SID-X1N - Introduction |

2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment
•Review the contents of this user manual
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/SID-X1N to check for up-to-date
i user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer highresolution, high-quality cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
•Position your Kramer SID-X1N away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
!This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
2.2Safety Instructions
!Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with the unit
Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing

2.3About 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).
2.4Shielded 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.
2.5Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country go to our recycling pages at www.kramerav.com/support/recycling/.

3 Overview
The SID-X1N accepts an HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI and PC graphics video input, as well as an unbalanced stereo audio input (which is embedded into the output signal), and transmits the signal via TP (Twisted Pair) cable to a compatible switcher or DGKat receiver, (for example, the VP-81SIDN or PT-572+).
The SID-X1N also provides an unbalanced, stereo audio output. When the SID-X1N is connected to a switcher, it also controls the input and output selection of the switcher.
In particular the SID-X1N: features:
•HDTV support
•HDMI with x.v.Color™ and 3D
•HDCP compliancy—works with sources that support HDCP repeater mode
Note: When using a MacBook as a source and the content is protected using HDCP, if the display does not support HDCP, no video is transmitted
•Input signal detection based on video clock presence
•Automatic input selection based on manual selection or last connected input
•Automatic analog audio detection and embedding
•Automatic output shutdown when the input signal is lost (with a configurable delay)
•Installation up to 50m (164ft) from the switcher, (30m with the TP-574)
•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID handling & processing algorithm ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI systems
•A lockable EDID
•VGA phase adjustment

SID-X1N - Overview |
•PowerConnectPlus – A single connection to the receiver powers both units. The higher voltage PowerConnectPlus also powers regular PowerConnect devices via auto-negotiation
•Equalization and reclocking of the data
•A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gb per graphics channel)
•Support for digital audio formats
•A MegaTOOLS® sized enclosure. Two devices can be mounted in a rack using the optional RK-T2B adapter
You can control the SID-X1N using the front panel buttons or remotely via contact closure switches.
