Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer DigiTOOLS® SID-DP DisplayPort Step-In
Commander which is ideal for boardrooms and presentation rooms.
The Kramer SID-DP is an HDCP compliant DisplayPort and unbalanced stereo audio
remote device that is used to remotely take control of a compatible switcher, for
example, the Kramer VP-81SID. The commander does not need a power adapter if
located within 50m (164ft) of the switcher.
Figure 1 and Table 1 define the SID-DP DisplayPort Step-In Commander.

To connect the SID-DP as illustrated in Figure 2:
1. Connect the DP video source (for example, a laptop graphics source) to the
DisplayPort connector on the front panel of the SID-DP.
2. Connect the unbalanced stereo audio source (for example, a laptop graphics source)
to the 3.5mm mini jack AUDIO INPUT connector on the front of the SID-DP.
3. Using STP cable, connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 TP connector on the rear panel of
the SID-DP to the required input on the rear panel of the VP-81SID (up to 50m
away).
4. Optional—Connect the terminal block on the rear of the SID-DP to the remote
switch and LED.
Note: The LED supply includes a current limiting resistor and is designed to work
with any standard LED.
5. Connect the power adapter to the 12V DC connector on the rear of the SID-DP and
to the mains electricity (if the distance exceeds 50m (164ft) from the switcher).
