2.1 Quick Start

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

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-42H is a high quality 4x2 matrix switcher for HDMI signals.

In particular, the VS-42H features:

•Support of up to 1.65Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel1

•Two sets of input selector buttons

•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an intelligent

EDID handling and processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play

operation for HDMI systems

(eight in total) to switch to the outputs

•HDCP support (High Definition Digital Content Protection)

•Kramer reKlocking™ & Equalization Technology that rebuilds the

digital signal to travel longer distances

•A PANEL LOCK button to prevent unwanted tampering with the

buttons on the front panel

•Installation in one vertical space of a standard 19” professional rack

enclosure

Control the VS-42H using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

•RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or

other serial controller

•The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter

•The ETHERNET

3.1 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID3

) is a data-structure,

provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The

EDID enables the VS-42H to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to

the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type,

the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data

and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

1 Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions

2 From INPUT 1 to INPUT 4, TO OUTPUT 1 and from INPUT 1 to OUTPUT 4, TO OUTPUT 2

3 Defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)

3.2 About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed

all-digital1

In particular, HDMI

audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and

home cinema industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and

sound quality. Note that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter

and an HDCP Licensee.

•Provides a simple

3interface between any audio/video source, such as a

set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a

digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy4

•Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel

digital audio

cable

•Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital

audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements

and requirements

on a single cable

•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video

quality via a single cable6

•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

, and user-friendly connector

•Supports CEC, two-way communication between the video source

(such as a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new

functionality such as automatic configuration and one-button play

HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats

(720p, 1080i, and 1080p, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as

NTSC or PAL, as well as 480p and 576.

1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-

to-analog conversions

2 HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI

licensing LLC

3 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables

currently used in A/V systems is reduced

4 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m

5 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to

support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats

6 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a

simple, cost-effective manner

3.3 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

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 and position

your VS-42H away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

3.4 Terminology Used in this User Manual

Table 1defines some terms that are used in this user manual.

Table 1: Terminology Used in this User Manual

Term Definition

802.3 The standard specification for ETHERNET that is maintained by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Dynamic Host

Configuration

Protocol (DHCP)

Allows the network administrator to distribute IP addresses from a central point and

automatically send a new IP address when an Ethernet point is plugged into a different

network location.

Gateway A network position serving as an entry to another network. On the Internet, a node or

stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node.

IP Address A 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver (within a network via a

particular server or workstation) of data (HTML pages or e-mails) that is sent in packets

across the Internet. Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP

address. This address is used to reference the specific unit.

Local Area Network

(LAN)

Computers sharing a common communications line or wireless link, which often share a

server within a defined geographic area.

Media Access

Control (MAC)

Address

A computer's unique hardware number (or address) in a LAN or other network. On an

Ethernet LAN, the (MAC) address is identical to the Ethernet address.

Transmission

Control

Protocol/Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP)

The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet that breaks the message

into appropriately sized packets for the network, and can be used as a communications

protocol in an intranet or an extranet.
