VP-770 - Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer VP-770 is a high quality presentation switcher and scaler. It accepts
one of eight inputs: a component video on RCA connectors, a DisplayPort (DP)
signal on a DisplayPort connector, two computer graphics signals on 15-pin HD
connectors, two composite video signals on RCA connectors, and two HDMI signals
on HDMI connectors. It scales the video, embeds the audio, and simultaneously
outputs the signal to an HDMI output, to a computer graphics output and to a
DGKat TP output, together with a digital audio output and an unbalanced stereo
audio output.
COMPONENT VIDEO is also known as Y, Pb, Pr, or Y, Cb, Cr or YUV; compatible with both
SD and HD component

VP-770 – Overview
7
If an HDMI signal is HDCP protected, it can only appear on HDMI
and DGKat outputs that are connected to HDCP compliant displays.
The VP-770 will not output an HDCP protected source to a display
that is not HDCP compliant. Instead it will show a black screen.
In the dual window display mode (see Section 7.2), 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 black.
3.1 HDCP Compliance
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The VP-770 can power the receiver on the DGKat output when the devices are
within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as
the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard TP
cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used (TP cable is still
suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these
distances).
3.3 Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the
Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23
(CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform
regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 / CAT 7a cables.

set to ON this menu item will become
invisible (see Section 6.8)
If the display layout includes a PiP window, you can set the OSD menu to control
the main source window and the PIP window separately (by defining Window
Control).
General characteristics which apply to the entire system (for example, setting the
volume) are changed without needing to shift control (the title line will state: Entire
System Control).

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 6.8).
Note that:
A selected parameter that turns gray becomes valid immediately. You can
press Enter at this point to save these parameter changes to the memory
immediately (the screen will display “Saving Data” for a split second).
In any case, 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-770 via the OSD menu. Press the:
MENU (or ) button to enter the menu, exit the menu, and when in the OSD
menu, 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
Up or down arrows to change settings (changes are immediate)

DP M/P
Note that SDI is not applicable to the VP-770 and appears
transparent in the OSD. The commands related to SDI in the
OSD menu are therefore grayed out.
If the transparency of the OSD menu is set to ON this menu item will
become invisible (see Section 6.8)
Note that any change in the input source may cancel the freeze
and blank settings.

V Image Shift – to set the vertical position of the image within the window
M/P
Volatile parameter
Auto Positioning – to search the input image during the tuning process
and automatically position it on the output window in a perfect fit.
Set to Off to disable auto positioning
Set to Normal Scan to perform a normal range image search
Set to Wide Scan to perform a wide range image search M/P
In the Normal/Wide Scan option, the machine automatically adjusts all the
PC input video resolutions (PC 1 and PC 2). For the other inputs, the
machine automatically adjusts all the input video resolutions except for
HD/SD (CEA 861 standard) video resolutions
HDCP Mode – to select the HDCP option for the HDMI/DP input: either ON
(the default) or OFF M/P.
Setting HDCP mode to Off on the HDMI/DP input allows the source to
transmit a non-HDCP signal if required (for example, when working with a
Mac computer).
Note that if you did not get the source to transmit the desired result, make
sure you have saved the change (by pressing the ENTER button) and then
physically disconnect and reconnect the cable connecting the source to the
HDMI/DP input
EDID Select – to select the native resolution on each input (HDMI, DP and
VGA inputs) to be read by the video source connected to that input:
1024x768@60, 1280x800@60, 1280x1024@60, 1366x768@60,
1440x900@60, 1400x1050@60, 1600x900@60, 1600x1200@60,
1680x1050@60, 1920x1200@60RB, 720p50, 720p60, 1080p50, 1080p60
(default), 2k50 or 2k60 E
Note that for the HDMI and DP inputs, you can either select the color depth
to be 8bpp or 12bpp after selecting the native resolution and after selecting
the color depth you can select either single or multiple modeline.
Native as Multiple Modelines – generating a group of resolutions in the
detailed timing, including the native resolution), or
Native as Single Modeline – generating only the native resolution in the
detailed timing
Note that when the EDID is set on the inputs, the changes are
per input and immediate.
Setting the EDID on any one of the HDMI inputs affects that
HDMI input immediately (the VP-770 automatically issues a hotplug) and will affect the other HDMI video source only after a
hot-plug occurrence on that input.
For example, if the EDID is selected for HDMI2 it will affect the
HDMI2 input immediately; the HDMI1 EDID will take effect
following a hot-plug.
Color Space – to select the color space for the PC and HDMI inputs: RGB,
YPbPr or Follow Input
Note that if the machine is set to the dual display mode, and both the Main
and PiP windows display the same input, you need to set the same input
color space value for both windows

In case of digital video, Follow Input follows the actual color
space; in case of analog video it follows only the input
resolution: HD/SD resolutions are considered to be YUV color
space and other resolutions will be considered as RGB color
space.

Image Shift Mode – to get the best image positioning possible. Set to Auto
to automatically get the best possible image positioning automatically; set to
Semi-auto to store the best image possible until the video resolution of the
selected input is changed (in which case the setting bounces to Auto); set to
Customize to keep the settings even if the video resolution of the selected
input is changed
Note that a video resolution change, when in the Customized mode, may
possibly result in an image positioning that is inaccurate with regards to the
new video resolution and may need to be set once again
Window
Customization
Select the position and the size of the selected window: H Position, H
Width, V Position and V Height (see Section 6.2.1.2 and Section 6.2.1.1)
M/P
The value range is dynamic. The FW prevents windows from exceeding the
boundaries or over-sizing. The position and size of the windows are saved
to the system.
The size and position of the customized window (main or PiP) remain valid
even when toggling the PIP button (front panel, remote control transmitter or
protocol command).
The customized setup is cancelled only by explicitly selecting a preset
Display Mode (see first item in this table) or if a new customized setup is
created.
Use the front panel + and – buttons, IR remote control transmitter or Web
page to set the position and height of the Main and/or PiP windows
The PiP window maximum horizontal active image area is 1600
pixels
The display mode setup, shown in Figure 9, is part of the entire system control and
the selected Single Window also shows the current aspect ratio (Best Fit):

Note that you can also customize the window size and position via the
“Y” commands (see Section 13.2) or protocol 3000 (see Section 13.4).
6.2.1 Window Customization
Window customization lets you change the position and size of a selected window.
Make sure that you have control over the window that requires customization (Main
Window Control or PiP Window Control). If not, select it via the OSD item in the
Miscellaneous menu, see Section 6.8.
In the following examples, PiP Window Control is selected, but the same procedure
applies to Main Window Control.
6.2.1.1 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 10).
