2.3 About the Power Connect Plus™ Feature
The Power Connect Plus™ feature means that only the SID-X1N needs to be
connected to a power source when the SID-X1N and receiver are within 60m
(197ft) of each other. The Power Connect Plus™ feature applies as long as the
cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 60m on standard TP
cable. (Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the Power Connect Plus™
range).
2.4 Shielded Twisted Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable),
and the Kramer BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built
cables significantly outperform regular CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables.

6 Principles of Operation
This chapter describes the principles of operation of the SID-X1N and comprises:
• Video input selection (see Section 6.1
• Audio signal control (see Section 6.2)
The SID-X1N selects video and audio inputs based on the rules described below.
6.1 Video Input Selection
The video mode selection is set by the DIP-switches (see Section 8.1) to either of
the following:
• Manual
• Last connected
In manual mode the input is selected using the front panel buttons. Only inputs
with a live signal present can be selected.
In last connected mode the SID-X1N selects the input based on which input was
connected last. If the signal on this input is subsequently lost for any reason, the
input with a live signal with the highest priority is automatically selected. The
priority from highest to lowest is:
• HDMI
• DisplayPort
)
• DVI
• PC
Note: In last connected mode, manually selecting an input using the front panel
Input Select button overrides the last-connected automatic selection.
When an input cable is removed, there is a delay of either 0.5 or 3 seconds,
(selectable, see Section 8.1
another input can be automatically selected according to the signal priority shown
above.

6.2 Audio Signal Control
The Option DIP-switches 2 and 3 (see Section 8.1) control the manner in which
audio is handled.
The following table describes which audio signal is embedded in the output.
6.3 Automatic Output Shutdown
The SID-X1N can disable the output (signal and 5V) when there is no signal for a
specified period in:
• Manual mode—when the signal on the currently selected input is lost
• Automatic mode—when there is no signal on any of the inputs
SID-X1N - Principle s of Oper at io n 13
The delay period is set by the DIP-switch, (see Section 8.1
). At the end of this
period, both the output signal and the power supply to other devices (via
PowerConnect) are disabled.
The return of an input signal on either the currently s elected input (in manual
mode), or on any input (in automatic mode), immediately re-activates the output
and turns on PowerConnect.
7 Operating the SID-X1N
This chapter describes the operating procedures of the SID-X1N and comprises:
• Manually selecting an input (see Section 7.1
• Taking control of the switcher input (see Section 7.2)
• Locking the EDID (see Section 7.3)
Powering up the SID-X1N recalls from the non-volatile memory the last settings
that were in force when the device was powered down.
The SID-X1N inputs can be selected remotely via the VP-81SIDN. For details on
how to do so, see the VP-81SIDN User Manual.
7.1 Manually Selecting an Input
Note: When the button is lit it is inactive and pressing the button will not activate
the input.
To manually select an input:
• Press the INPUT SELECT button repeatedly until the required input is active
as indicated by the associated LED.
Note: Only inputs that have an active signal can be selected.
Note: The manual selection overrides any input selection when in last connected
mode and remains in effect until the device is power cycled.
)
14 SID-X1N - Operating the SID-X1N
7.2 Taking Control of the Switcher Input
To activate the input of the switcher to which the SID-X1N is connected, press the
STEP-IN button. If the switcher grants the SID-X1N access to the input, the STEPIN button lights. If the switcher does not grant access for some reason, the button
flashes for a few seconds and then does not light. One reason for this may be that
the switcher input connected to the SID-X1N has been set to have a lower priority
than the currently active input.
Note: Input priority on the switcher is set using the Kramer Control Software.
7.3 Locking the EDID
The currently stored EDID can be locked to prevent it from being overwritten. To
lock the current EDID, set DIP-switch 5 to ON (see Section 8.1
Note: The device must be power-cycled after you change this DIP-switch.
7.4 Adjusting the UXGA Input Phase
Adjust the phase to get a clean, sharp picture on the screen, with minimal
horizontal streaking and shimmering.
).
To adjust the UXGA input phase:
• Press and hold the Input Select button to increase the phase repetitively by
one degree per second
• Press and hold the Step-In button to decrease the phase repetitively by one
degree per second

