Recycling 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/.

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.

Depending on the display device in use, the VS-1616DN-EM allows for fast switching (minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and the connection kept alive), see Config Menu—Setting Output Port Parameters on page 29. Using the fast and extra fast switching modes allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using high performance display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.

VS-1616DN-EM – Introduction

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.

About Power Connect™

The Power Connect™ feature here means that the VS-1616DN-EM can supply power to the TP transmitters and receivers (for example, the TP-573 and TP-574) as long as the devices

are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the

cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, a heavier gauge cable should be used (a TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).

Overview

The Kramer VS-1616DN-EM 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 3.4Gbps (for the chassis only, effective bandwidth of the system depends on the input / output cards, see

Using the Input / Output Cards on page 42) that ensures 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.

The VS-1616DN-EM is highly configurable – you can add or remove inputs and outputs independently in groups of two and mix different types of input/output cards in the same chassis. For example, you can configure a device as a 4 x 12 or a 16 x 8 matrix switcher to exactly suit your needs.

The VS-1616DN-EM features:

• Full 16 x 16 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 16 input digital signals to any or all outputs (see Connecting the VS-1616DN-EM on page 11.

• Easy access to 60 pre-set memory locations for quick access to user-defined setups.

VS-1616DN-EM – Connecting the VS-1616DN-EM

Connecting the VS-1616DN-EM

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VS-1616DN-EM. After connecting your VS-1616DN-EM, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

You do not have to connect all the inputs and outputs, connect only those that are required. In the following example, only two inputs and two outputs are connected.

The configuration of DVI input/output cards shown in Figure 4 is merely a sample representation and different input / output cards may be mixed as required (for limitations, see

Port Numbering on page 12). Exactly the same principles apply to installations using other

card types. To connect the VS-1616DN-EM, as illustrated in the example in Figure 4, do the following:

1. Connect up to 16 DVI video sources (for example, computer graphics sources).

2. Connect up to 16 DVI video acceptors (for example, DVI and DVI LCD displays).

3. If required, connect a PC or remote controller to the RS-232 port (see Connecting to the

VS-1616DN-EM via RS-232 on page 13) and/or the Ethernet port (see Connecting to the VS-1616DN-EM via Ethernet on page 13).

4. Connect the power cord.

5. If necessary, review and set the system configuration using the Menu (see Using the

Configuration Menu on page 23).

Given an input signal that is HDCP encoded, the VS-1616DN-EM outputs a signal only if the output port to which it is switched supports HDCP.

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.

There is no IN 4 or OUT 4 because these slots contain DVI dual link cards.

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.

None (error message displayed)

AV data flow is: source > VS-1616DN-EM > display. EDID information flow is: display >

VS-1616DN-EM > source, which means that the EDID input is the display side and the EDID

output is the AV source side. This is the reverse of the AV data flow direction.

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).

Operating – Front Panel Buttons

This section describes:

• The startup display (see Startup Display on page 17).

• Using the selector buttons (see Using the Selector Buttons on page 18).

• Confirming actions (see Confirming Actions on page 18).

• Switching options (see Switching Actions on page 19).

• Locking the front panel (see Locking the Front Panel Buttons on page 22).

You can also operate the device using the embedded web pages (see Operating and

Configuring – Embedded Web Pages on page 34).

Startup Display

After switching on the power, the LCD display shows the following screens in sequence (text in the LCD Display may vary according to machine settings).

Figure 11: Default Startup Status Display Sequence

The VS-1616DN-EM does not have separate output and input buttons. Instead, the front panel includes a numeric keypad within the Selector Buttons area (see Defining the

VS-1616DN-EM 2x2 to 16x16 Modular Multi-Format Managed Digital Matrix Switcher on page 6). This numeric keypad lets you enter both the output and input numbers

as well as various numeric configuration values (see Using the Selector Buttons on page 18). When the unit is powered-on, the last matrix setup that was used is loaded. Use either the

setup recall (records a stored configuration from a preset, see Setup Menu—6: recall

setup on page 26) or default setup recall (for quick retrieval of a commonly used

programmable default setup, see Recalling the Default Setup on page 21) functions to retrieve other setups.

VS-1616DN-EM – Operating – Front Panel Buttons

Viewing the Display

Figure 11 shows the output-input matrix on the LCD display. The LCD display can show only

13 out of the 16 available matrix combinations at once. To view any of the matrix

combinations use the ◄ or the ► buttons on the front panel to shift the sliding window to the

right or left. This sliding window functionality is enabled when:

• The switcher is in between operations (waiting for its next operation while all previous operations are complete or cancelled)

• Recalling a setup using the ◄ or ► buttons

When entering an output/input combination, the contents of the LCD display automatically shift to indicate the current status of the selected output.

Using the Selector Buttons

For numbers between 1 and 9, the VS-1616DN-EM can handle two digit numbers as well as single digit numbers. When entering a single digit number (for example 5), you can either press 0 followed by 5, or 5 followed by ENTER.

Pressing 00 (or 0, ENTER) is only relevant for an input and is used to disconnect the currently entered output number from the input.

For example, the following display indicates that outputs 8 and 12 are disconnected from any input (note that the corresponding inputs in the second line are blank):

08 10

13 06

The ESC button is used to cancel an operation without affecting the current status. For example, if you enter an incorrect number by mistake, press the ESC button to cancel the operation.

At any stage, if no button is pressed within approximately 15 seconds, the automatic timeout causes the VS-1616DN-EM to exit the operation and revert to the output/input display.

VS-1616DN-EM – Input / Output Card Hardware Installation Instructions

Input / Output Card Hardware Installation Instructions

The VS-1616DN-EM input / output cards mount in one of the 16 slots on the rear of the

VS-1616DN-EM chassis. Slots are numbered from left to right (The process for inserting

cards is the same for all cards / chassis and the figures below are for illustration purposes only.)

An input card must only be mounted in a slot designated for input cards (slots 1 to 4 and 9 to

12) and an output card must only be mounted in a slot designated for output cards (slots 5 to 8 and 13 to 16).

Figure 20: Inserting the Card into a Slot

VS-1616DN-EM – Installing a PS-16DN Power Supply

Installing a PS-16DN Power Supply

The VS-1616DN-EM is equipped with a single PS-16DN power supply unit and includes an optional redundant power supply for mission critical installations. When two power supplies are installed, the VS-1616DN-EM distributes the load between the power supplies. Kramer recommends using two power supply units for extending power supply life-span.

The PS-16DN is a hot-swappable power supply. It is not necessary to power down the chassis in order to install or replace a second power supply.

When installing/replacing a power supply, all normal static discharge precaution measures must be observed to prevent damage to the equipment.

For detailed instructions on installing/replacing a power supply in your VS-1616DN-EM, see the PS-16DN Power Supply Installation Instructions, available at www.kramerav.com.

The following table describes the behavior of the PS-1 / PS-2 LEDs:
