Step 3: Mount VP-770

To rack mount the machine, attach both rack ears (by removing the screws from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the rack ears) or place the machine on a table.

• Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is compatible for the device.

• Avoid uneven mechanical loading.

• Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be

used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.

• Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs

Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-770.

The Mic can be set to a condenser or dynamic mic. When set to condenser, 48V of phantom power will be available.

To achieve specified extension distances, use the recommended Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/VP-770. Using third-party cables may cause damage!

Step 5: Connect power

Connect the power cord to VP-770 and plug it into the mains electricity.

Safety Instructions (See www.kramerav.com for updated safety information)

Caution:

• For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

• There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning:

• Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

• Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

• Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only.

• To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating specified on the product label which located on the bottom of the unit.

Step 6: Operate VP-770

Enter the OSD menu via the MENU button on the front panel or the IR remote control transmitter. Select a menu item and set parameters as required. Sub-menus include: Input, Audio, Process, Picture, Enhance, Scale, and Misc.

By default, the output resolution is set to Native, the VP-770 is triggered to read the EDID of the main display and change the output resolution value according to the native resolution of the display.

If you cannot see any images, verify that the display, TV, or projector is in good working order and is connected to the

VP-770. If you still don't see an image, press and hold the

RESET TO XGA/720P button for 2 seconds to reset the output to XGA or 720p resolution.

Notable menu items include: Output Resolution, EDID Input Setting, HDCP Input Setting, Emergency Alert.

Step 7: Select an input via the contact closure remote control pins

Remote Control

To select input 3, momentarily connect the 3 PIN to the G PIN.

Remote Control

To select PIP input 8, connect the PIP PIN to the G PIN and, within 3 seconds, momentarily connect the 8 PIN to the other G PIN.

Step 8: Control the display via HDKat

To activate port tunneling:

1. Set the dedicated port tunneling Ethernet connection port type and port number through which the VP-770 will be passing RS-232 signals (TCP and 5050, by default).

2. Use the UART command to set the communication

parameters (9600, 8, N and 1, by default).
