2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution 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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your VS-1616D 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.
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; Kramer’s BC-UNIKat shielded twisted pair (U/FTP)
cables. These specially built cables significantly outperform regular CAT 6 and
CAT 7a cables.

2.5 About Fast Switching

Older display devices require a longer time between the loss of one digital signal
and the introduction of another, as well as a physical disconnection of the
interconnecting cable in order to be able to detect and adjust to the new video
attributes and parameters. Normal switching, therefore, introduced a 5V signal
disconnection along with a delay in switching. Many newer display devices,
however, are now capable of accepting “on-the-fly” switching.
4 VS-1616D – Getting Started
Depending on the display device in use, the VS-1616D allows for fast switching
(minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and
the connection kept alive), see Section 7.2.4
modes allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using high performance
display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.

2.6 About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the
HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the consumer home environment as
a digital home networking alternative where it enables you to replace numerous
cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example,
uncompressed full high definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control
signals.
The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

3 Overview

The Kramer VS-1616D is a high performance matrix switcher chassis for AV
signals. The unit is modular and populated from 2 x 2 to 16 x 16 ports in increments
of two inputs and/or two outputs. The unit supports various signals, depending on
the type of cards installed and includes a power supply, control module and a test
module that can monitor and test any input and output in the matrix. It features a
very high bandwidth of up to 3.2Gbps (for the chassis only, effective bandwidth of
the system depends on the input / output cards, see Section 10
transparent performance even in the most critical applications. The cards re-clock
and equalize the signals and the chassis can route any or all inputs to any or all
outputs simultaneously.

5.1 Port Numbering

On all cards apart from the DVI dual link cards, there are two physical ports on
each card and numbering of ports is sequential from top to bottom and left to right.
Each DVI dual link card provides one physical port which causes the loss of one
number in the numbering sequence of that card only. A sample numbering is shown
in Figure 5

5.1.1 EDID Numbering Examples

The following EDID configuration is based on the port numbering shown in Figure 5
and lists requested switching configurations and their results.
AV data flow is: source > VS-1616D > display. EDID information flow is: display > VS-1616D > source, which means that the EDID input is the display side and the EDID output is the AV source side.
VS-1616D - Connecting the VS-1616D 15
When assigning EDIDs, note that the top row of the LCD display labeled OUTPUTS
relates to the ports connected to the sources (AV inputs), and the bottom row of the
LCD display labeled INPUTS relates to the ports connected to displays (AV
outputs).
