3 Overview
The Kramer VS-6464DN is a high performance matrix switcher chassis that
supports up to 64 x 64 ports (it can also be configured for other sizes (up to a
maximum of 64 x 64)) for various signals (depending on the type of cards
installed). It features a very high bandwidth of up to 3.2Gbps (for the chassis only,
effective bandwidth of the system depends on the I/O cards) 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.
For maximum bandwidth supported by each card type see Technical Specifications in
Section 13
The VS-6464DN is highly configurable–you can add or remove inputs and outputs
independently in groups of eight and mix different types of input/output cards in the
same chassis. For example, you can configure a device as an 8 x 24 or a 64 x 8
matrix switcher to exactly suit your needs.
The VS-6464DN features:
• Full 64 x 64 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 64 input digital
signals to any or all of the 64 outputs (with limitations, see Section 5.1
)
• Easy access to 59 preset memory locations for quick access to user-defined
setups
• The Kramer 2000 Protocol for serial control
• A 40 character by 2 line LCD that shows the operational status or the
configuration menu
• A lock function to prevent tampering with the front panel
• A default EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) for each input
• I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID
handling and processing algorithm ensures plug and play operation for
DVI/HDMI systems
• Non-volatile EDID storage
4 VS-6464DN - Overview
• Kramer Core™—FLEXIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE CONVERSI O N! Copper,
fiber or Twisted Pair–all can be used at the same time according to
input/output module selection. The matrix receives signals from compatible
Kramer transmitters, automatically converts between available infrastruct ure
options and sends the signals to compatible Kramer receivers
• Equalization and re-clocking on all card types
• Support for redundant, hot -swappable power-supplies
You can operate the VS-6464DN via the front panel buttons or remotely via:
• RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC or other
serial controller
• Ethernet over a LAN
• The infrared remote control transmitter
The VS-6464DN is a sophisti c ate d dev i ce but has be en designed to be as simple as
possible to operate. Due to space limitations on the front panel, 128 input/output
selector buttons are instead substituted by a keypad. For details of how to route inputs
to outputs, see Section 6.2
The VS-6464DN is housed in a 19" rack-mountable enclosure.
.
3.1 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that the VS-6464DN 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, heavier gauge cable should
be used. (TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for
feeding the power at these distances).

3.2 Redundant, Hot-Swappable Power Supplies
The VS-6464DN is supplied with two po wer suppli es accessible from the front of
the device (see Figure 1
a third power supply to provide redundancy for mission critical installations. When
three power supplies are installed, they operate in a redundant mode whereby the
failure of any one power supply does not cause the device to stop operating.
The PS-1DN is a hot-swappable power supply. It is not necessary to power down
the chassis to replace a power supply.
Note: The device must have at least two working power supplies to operate
correctly.

16 Communication Protocols
This RS-232 communication protocol uses four bytes of information as defined
below.
For RS-232, a null-modem connection between the machine and controller is
used. The default data rate is 9600 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
16.1 Syntax
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 bi ts 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 swit che d. 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.
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 machine number. I f
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.
D – DESTINATION:
N5…N0 – INSTRUCTION
0 – Sends information to the switchers (from the PC)
1 – Sends information to the PC (from the switcher)
