: composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV),
SD/HD-SDI (2 outputs), “Before/after” split-screen
•ProcAmp Functions: video gain, brightness, contrast, color, hue,
and sharpness (independent H and V). A full range of color control
features in both YUV and RGB color space
•5-line super-adaptive 2D comb filter for CVBS decoding
•Individual H and V chroma-luma delay
In addition, the SP-11HD Digital Video Processor includes:
•16 non-volatile memory setups available for saving the settings
•Power-down save
•A screen splitter that provides simultaneous "before and after"
image comparison on one monitor
•Full 10-bit digital processing throughout, for the highest possible
video quality
Control the SP-11HD:
•Using the front panel buttons and the 7-segment display
•Remotely, by RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch
screen system, PC, or other serial controller
1 All output formats are always available except where a format does not support the resolution in use. For example,
composite video and s-Video outputs are not available when an HD input (e.g. 1080p) is used

To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables1
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that
may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
SP-11HD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

5 Installing the SP-11HD HD-SDI Processor in a Rack
This section describes how to install the SP-11HD in a rack.
Before Installing in a rack How to Rack Mount
Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is
within the recommended range: To rack-mount a machine:
1. Attach both ear brackets to the
machine. To do so, remove the
screws from each side of the
machine (3 on each side), and
replace those screws through the
ear brackets.
2. Place the ears of the machine
against the rack rails, and insert the
proper screws (not provided)
through each of the four holes in the
rack ears.
Note that:
•In some models, the front panel
may feature built-in rack ears
•Detachable rack ears can be
removed for desktop use
•Always mount the machine in the
rack before you attach any cables
or connect the machine to the
power
•If you are using a Kramer rack
adapter kit (for a machine that is not
19"), see the Rack Adapters user
manual for installation instructions
(you can download it at:
http://www.kramerelectronics.com)
Operating temperature range +5°to +45°C (41°to 113°F)
Operating humidity range 10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing
Storage temperature range -20°to +70°C (-4°to 158°F)
Storage humidity range 5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing
!
CAUTION!!
When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking
care that:
1. It is located within the recommended environmental
conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a
closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the
room ambient temperature.
2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around
the machine.
3. The machine is placed straight in the correct
horizontal position.
4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting
the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the
circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate
nameplate ratings for information. For example, for
fuse replacement, see the value printed on the
product label.
5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way
and is connected only to an electricity socket with
grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where
electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord
is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for
example, when using an extension cable or a power
strip, and that you use only the power cord that is
supplied with the machine.
