Introduction 1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our 1,000-plus different models now appear in 11 groups 1 that are clearly defined by function.
Getting Started 2.1 Quick Start This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
Overview 3 Overview The SP-11D is a multi-standard / multi-format, broadcast quality video processor – ProcAmp, TBC, format converter (for mixing different types of equipment), and standards converter. It is a universal single-box solution for all your video processing requirements.
Your SP-11D Digital Video Processor To achieve the best performance: • Use only good quality connection cables 1 to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

Installing on a Rack 5 Installing on a Rack This section provides instructions for rack mounting the 1U unit.
Connecting Your SP-11D Digital Video Processor 6 Connecting Your SP-11D Digital Video Processor You can use your SP-11D to convert composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV or RGB/S), or SDI signals to composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV, RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV) and 1 SDI. The processing can be evaluated on a “Before/after” split-screen, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates. To connect the SP-11D Digital Video Processor, do the following 2: 1.
Connecting Your SP-11D Digital Video Processor 6.1 Connecting a PC You can connect to the unit via a crossed RS-232 connection, using for example, a PC. A crossed cable or null-modem is required as shown in method A and B respectively. If a shielded cable is used, connect the shield to pin 5. Method A (Figure 2)—Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the unit via a crossed cable (pin 2 to pin 3, pin 3 to pin 2, and pin 5 to pin 5) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC.
Connecting Your SP-11D Digital Video Processor 6.2 DIP-Switch Settings The SP-11D DIP-switch settings are defined in Table 3 and Table 4: Table 3: DIP-switch Settings DIP-Switch Pedestal 1 Set as follows: ON for pedestal of output signal (7.
Operating the SP-11D Digital Video Processor Figure 4: Connecting the SP-11D Digital Video Processor 7 Operating the SP-11D Digital Video Processor Operate your SP-11D Digital Video Processor via: • The front panel buttons • RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller To operate the SP-11D using the front panel buttons, do the following: 1.
Operating the SP-11D Digital Video Processor 2. When the AUTO button illuminates, the video standard corresponding to the selected input is detected automatically. The appropriate INPUT STANDARD LED lights: PAL B, PAL N, PAL M, NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43 or SECAM 1. When the AUTO button does not illuminate—that is, the SP-11D is in manual mode—select the desired video standard by pressing the AUTO button to cycle between the various video standards. 3.
Operating the SP-11D Digital Video Processor Press the + button or – button once to gradually increase or decrease the current level by one unit (the 7-segment display shows the new level) To increase or decrease the current level rapidly, press and hold down the + button or – button, continuously 1. To end the rapid adjustment, release the + button or – button Note, if you want to: • Set the normal level (“NORM”) of the current level, press and simultaneously hold down both the + button and – button.
Operating the SP-11D Digital Video Processor 7.2 Locking the Front Panel To prevent changing the settings unintentionally or tampering with the front panel, lock your SP-11D. Unlocking releases the protection mechanism. To lock the SP-11D: • Press the PANEL LOCK button (for about 2 seconds) until it illuminates — freezing the front panel controls.
