5 Installing the VP-740HC ScaleMagix 2 ™ on a Rack
This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack
mount.
Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is
within the recommended range:
Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade
5 to 65% RHL, non-condensing
-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade
5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing
Operating humidity range
Storage temperature range
Storage humidity range
When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking
care that:
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.
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.
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 that:
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 (you can
download it at:
http://www.kramerelectronics.com)
In some models, the front panel
may feature built-in rack ears
Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the
machine.
The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal
position.
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.
The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way
and is connected only to an electricity socket with
grounding. Pay particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips),
and that you use only the power cord that is supplied
with the machine.

The Picture-in-Picture inserter (PIP) is used for the simultaneous display of
video and graphic sources, and lets you display:
An inserted video source1 PIP over a graphic source2
An inserted graphic source2 PIP over a video source1
Your Presentation Scaler / Switcher automatically recognizes and displays
only the relevant sources, as the following two examples illustrate:
Choosing the AV 1 PIP source when the VGA input is selected, will insert
the composite video source over the VGA graphic displayed on the
screen. You can choose a component, YC 1, YC 2 or AV 2 PIP source3
(instead of the AV 1). You cannot choose VGA or DVI4
Choosing the VGA PIP source when the AV 1 input is selected, will insert
the VGA graphic source over the composite video displayed on the
screen. You can choose a VGA or DVI PIP source3 (instead of the VGA).
You cannot choose AV 2, YC 1, or YC 25
