1. Introduction

This manual explains how to operate your VP-796(A) / VP-797(A) / VP-798(A) Scaler-Switcher.

If you have any questions relating to this or any other product supplied by Kramer please visit our web site www.kramerelectronics.com.

1.1 System Overview

The VP-796(A) / VP-797(A) / VP-798(A) line of products feature excellent image processing algorithms for the very best in scaling, motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film 3:2 and 2:2 pull-down correction. The new generation of Kramer products significantly outperforms the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.

In addition to full 4K processing, new and unique technology allows for seamless switching between different inputs as fast as ¼ of a second.

VP-796(A) / VP-797(A) / VP-798(A) feature with a flexible, high performance video input front end that allows them to accept and process a wide variety of inputs. HDMI, DVI and Display Port video with HDCP encryption is supported, as are computer graphics inputs in SVGA analogue and HDMI/DVI digital formats. Analogue support also includes true component video in YPbPr and RGBS formats as well as composite (CVBS) inputs.

A high performance video decoder is utilized with 4x oversampling and 3D Y/C separation for outstanding video image clarity. The output frame rate can lock to the input frame rate dynamically without frame rate conversion in order to reduce system latency; or it can be set to a fixed output frame rate, e.g. for driving basic screens which are not 50Hz-compatible. The output format can also lock to an externally provided synchronization signal on various models (see model matrix). 3GSDI/HDSDI/SDI digital formats are supported on VP-797 and VP-798 (see model matrix below).

Outputs are available in HDMI/DVI digital formats as well as 3GSDI and HDBaseT (see model matrix below). All outputs are active simultaneously, except in the cases where the formats are not compatible. For example, for the PC graphic formats that are not supported by the SDI standards, the 3GSDI output will be disabled. Also note that if an HDCP encrypted signal is connected to the DP, HDMI or DVI input, the HDMI and DVI output signals will be similarly HDCP encrypted and the 3GSDI output will be disabled. HDCP capability can be switched off per input, so that a source can transmit non-protected content material.

The Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) feature allows users to select a ‘region of interest’, ROI, of the input image to fill the screen and pan and tilt within it.

The Video Wall feature allows multiple units to work synchronously and be part of a large matrix configuration, up-to 4x4. Each unit automatically crops a section of the input video image and displays it on the corresponding projector or screen.

Models VP-798 and VP-798A support edge blending allowing brightness adjustments in certain regions to match the brightness of overlapping areas.

All units can be operated via the front panel display and rotary knob, or through a built-in web page, or via an API interface. The API manual is published separately and is available on our website.

3.5.3.3 HDBT Output

3.5.3.4 HDCP Output encryption When the input signal is HDCP encrypted, the DVI-D, HDMI and HDBaseT outputs will also be encrypted and the 3G-SDI output will be disabled. If the display device does not support HDCP, the output will be black and a message indicating that the presence of an HDCP signal will be shown on the screen.

The user can turn off the unit’s HDCP compliance to allow non-encrypted content to pass through the unit. This is an important feature specially when using a MAC computer as the source. The MAC will encrypt its output signal if a compliant device is seen attached to its output regardless of the copy protection requirements of the content. By turning off HDCP, the MAC will see a non-compliant device and therefore will not encrypt its output. When HDCP compliance is turned off, encrypted sources will not be displayed.

3.5.3.5 Audio Output

Audio embedded in HDMI and SDI video streams is passed through the system and re-embedded into the HDMI and SDI output signals.

Also, the unit features a S/PDIF coaxial digital audio output connector for monitoring audio of the HDMI and SDI channel.

When HDMI is selected as the input channel, the HDMI EDID is read by a video source such as a Blu- Ray Player. The unit allows the source to provide the formats shown under output formats for HDMI in the below table. All formats are re-embedded into the HDMI output data stream, those which are not allowed on the SDI or SPDIF output are muted on the individual channels.

(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz,192kHz)

(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz)

All models can be controlled via the front panel, a web page built-in into the unit or an API protocol interface. The next two chapters describe the Front Panel and Web Browser control methods. The API interface can be found in a separate document available on our web site.

5. Front Panel Control

You can enter the main menu by pressing the Menu/Sel key from the status screen. You can use the jog wheel and Menu/Sel and Esc buttons to navigate through the different menus.

A complete diagram of the menu tree is shown in Appendix A. The audio menu tree for units fitted with the audio option is shown in Appendix B.

Next, is a brief description of the functions and settings available from the front panel menus.

5.1 Main Menu

The main menu lists the selected input channel and 6 sub menus. The 6 sub menus are:

 Output  Colour  Geometry  Video Wall  Enhancement  System

Each menu includes an Exit entry to return to the previous level. Some adjustments are not applicable to all signal types or operating modes, in which case those non-applicable functions will be greyed out and are not accessible.

The unit is designed to have separate memories for all the settings in each section. All Input parameters are specific to your chosen input channel and input signal type, and are not global to the unit. For example, if you change the settings for the composite video channel, you will not affect the settings you may have made in the DVI channel.

Page 21

5.2 Input

This menu provides an additional method of selecting the desired input.

Depending on the specific model, some of these input selections may not be available.

Test patterns can be selected even when there are no inputs connected to the unit. Different test patterns can be selected by scrolling the jog wheel.

Settings:

 SDI-1  SDI-2  Display Port  HDMI-1  HDMI-2  HDBaseT  DVI  HDMI-3  VGA  YPbPr/RGB  Composite Video  Test Pattern

Default : HDMI-1

5.3 Output

This menu contains adjustments related with the outputs of the unit.

5.3.1 Display Type

5.3.1.1 Output Mode (Resolution)

The selected output resolution should match the native resolution of the imaging device to avoid double scaling.

The 3GSDI output does not feature the PC resolutions, only 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p and 1080i/p output modes are supported.

Settings: See the Supported format table Default : 1920x1080p

5.3.1.2 Frame Rate

As with the output resolution, the output frame rate should match the native frame of the imaging device. Some frame rates may not be available depending on the selected resolution.

In auto mode the output frame rate follows the input frame rate if it supported by the output resolution. If the input frame rate is not supported by the output resolution, then the unit determines the output frame according to a procedure programmed in the software.

Settings: 60 Hz, 59.94 Hz, 50 Hz, 48 Hz, 25Hz, 24 Hz, 23.97, Auto Default : 59.94Hz

5.3.1.3 I/O Lock

From this menu, the user can select the genlock mode of the unit. If I/O Lock is off, the output free-runs with a fixed refresh rate determined by the frame rate setting. In this mode, the output vertical refresh sync deviates slightly from the input vertical refresh sync, even if both are set at the same rate, occasionally causing frame dropping or repeat. If I/O Lock is set to On, the output refresh rate follows the input video refresh rate if possible. If not, the output is operated with a fixed refresh rate determined by the frame rate setting. If I/O Lock is set to Genlock, the output refresh rate will follow the vertical sync of the signal connected to the Genlock BNC connector. Genlock is achieved when the Genlock vertical sync rate matches the vertical sync rate set in the output menu. Valid combinations are 50Hz/50Hz, 59.94Hz/59.94H and 60Hz/60Hz. If genlock is not achieved, the output frame rate refresh rate is determined by the frame rate setting.

The LCD main status menu indicates the genlock status: (I/O Locked or Genlocked) or in free run mode (Free Run).

In order to achieve clean switch between input selections, follow the locking settings described in the table below.

(Free Run)

If the output Frame rate is set to Auto, Genlock signals all genlock signals can be accepted. On the other hand, if a specific frame is selected, for example 60Hz, a Genlock reference signal od 60Hz can only be accepted and the unit will not lock to a 50Hz reference signal.

If the output Frame rate is set to Auto and I/O lock is off, input switching may-not be clean. Clean switching will depend how close the frame rates of the current and next input channel are.

Settings: Off, On, Genlock (for models supporting genlock) Default : Off (Free Run)

5.3.1.4 Frame Rate (Enable)

From this menu the user can choose the output frame rates that the unit can output. This is done to prevent the unit from outputting frame rates that cannot be accepted by the display.

Settings: 60 Yes/No, 50 Hz Yes/No, 48 Yes/No, 30/29.97Hz Yes/No, 25 Yes/No, 24/23.98 Yes/No

Default : 60Hz Yes, 50Hz Yes, 48Hz No, 30/29.97Hz Yes, 25Yes, 24/23.98Hz Yes

5.3.2 Gamma/Colour

5.3.2.1 Native Colour Temp

Native Colour Temp allows the user to select from pre-configured colour temperatures to match the display. If this value is the same as the Colour Temp value in the (Input) Colour menu, no conversion is performed.

Settings: 3700, 5500, 6500, 7500, 9300, 10000

Default : 6500K

5.3.2.2 Output Gamma

Output gamma allows to re-gamma video signals with pre-configured gamma values to match the display. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value, there is no effect on the image.

If you need to reduce the level of certain color in the image, select a higher value for the input colour Temp in the Colour menu, or a lower number for the Native Colour Temp in the Output menu.

Settings: 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1

Default : 2.2

Page 24

5.3.3 Output Config

5.3.3.1 Display

Internally, the output interface processes data at a full ten bits per colour. The colour depth on the HDMI outputs is determined by the supported standard of the attached monitor or device when set to DVI/HDMI.

DVI 1.0 and HDMI 1.1/1.2 devices are set at 24 bit, for HDMI 1.3 or later compliant devices it is up to 36 bit. The DVI forced selection will output video with 24 bit colour depth irrespective of the supported standard of the attached monitor.

Settings: DVI forced, DVI/HDMI

Default : HDMI

5.3.3.2 HDCP

HDCP encryption support on the output can be switched off as is in the input. This means the unit pretends to be non-HDCP compliant on the DVI/HDMI output port and consequently does not encrypt data. At the same time, HDCP is also turned off at the input ports. This allows the unit to accept nonHDCP encrypted data. If the source however, is HDCP encrypted, then the output will be black.

Settings: On, Off

Default : On

5.3.3.3 DVI Colour Space and DVI Range

When set to Default CEA, the output modes have limited range, and VESA modes have full range. Therefore, an incoming limited range mode is either passed through when the output is set to a CEA output mode or expanded when the output is set to a VESA mode. An incoming full range mode is either compressed when the output is set to a CEA output mode or passed through when the output is set to a VESA mode.

If the HDMI/DVI output does not operate properly, the range can be changed manually. A limited video range is only using the following greyscale for video information - 8 Bit System: 0x10 .. 0xEF, 10 Bit System: 0x040 .. 0x03BF, 12 Bit System: 0x100 .. 0xEFF.

Settings : Color Space: RGB or YPbPr / Range: Default, Limited, and Full

Default : RGB & Full

Default : 0

5.4.5 Hue

Adjusts the colour hue of NTSC signals. This is not applicable for computer input signals or formats.

Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1

Default : 0

5.4.6 RGB values

This is a user-defined colour temperature setting where R,G,B gain (white balance) and offset/bias (black balance) can be adjusted separately in order to match the display device. This control is not available for output modes with colour space format YUV 4:2:0.

Settings : Red/Green/Blue Gain/Bias : -512 to 512 Default : 0

Page 26

5.4.7 Colour Temp

A preset range of Colour Temperature allowing the user to select from pre-configured colour temperatures to match the colour temperature of the incoming signal. If this value Native Colour Temp value in the Output menu are the same, no conversion is performed.

Settings: 3700K, 5500K, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K, 10000K

Default : 6500K

5.4.8 Input Gamma

Settings: 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1

Default : 2.2

Page 27

5.5 Geometry

This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up position, aspect ratio and scale of the input signal.

5.5.1 Picture Format

This menu allows users to select the displayed aspect ratio when the input signal aspect ratio is different to the display panel’s aspect ratio. Some aspect ratios may not be applicable to all signal types, in which case selecting a non-applicable aspect ratio conversion will have no effect on the displayed image.

Original: Preserves the aspect ratio of the incoming image and scales the image to fit into the size of the panel. Depending on the aspect ratio of the panel the image is either bordered by the right/left side or bottom/top of the panel. Non-used areas of the panel are displayed black (letterboxed).

Full Screen: Scales the image to the size of the panel without preserving the aspect ratio.

Crop: Preserves the aspect ratio and scales the image to fill the screen. Depending on the aspect ratio

of the panel either the top/bottom or right/left areas of the image are cropped.

Anamorphic: Scales the input image such that it is displayed with a 16:9 aspect ratio when displayed on the screen. The image is further scaled to fit into the size of the panel. Depending on the aspect ratio of the panel the image is then either bordered by the right/left side or bottom/top of the panel. Non-used areas of the panel are displayed black (letterboxed).

Settings: Original, Full Screen, Crop, Anamorphic Default: Original

Page 28

5.5.2 Overscan

Overscan is used to slightly zoom into the image. Therefore, the border area of an image is no longer displayed on the screen. This cuts off unwanted features at the top or bottom from e.g. head switching in legacy video images.

Settings: 0 to 10 in steps of 1 Default: 0

5.5.3 Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ)

This menu provides settings to zoom and shrink the image, pan horizontally and tilt vertically within the image. PTZ can be switched on or off and the settings can be saved per input channel or globally, i.e. if applied globally the same PTZ settings are applied when switching input channels or changing the input mode.

The Zoom setting allows zooming into the image or shrink it.

When Aspect Lock is set to On, vertical zoom is disabled and the horizontal zoom or shrink factor is also used to vertically adjust the image. In this mode the aspect ratio is preserved.

When Aspect Lock is Off, horizontal and vertical scaling factors are set separately, regardless of the input image aspect ratio.

Page 29

Off raster panning is also allowed, i.e., the image can be shifted outside the active area of the display.

The PTZ settings can be set to the default settings with the reset button.

Settings: On/Off Default: Off

Page 30

5.6 Video Wall

The Video Wall menu provides controls to set up multiple units in a multi-screen application. Multiple screens are stitched together to provide a bigger display with higher resolution than a single display. Each display is driven by a separate unit.

In a multi projection display, the individual projections typically are chosen to overlap to give seamless transitions. Multiple LED walls or LCD/Plasma screens do not have overlapping regions and the blend Width is set to zero. When using Video Wall to drive one single large screen, it is essential that all units are I/O locked or genlocked, otherwise motion tear will be observed at the boundaries of the image processed by each unit.

5.6.1 Auto Zoom

Switches on the auto zoom resizing the video image to display the assigned part of the total image.

When Auto zoom is turned on, the processor will cut and scale the portion of the picture selected by the matrix size and position selected as described next

Settings: On/Off Default: Off

5.6.2 Units Wide/Units High

The dimensions of the multi-screen display is defined with this menu. The maximum number of screen supported is 16. This function is used in conjunction with the next function.

Settings: Units Wide: 1, 2, 3, 4 / Units High: 1, 2, 3, 4 Default: Units Wide: 1 / Units High: 1

5.6.3 Horizontal Pos/Vertical Pos

These settings provides the coordinates of the segment of the total image that the unit will process (cut out and resize). This function is used in conjunction with the previous function to select the blend regions to be provided even when auto zoom is turned off.

Settings: 0 to 3 indicating co-ordinates 0,0, to 3,3 for the maximum matrix size of 16 Default : 0, 0

In the example below a 4K image is split into four 1080p quadrants in a 2x2 configuration. All units are set to I/O lock to prevent image tear between the four displays.

Page 31

5.7 Enhancement

The enhancement menu provides image enhancement functions. Note that the enhancement settings apply only to video input signal and not to computer graphics signals.

5.7.1 Sharpness

Control of the sharpening enhancement filters' levels. These are peaking filters to improve highfrequency response. Note that setting this control too high on a signal which already has good high frequency response will cause ringing or ghosting.

Settings: -4 to 4 in steps of 1 Default : 0

5.7.2 Detail

This filter provides powerful 2D image enhancement which can be used to greatly improve detail definition and clarity without causing image ringing or ghosting. It improves both horizontal and vertical detail. Correct setting of the detail enhance filter can make SD signals look virtually indistinguishable from true HD. At setting 0 the filter is switched off, with setting 3 providing the highest effect.

Settings: 0, 1, 2, 3 Default : 1

Page 32

5.8 System

This selection contains functions which are more applicable to system operation than to picture adjustment.

5.8.1 User

Several unit settings can be stored under a user name. Different users can store their preferred settings and recall them by selecting their user name.

User settings are stored automatically and no special action is required by the user. For example, if the setting is changed from USER1 to USER2, then all of unit’s parameters at the time of the change will be stored under USER1. When the unit is changed back to USER1, the USER1 settings will be loaded back t the unit.
