions you can connect the HDMI connector on a device to the DVI connector on the VP-772 via a HDMI-DVI adapter

1. Connect the AUDIO OUT 1 and OUT 2 Terminal Block connectors to up to two balanced analog audio acceptors, see Section 5.2 (not shown in Figure 3).

2. If required, you can connect a PC and/or controller to the:

■ RS-232 terminal block (see Section 8.2.1)
- Ethernet connector (see Section 8.2.2)

1. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 3).

6 The OSD Menu

The OSD menu lets you set the VP-772 operation parameters.

The OSD sub-menu operations appear in the OSD title, as shown in the example in Section 6.1:

• When in the main menu, the OSD title appears empty
  • Level 1 lists the main menu items
  • Level 2 includes the second hierarchy level, below level 1
  • Level 3 includes the third hierarchy level, below level 2 (optional)
  • Level 4 includes the fourth hierarchy level, below level 3 (optional)

And so on

- Function (last level), is the selectable parameter or numerical value and can appear either under level 2, 3 or 4

6.1 OSD Menu Operation Example

In the example illustrated below, the Program Aspect Ratio is set to Best Fit as illustrated in Figure 9 (see OSD menu in Section 6.4).

Figure 9: OSD Menu Example

The example in the table below shows function 321 (from the Protocol in Section 12.2.2):

• 3 in the hundreds, represents “Program” which is the 3^rd menu item in the main list
• 2 in the tens, represents "Scaling" which is 2^nd in the Scale menu
  • 1 in the units, represents "Aspect Ratio" which is first in the Scaling menu

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4 (Function)	Range	Function
Program(3)	Scaling (2)	Aspect Ratio (1) Follow	low Input 0 321
			Follow Output 1
			Best Fit	2
			Letterbox	3

Note that:

• Functions may also have 2 digits only (Select Input, for example, is 31), or on the other hand have an unlimited number of digits
• We recommend that you press Enter to save the changes to the memory immediately although exiting the menu saves the parameter to the memory
• Data is saved per window and per input (to a dedicated input + window memory), as applicable

The control buttons let you control the VP-772 via the OSD menu. Press the:

• MENU button to enter the menu and exit the menu
• ◀ button when in the OSD menu, to move to the previous level and change menu settings in the OSD screen.
• ENTER (or ▷) button to access sub-menu items
• Arrow buttons to move through the OSD menu
• or arrows to change settings

Note that when exiting the menu, all the changes are automatically saved to the non-volatile memory.

The default OSD timeout for auto exit is set to 30 seconds and can be changed (see Section 6.5).

Note that some items appear red on the OSD menu indicating that they are disabled.

Inputs Menu 6.2

The Inputs menu lets you set each of the VP-772 input connector parameters (from 1 to 8):

6.4.1 Window Customization in the Overlay Mode

Window customization lets you change the size and position of a selected window. Make sure that you are setting the correct window (Window Customization in the Program OSD menu for the Main window and Window Customization in the Preview OSD menu for the PiP window).

In the following examples, the Preview OSD Menu is selected to set the PiP window size, but the same procedure applies to setting the Main window (via the Program OSD menu).

Note that you can also customize the window size and position via the "Y" commands (see Section 12.2) and Web pages (see Section 9.2).

6.4.1.1 Changing the Size of the Main and/or PiP Window

Use the H Width and V Height to change the size of the window using the + and - buttons on the front panel or remote control transmitter (as illustrated in Figure 13).

Figure 13: Changing the Size of the Window

To change the size of the window, do the following:

1. Check that the window is set to the Overlay mode (see Section 6.3).
2. Select Program or Preview Window Customization (see Section 6.4).
3. Select H width (an OSD slide bar appears) and press + to increase the width, or – to decrease the width, see Figure 14.
   The following example shows how to increase the width of the PiP window

Figure 14: Increasing the Width

1. Select V Height (an OSD slide bar appears) and press + to increase the height, or – to decrease the height, see Figure 15.

Figure 15: Increasing the Height

6.4.1.2 Moving the Position of the Main and/or PiP Window

Use the H Position and V Position items in the OSD to change the position of the window using the + and - buttons on the front panel or remote control transmitter (as illustrated in Figure 16).

Figure 16: Positioning the Window

To move the position of the window, do the following:

1. Check that the window is set to the Overlay mode (see Section 6.3).
2. Select Program or Preview Window Customization (see Section 6.4).
3. To move the picture to the right, select H Position.

