VP-553xl – Introduction 1

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

• Review the contents of this user manual

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VP-553xl to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

• Position your Kramer VP-553xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country go to our recycling pages at www.kramerav.com/support/recycling/

VP-553xl – Getting Started 3

3 Overview

The VP-553xl is a high-performance 6x2 presentation switcher/scaler for HDMI, HDBaseT and analog signals, and a 4x1 USB switcher. The unit has dual, independent, scaled outputs, the first on both HDMI and HDBaseT connectors, and the second on an HDMI connector. Both can take from the six digital inputs: three HDBaseT and three HDMI signals; while the first also includes analog inputs – for two computer graphics signals, two composite video and two analog TP inputs. Analog, digital and embedded audio are supported, and the unit also includes a microphone input and rich DSP features.

The VP-553xl features:

• Pix-Perfect™ scaling technology - Kramer’s precision pixel mapping and

high quality scaling technology. High-quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull down de-interlacing and full up- and down-scaling of video input signals

• System Range for the HDBT inputs and outputs - Up to 70m (230ft)

For optimum range and performance using HDBaseT™, use Kramer's BC-UNIKat cable. Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, source and display used. The distance using non−Kramer CAT 6 cable may not reach these ranges.

• System Range for the TP inputs and outputs - over 250m (more than 820ft)

For optimum range and performance using TP, us e Kramer's BC-STP cable where skewing is not an issue or the Kramer BC-XTP Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free cable. Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, source and display used. The distance using non−Kramer CAT 6 cable may not reach these ranges.

• HDTV compatibility

• HDCP compliance - the HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license

agreement allows copy-protected data on the HDMI input to pass only to the HDMI outputs

• Video inputs - three HDMI connectors, two VGA on 15-pin HD connectors

each with unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5mm connectors, two composite video on RCA connectors with unbalanced stereo audi o on RCA connectors, three HDBaseT on RJ-45 connectors and two analog TP on RJ-45 connectors

4 VP-553xl - Overview

• Two scaled HDMI outputs (OUT 1 also outputs HDBaseT)

• Output resolutions - HDTV and computer graphics and 1080p/UXGA with

selectable refresh rates

• A 4x1 USB switcher that can be set to follow the switching of the video layer

or can be used as an independent switcher

• OSD (On Screen Display) - for easy setup and adjustment, accessible via

the IR remote control and via the front panel buttons

• Powerful audio features via DSP technology

• Input and output audio level adjustment

• Selectable microphone talkover or mix modes

• Automatic audio detection and selecti on of the HDMI input source (the

default selection is HDMI). If not present, the unit uses the audio from the analog input. Manual audio selection is also available

• Audio inputs - three analog HDMI audio and two analog PC audio on 3.5mm

mini jacks; two stereo CV audio on RCA connectors each with individual level controls

• A microphone input - dynamic or condenser (with 48V phantom voltage)

• Audio outputs - two bal anced stereo audio on terminal blocks (mirrored with

independent volume settings)

• Multiple aspect ratio selections - full, over scan, under scan, l ett er box, pan

scan and best fit

• Built-in ProcAmp - color, hue, sharpness, noise, contrast and brightness

• Front panel control - audio mute, video blanking and freeze frame

• Built-in Web pages for easy setup and remote control

• Firmware upgrade via the Ethernet

• Non-Volatile memory that saves the final settings

VP-553xl – Overview 5

Control your VP-553xl:

• Directly, via the front panel push buttons

• By RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or

other serial controller

• Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter with OSD (on−screen

display)

• Via the Ethernet with built-in Web pages

The VP-553xl included, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.

is housed in a 19” 2U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”

3.1 Using the USB Switcher

The VP-553xl incorporates a simple, yet effective, 4:1 US B 1.1 switcher. The switcher can be used, for example, to connect one out of several PCs to a smart board or other USB client.

The USB switcher can be routed as a separate layer, or can be tied to the video switching layer of the unit. This creates a powerful “USB follows video” system – the PC routed to the display also connects to the smart board. In many meeting room setups these USB switching schemes are highly effective.

3.2 Using Twisted Pair Cable for HDBT

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; outperforms regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 cables.

We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.

BC−UNIKat (CAT 6 23 AWG cable) significantly

6 VP-553xl - Overview

3.3 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cable. There are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best quality STP cable that you can afford. intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue.

In cases where there is skewing in analog TP systems, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, m ay be advantageous, and UTP cable might also be preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP cable, it is advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.

Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP is

In this example, an External IR Sensor is connected to the IR connector of the

TP-580T (connected to HDBT 2) and an IR Emitter is connected between the TP-580T (connected to HDBT 1) and a DVD player. The DVD remote control sends

a command while pointing towards the External IR Sensor. The IR signal passes through the TP cables, the VP-553xl and the IR Emitter to the DVD player, which responds to the command sent.
