Introduction

1 Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been

providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range

of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting

professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded

most of our line, making the best even better! Our 1,000-plus different models

now appear in 11 groups1

Thank you for purchasing the Kramer VS-169TP 16x9 CAT 5 Matrix Switcher.

This unique matrix switcher, which utilizes cheap twisted pair cabling often pre-

installed in buildings these days, routes and distributes signals both from a local

source and at extended ranges (via twisted pair). It is designed especially for

installations where a high level of control possibilities from extended distances is

required. Typical uses include presentation and multimedia applications, as well

as long-range graphics distribution and control for schools, hospitals, security,

and stores.

that are clearly defined by function.

The package includes the following:

•The VS-169TP 16x9 CAT 5 Matrix Switcher

•Kramer RC-IR2Infrared Remote Control Transmitter (including the

required battery and a separate user manual3)

•Windows®-based Kramer control software

•Power cord2, rack “ears”, and this user manual3

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

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).

Getting Started

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 neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality

•Position your VS-169TP 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.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit

Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical

shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only

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

before installing

2.3 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

http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

2.4 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-169TP is a high-performance matrix switcher for video signals up to

WUXGA/1080p, analog stereo / S/PDIF audio and bidirectional RS-232

signals, over twisted pair CAT 5 cable. The unit can route any input to any or

all outputs simultaneously.

More specifically, the VS-169TP features:

•Compatibility with most Kramer twisted pair transmitters/receivers

•16 inputs for remote connection to CAT 5 transmitters and eight outputs

for remote connection to CAT 5 receivers

•Two switchable local inputs (built-in transmitters) and one local output (a

built-in receiver) allowing direct connection of the signals (UXGA, audio

and RS-232) for the units located near to the switcher

•Follow or breakaway switching for all signals (UXGA, audio, RS-232)

•48kHz/24-bit analog/digital conversion for broadcast quality stereo audio

•Baud rate of up to 19,200 for full-duplex RS-232 together with audio; one

source to multiple destination for straight RS-232 signal and priority

system or user-defined destination for reply signal

•Four-line LCD display for separate route indication of video, audio, or

RS-232

•Control via front panel pushbuttons, RS-232, RS-485, IP and IR remote

control

•15 user-programmable presets for quick-change configurations

•Kramer 2000 communication protocol

•100-240V AC worldwide power supply

•Standard 19” rack mount size – 2U

3.1 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

We recommend that you use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. There are

different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best

quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer

BC-STP is intended for digital signals and for analog signals where skewing

is not an issue. For cases where there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable,

Kramer BC-XTP, may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using

STP cables where possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic

interference was tested using those cables.

Although unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long

range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric

cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.

However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconformity to electromagnetic

standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.