12 Remote Commands
Note: The SID-X1N can be controlled remotely only via DGKat, for example from
the VP-81SID or TP-574, using Kramer Protocol 2000 remote commands.
This protocol uses four bytes of information as defined below. The default data
rate is 9600 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
This section describes:
• Kramer Protocol 2000 syntax (see Section 12.1
• Kramer Protocol 2000 instruction codes (see Section 12.2)
• RS-232 hardware interface (see Section 12.3)
12.1 Kramer Protocol 2000 Syntax
1st Byte
1st Byte: Bit 7 – Defined as 0
The 6-bit INSTRUCTION defines the function performed by the switcher(s). If a function is performed using the
machine’s keyboard, these bits are set with the INSTRUCTION NO. performed. The instruction codes are defined
according to the table below (INSTRUCTION NO. is the value set in N5…N0).
2nd Byte: Bit 7 – Defined as 1
I6…I0 – INPUT
When switching (i.e. instruction codes 1 and 2), the 7-bit INPUT is set as the input number to be switched. If switching is
done using the machi ne’ s front panel, these bits are set with the INPUT NUMBER switched. For other operations, these
bits are defined according to the table.
3rd Byte: Bit 7 – Defined as 1
O6…O0 – OUTPUT
When switching (i.e. instruction codes 1 and 2), the 7-bit OUTPUT is set as the output number to be switched. I f
switching is done using the machine’s front panel, these bits are set with the OUTPUT NUMBER switched. For other
operations, these bits are defined according to the table.
D – DESTINATION:
N5…N0 – INSTRUCTION
0 – Sends information to the switchers (from the PC)
1 – Sends information to the PC (from the switcher)

4th Byte: Bit 7 – Defined as 1
Bit 5 – Don’t care
OVR – Machine number override
M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER
This byte is used to address machines in a system by their machine numbers. When several machines are controlled
from a single serial port, they are usually configured together and each machine has an individual machin e num b er . If
the OVR bit is set, then all machine numbers accept (implement) the command and the addressed machine replies.
When a single machine is controlled over the serial port, always set M4…M0 to 1, and make sure that the machine itself
is configured as MACHINE NUMBER = 1.
12.2 Kramer Protocol 2000 Instruction Codes
All the values in the table are decimal, unless otherwise stated
that is switched
that is switched
OUTPUT byte = 6;
OR
Set as output # when
OUTPUT byte = 7;
OR
Set as blank period
(in steps of 25ms) when
OUTPUT byte = 32;
OR
Set = 0. *****
NOTES on the above table:
NOTE 2 – These are bi-directional definitions. If the switcher receives the code, it performs the instruction. If
the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the front panel), then these codes are sent.
For example, if the PC sends HEX code:
01 85 88 83
then the switcher (machine 3) switches input 5 to output 8.
If the user switches input 1 to output 7 using the front panel buttons, the switcher sends HEX code:
41 81 87 83
to the PC.
When the PC sends one of the commands in this group to the switcher, if the instruction is valid, the switcher
replies by sending the same four bytes to the PC that it received (except for the first byte, where the
DESTINATION bit is set high).
NOTE 5 – For the OUTPUT byte set as 6, the VIS source is the input selected using the OUTPUT byte.
Similarly, for the OUTPUT byte set as 7, the VIS source is the output selected using the OUTPUT byte. Note
that on some machines the sync source is not software selectable, but is selected using switches, jumpers,
etc.

1 – Input # 1
2 – External digital sync

4 – Dynamic sync
5 – Inter-machine sync
6 – Input # (INPUT byte)
7 – Output #(INPUT byte)
8 – User-defined sync
32 – RGBHV seamless switching
64 – Set for delayed switch
65 – Execute delayed switch
66 – Cancel delayed switch
SID-X1N - Remote Commands 27
NOTE 17 – For clean switching of RGBHV video, the seamless switching option can be used. The blanking
period for the transition of the RGB sources can be set in steps of 25 milliseconds.
For example, to set for 350ms blanking time (14 steps), send HEX code:
07 8E A0 81.
NOTE 18 – Delayed execution switches after a delay dictated by RS-232 control. To do this, the user sends
instruction 7 with the SET FOR DELAYED SWITCH option (64
(instruction 1) or pressing a front panel button. The switch is not executed (unless timed-out) until the
EXECUTE DELAYED SWITCH code is sent, or the SET FOR DELAYED SWITCH code is sent again. (The
mode is automatically cancelled after switching if the EXECUTE command is used).
For example, to connect input 4 to output 3 after a delay, send HEX code:
07 80 C0 81 (set for delayed switch)
01 84 83 81 (switch code)
then, after the required delay, send HEX code:
07 80 C1 81(execute delayed switch)
to implement the switch.
The following sources are supported:
HDMI input : 0x07 0x80 0x81 0x81<CR>
DP input : 0x07 0x80 0x85 0x81<CR>
DVI input : 0x07 0x80 0x89 0x81<CR>
VGA input : 0x07 0x80 0x8C 0x81<CR>
Note: The syntax of the binary values differs according to the terminal
communication software being used. For example, using Hercules, the syntax
appears as follows (for the HDMI input): $07$80$81$81<cr>
12.3 RS-232 Hardware Interface
) before sending the switch command
dec
RS-232 connection between the machine and controller is used for firmware
upgrade procedures and technical maintenance. The default data rate is 115200
baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
Note: Using any additional, non-standard RS-232 commands developed for
internal debugging purposes is not recommended. Such commands are only used
internally for performing firmware upgrades over the RS-232 hardware interface.
