For instructions on upgrading the firmware, see the document Updating the VP-81KSi Firmware Using P3K Software.

The latest version of firmware and installation instructions can be downloaded from the Kramer Web site at www.kramerelectronics.com.

11EDID

Each input on the VP-81KSihas a factory default EDID loaded (see Section 14). The EDID for each input can be changed independently by uploading an EDID binary file to each input via the RS-232 port using Kramer EDID Designer1.
