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.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-1616DN-EM to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

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.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VS-1616DN-EM –Introduction

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your VS-1616DN-EM away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Safety Instructions

Caution:

•This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating

for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning:

•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

•Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

•Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by qualified

personnel only.

•To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating

specified on the product label which located on the bottom of the unit.

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.

•Fast switching on outputs to reduce or remove switching delay.

•Redundant, hot swappable power supply (optional).

•Modular, easily replaceable, low-noise cooling system.

•Simple firmware upgrade of compatible devices (see Upgrading the VS-1616DN-EM

Firmware on page 97).

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VS-1616DN-EM –Introduction

•Seamless integration with Kramer Network for switching, card status, port status,

firmware upgrades (of compatible cards), and more.

•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.

•EDID Capture –Copies and stores the EDID from a display device.

•Non-volatile EDID storage.

•Kramer Core™ – Flexible infrastructure conversion. 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 infrastructure options and sends the signals to compatible Kramer receivers.

•Max. Data Rate –10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel) when using compatible

cards.

•HDTV Compatible.

•HDCP Compliant –With DVI (HDCP), HDMI, F670, HDBaseT, HDMI with audio and

DGKat modules.

•HDMI Support.

•DGKat™ Signal Integration – Kramer’s unique technology for converting TMDS as well

as control and communication to signals that run over twisted pair cables.

For optimum range and performance, use recommended Kramer cables, available at

www.kramerav.com/product/VS-1616DN-EM.

•Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology – Rebuilds the digital signal to travel

longer distances.

•Optional Fast Switching Support –For fraction of a second switching.

•Modular & Easily Configurable Platform –Input or output module types can be mixed

and added in increments of 2 from 2x2 up to 16x16.

•Versatile Selection of Modules –Including DVI, HDMI, HDCP (HDMI over DVI

connector), Dual Link DVI, HDMI over Fiber, DVI over Fiber, HDBaseT, HDBaseT Lite,

HDMI with analog audio interface, HDMI with digital audio interface, VGA and DGKat

(HDMI over twisted pair).

•Kramer Protocol 3000.

•Flexible Configuration –To disable HDCP support and convert between HDMI and DVI.

You can operate the VS-1616DN-EM via the front panel buttons or remotely via:

•RS-232 or USB (VCOM) serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC or

other serial controller.

•Ethernet over a LAN.

•Kramer Network enterprise management platform.
