2 RC-13TC - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

•Review the contents of this user manual

•Use Kramer high-performance high-resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

This user manual is written for the end user and does not contain details regarding

installation and configuration. This information can be found in the K-Config

Configuration Guide, available from http://www.kramerelectronics.com.

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration

in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer RC-13TC away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

RC-13TC - Overview 3

3 Overview

This user manual descr bes the RC-13TC Video Transport Controller. The

RC-13TC controller interface acts as an all-in-one, remote control panel for several

AV sources in any venue, such as, classrooms, boardrooms or auditoriums. The

RC-13TC streamlines operations by enabling remote transport control of the video

source in the room. The RC-13TC features:

•Programmable, backlit buttons (configurable by your system integrator to

display any color) that are able to execute one or multiple commands

(programming performed by your system integrator)

•A bidirectional RS-232 serial port for control of AV equipment

•Two K-NET™ ports

•Two IR control ports

•Support for firmware upgrade via USB or the K-NET™ connection (when

installed as an auxiliary device)

6 RC-13TC - Using Your Video Transport Controller

5 Using Your Video Transport Controller

This user manual is applicable once the unit is configured and installed (by your

system integrator), therefore the following procedures are not detailed in this

manual:

•Hardware installation

•Programming the LCD readout using K-Config Configuration software

(described in the K-Config Configuration Guide)

•Programming the button actions using K-Config Configuration software

5.1 The RC-13TC as a Standalone Video Transport

Controller

Figure 3: Sample RC-13TC Standalone Video Transport Controller Configuration

RC-13TC - Using Your Video Transport Controller 7

When the RC-13TC functions as a standalone, wall mounted video transport

controller, as illustrated in Figure 3:

•The RC-13TC is connected directly to the controlled devices (see

Section 5.1.1

•A +12V DC power supply to the unit is required (see

)

Section 5.1.2

•The RC-13TC requires programming

)

5.1.1 Connecting the RC-13TC as a Standalone Video Transport

Controller

The RC-13TC can be connected as a standalone video transport controller as

illustrated in the example in Figure 3with connections as descrbed in the following

table:

Your system integrator configures and installs your room controller to suit your requirements.

This example describes only one possible configura ion.

Connector Connect to:

GND/+12V Power adapter

IR 1 Blu-ray DVD player 1

IR 2 Blu-ray DVD player 2

PROGRAM (USB) PC—required only for configuring the RC-13TC

RS-232 Display or switcher

5.1.2 Connecting a Standalone RC-13TC to a Power Supply

When the RC-13TC is employed as a standalone room controller it should be

connected to the power supply as illustrated in Figure 4.

Figure 4: RC-13TC Standalone Power Supply Connection

8 RC-13TC - Using Your Video Transport Controller

5.2 The RC-13TC as an Auxiliary Control Panel

When the RC-13TC is used as an auxiliary control panel, as illustrated in Figure 5:

•It requires only a K-NET connection to another auxiliary device

•A power supply unit is not required as the K-Net connection carries the

power supply

Power supplies are sold separately. Consult your Kramer dealer for details.

•No programming of the auxiliary panel is needed

•Depending on the setup, the device ID may need setting using the K-Config

application

•The RS-232 and IR ports may be used to control devices

5.2.1 Connecting Multiple RC-13TC Devices as System Controllers

Connect the RC-13TC devices to the SV-552 as illustrated in Figure 5.

Figure 5: RC-13TC Connections when used as part of a K-NET System

5.2.2 Setting the K-NET Termination

The first and last physical devices on a K-NET bus must be terminated (in this

example, devices 1 and 3).
