Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-1616DN-EM to check for up-to­date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

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-1616DN-EM 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.

2.3 Safety Instructions (Laser)

• Invisible laser radiation present

• Avoid long-term viewing of laser

• Avoid the use of magnifying viewing aids or instruments (such

as binoculars, telescopes, microscopes and

but not spectacles or contact lenses)

• Avoid placing optical devices in the emitted beam that could

cause the concentration of the laser radiation to be increased

2.4 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

.

2.5 About Fast Switching

4 VS-1616DN-EM – Getting Started

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 Section 7.2.4

. 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.

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.

2.7 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).

VS-1616DN-EM – Getting Started 5

3 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 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.

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.

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