An OSD slide bar appears:

1. Press the +/- buttons to move the PiP window horizontally. Use the V Position menu item in the same way to move the PiP vertically, see Figure 17.

Figure 17: Moving the PiP Window

Note that the sequence in which you change the size and position of the window is insignificant, as long as you make sure that the resized image does not go beyond the window boundaries.

6.4.2 Selecting the Correct Aspect Ratio

You can configure the aspect ratio of any output image to fit your application. The VP-772 offers four different aspect ratio settings: Follow Input, Follow Output, Best Fit and Letterbox. Here is how each of these settings works.

FOLLOW INPUT – The aspect ratio and resolution of the input video or graphics signal are both preserved (no scaling). For example, a composite video image with a 4:3 aspect ratio will appear with the same aspect ratio on a 1080p (16:9) output image, surrounded by black bars

FOLLOW OUTPUT – The aspect ratio and resolution of the input signal is re-sized to precisely match the aspect ratio and resolution of the VP-772 output signal. This may result in some distortion to the input signal images

BEST FIT – This setting re-sizes the video or graphics input signal to "best fit" the output resolution while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. For example, a composite video signal (4:3 aspect ratio) will "best fit" to the top and bottom of a widescreen output image, resulting in black pillars on either side.

LETTERBOX – This setting compresses the top and bottom edges of the input signal, but fills the width of the screen. For example, to preserve a widescreen film image on a 4:3 display. When not using a 4:3 resolution, this mode is identical to Best Fit

6.5.1 The Luma Keying Feature

The luma keying feature lets you display the Preview window (the key image) as semi-transparent over the Program window. This feature can be used to have the Preview window display a static or dynamic logo, for example, which will appear on a transparent background.

To apply the luma keying feature, first set the Preview window to the desired size and location and then turn luma keying On. The Preview image will show without its background.

The lower the luminance in the Preview window, the more transparent it becomes, thus letting the Program window image show. The higher the luminance, the less transparent it becomes, not letting the Program window show through. To use this feature it is recommended to set the Preview image as follows: use low-luminance colors for the background (the key image portion) and high-luminance colors for the logo.

7 Layout

The VP-772 can function in two modes, the:

• Transition mode
  • Overlay (Picture in Picture) mode

The operation modes are set by selecting the display Mode via the Layout menu (see Section 6.3).

7.1 Transition Mode

In the transition mode you can setup the input, view it via the preview output and then switch it to the PROGRAM output.

The VP-772 has two outputs: a PREVIEW output, and a PROGRAM output. Each of these outputs functions independently. An input is routed to the PROGRAM OUTPUT by pressing that PROGRAM INPUT front panel button. In the same way pressing a PREVIEW INPUT front panel button will route that input to the PREVIEW OUTPUT.

Use the PREVIEW output to:

• See how the scaled output looks before displaying live during a presentation
- Harmonize the transition to the PROGRAM output after determining the look and feel when in the PREVIEW output
- Use the OSD menu to make adjustments and choose the settings

When in the transition mode, you can set the speed of the transition, and determine the type and direction of the transition via the OSD menu and the Web pages (see, Sections 6.3 and 9.3, respectively).

For example, select Cut for an instantaneous transition from the PREVIEW output to the PROGRAM output or select Chessboard for a chessboard transition effect and check Swap to interchange the preview with the program.

To switch the inputs in the transition mode via the OSD menu, you need to set the audio signal, define the effects and select the input:

1. In the Preview>Advanced>Audio menu, set the Audio signal:

2. Set either AFV for the audio to follow the video, or an analog input from 1 to 8
   If AFV was selected, set that audio signal to be embedded or analog

3. Set the output volume, bass, mid, treble, balance and lip sync

4. In the Layout menu, set the display mode (for example, Transition).

5. Define the transition settings: Speed, Mode, Effect and Direction.
6. In the Preview menu, select an Input.
7. In the Layout menu select Take to carry out the transition.

To switch the inputs in the transition mode via the front panel buttons:

1. In the Preview>Advanced>Audio menu, set the Audio signal:

2. Set either AFV for the audio to follow the video, or an analog input from 1 to 8
   ■ If AFV was selected, set that audio signal to be embedded or analog
   ■ Set the output volume, bass, mid, treble, balance and lip sync

3. In the Layout menu, set the display mode (for example, Transition).

4. Define the transition settings: Speed, Mode, Effect and Direction.
5. Press the desired PREVIEW INPUT front panel button.
6. Press ENTER to carry out the transition.

To set the Program input, repeat the above procedures using the Program menu

If the transition mode is set to Swap, the Preview and Program inputs switch places. If Follow was selected, the Program input setting will follow the Preview setting and both will display the same input.

All the above actions can be performed via the Transition Settings Web page, Section 9.3

Overlay Mode 7.2

In the Overlay mode both outputs are identical and can display a single image (single window display mode), two images one over the other or two images side by side (dual window display mode).

A selected Program input appears as the main image in a dual window display mode (such as PiP) or as the only image in a single window display mode.

A selected Preview input will appear as the PiP window in the dual window display mode and will not appear at all in the single window display mode.

The overlay settings item in the Layout menu (see Section 6.3) lets you set a Single Window, Picture in Picture (PiP), Picture + Picture (PoP) or Split images. For example, you can show a live video window on top of a graphic background, or show two images on screen of the same input channel. The PiP window appears even if no input signals are connected. In this case the PiP window appears in dark gray and the main window appears in light gray.

The preset PiP configurations are available:

Picture-in-Picture, with a smaller PiP window superimposed over a full main window image

Split, where both images are placed side-by-side with the same height

Split image showing a colorful bird perched on a branch and a pair of giraffes in a savanna setting (no text or symbols)

You can superimpose any input type over any or the same input.

If the HDMI signal is HDCP protected, it can appear on HDMI and HDBT outputs that are connected to supported HDCP compliant displays. However, it cannot appear on a display that is not HDCP compliant and will show a green screen instead.

7.2.1 Setting the PiP

To set the PiP window in the Overlay mode:

1. In the Layout menu select Overlay Settings. When in the Overlay display mode

12 The VP-772 RS-232 Communication Protocol

The Kramer Protocol lets you control the VP-772 from any standard terminal software (for example, the Windows® HyperTerminal Application).

12.1 Using the Communication Protocol

There are three different methods to control the VP-772 RS-232 or the Ethernet:

• Protocol commands mimicking the OSD, see Section 12.2
• The button functions mimicking the remote controller buttons (as well as the front panel buttons), see Section 12.2.2.1
  • Protocol 3000 common commands, see Section 12.4

All three tables together include all the protocol commands, but they are not identical and do not always include the same information. Some of the data may appear in one or two of the tables but not in the third table and vice versa.

The protocol 3000 communications protocol uses a data rate of 115200 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

12.2 Communication Protocol: Mimicking OSD

The audio/video protocol commands define all the function numbers, their valid parameters can be used with protocol 3000.

12.2.1 Using the Communication Protocol with Protocol 3000 (the "Y" Command)

Set Command:

Type in: "Y Control_Type=0, Function, Param"

Reply: "\~id=01Y Control_Type=0,Function,Param OK"

Set command example: set HDCP mode for input 1 (113) to "On"

Send: "#y 0,113,1"

Result: "\~01@Y 0,113,1 OK"

Get Command:

Type in: "Y Control_Type=1,Function"

Result: "\~id=01Y Control_Type=1,Function,Param"

Get command example: get HDCP mode for input 3 (113):

Send: "#y 1,113"

Result: "\~01@y 1,113,1"

The “Y” command also supports the value increment/decrement of any command using the ‘+’ or ‘-’ signs as the third parameter of the “Y” command.

For example, in order to decrease the volume on input 6 (116)

Send: "#Y 0,116,-"

Reply: "\~01@Y 0,116,-OK"

Note that if the value after the decrease is out of range, the reply will show an error such as:"\~01@Y ERR -03"

12.2.2 Protocol Table: Mimicking OSD

You can associate a function number to its description and valid parameters intuitively by navigating the OSD menu according to the following logic:

A function number is directly related to its location in the OSD menu.

For example, the second menu on the OSD is Layout (2 in the hundreds). The third menu item in Layout is Overlay Settings (2 in the tens), therefore the function number for it will be 230 ( 2^nd item on the Main menu and the 3^rd item in the Layout submenu (see also Section 6.1). When navigating in the OSD MENU you will be able to see the Overlay Settings valid parameters.

Note that for the Inputs, menu levels 3, 4 and 5 are valid for each input from 1 to 8. For example, Type ( 3^rd level) item is 111 for Input 1 and 121 for Input 2, and so on. In order not to repeat the Inputs menu for each input, the function list will have an x denoting the input number from 1 to 8. For example the Type item will have 1x1 as the function number x being from 1 to 8.

The following table shows the Program function numbering.

Note that some items that appear in red on the OSD menu seem missing in the table below. These items will be enabled in future firmware and will be described in detail.

The following table defines the protocol commands:
