VP-435 - Getting Started

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 http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

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-435 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.

VP-435 - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VP-435 is a high-quality component video/UXGA to HDMI scaler.

It accepts one of three inputs: either component video (Y, Pb, Pr; Y, Cb, Cr and

YUV; compatible with both SD and HD component) on RCA connectors, computer

graphics on a 15-pin HD connector, or an HDMI signal, selected via a front panel

selector button or via the remote contact closure switch. It scales the video, embeds

the audio, and outputs the signal to the HDMI output.

The VP-435 Component / UXGA HDMI Scaler:

Is HDTV compatible and the resolution can be scaled up to 480p, 576p,

720p, 1080i or 1080p via a front panel selector button

Other resolutions can be selected via the OSD menu.

Has analog audio inputs for the COMP, UXGA and HDMI inputs

Automatically detects and selects the audio source for the HDMI input.

Default selection is HDMI –if this is not present, then the machine uses the

audio from the analog input

Comes with an On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment,

accessible via the IR remote control and via the front-panel buttons

Has a non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used

Is housed in a desktop sized enclosure and is 12V DC fed

Control your VP-435:

Directly, via the front panel push buttons

Remotely, from the infrared remote control transmitter

Remotely, from the REMOTE contact closure switch

4 Connecting the VP-435

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

VP-435. After connecting your VP-435, connect its power and then

switch on the power to each device.

To connect your VP-435, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2, do the following:

You do not have to connect all the inputs, connect only those that are required.

1. Connect a component video source (for example, a DVD player) to the

COMP In Y, Pb, Pr, RCA connectors, and to the COMP In L and R audio

RCA connectors.

2. Connect a computer graphics source to the UXGA In 15-pin HD connector,

and to the UXGA In audio 3.5mm mini jack connector.

3. Connect an HDMI source (for example, a DVD player) to the HDMI In

connector, and to the HDMI In analog audio 3.5mm mini jack connector.

Alternatively, you can connect the DVI connector on the DVD player to the HDMI

connector on the VP-435 via a DVI-HDMI adapter.

4. Connect the HDMI Out connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a

plasma display).

5. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).

4.1 Connecting the Remote Terminal Block

The contact closure remote control pins operate in a similar way to the Input

selector button. Using the contact closure remote control (also known as push-to-

make momentary contact) you can select the HDMI, the COMP or the UXGA

input. To do so, momentarily connect the required input (HDMI, COMP or UXGA)

pin on the REMOTE terminal block connector to the GND (Ground) pin, as Figure 3

illustrates.

DO NOT Connect more than one PIN to the GND PIN at the same

time.
