Step 3: Install the VP-778
To rack mount the machine attach both ear brackets to the machine (by removing the three screws
from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the ear brackets) or place the
machine on a table.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-778. For best results, we recommend that you always use
Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VP-778.
Note that you can connect DVI-U to an analog (VGA, composite or component video) or digital (HDMI or DVI) source.

Step 8: Pass serial data via the device:
The VP-778 lets you route serial data through its various ports in the following ways:
•Serial matrix – up to eight sets of unidirectional connections can be configured for passing serial data from a selected source
to a selected destination.
Select the source/destination ports: port tunneling, the DATA RS-232 port, HDBT IN1, HDBT IN2 HDBT OUT1 or HDBT
OUT2.
•USR buttons – a programmable serial command passes to a selected destination with a press of a USR button.
Select the destination ports: port tunneling, the DATA RS-232 port, HDBT IN1, HDBT IN2 HDBT OUT1, HDBT OUT2 or all
