The Kramer infra-red remote control transmitter

The ETHERNET

3.1 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID

) is a data-structure,

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

EDID enables the VS-42HDMI 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 One for each output

Overview

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

3.2 About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital

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

In particular, HDMI:

Provides a simple

interface 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 lengthy

cable

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

digital audio

on a single cable

Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,

with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and

requirements

Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video

quality via a single cable

, and user-friendly connector

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

Supports 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/60), standard definition formats such as NTSC or

PAL, as well as 480p and 576p.

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

to-analog conversions

2 See http://www.hdmi.org/about/adopters_founders.asp

3 See http://www.digital-cp.com/list/

4 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

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

6 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

7 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-42HDMI away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

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.

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.

Installing the VS-42HDMI on a Rack

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

5 Installing the VS-42HDMI on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack

mount.

Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

5 to 65% RHL, non-condensing

-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

Operating humidity range

Storage temperature range

Storage humidity range

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking

care that:

It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the

room ambient temperature.

Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the machine

(3 on each side), and replace those

screws through the ear brackets.

Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided) through

each of the four holes in the rack

ears.

Note that:

Detachable rack ears can be removed

for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the rack

before you attach any cables or

connect the machine to the power

If you are using a Kramer rack adapter

kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see

the Rack Adapters user manual for

installation instructions (you can

download it at:

http://www.kramerelectronics.com)



In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the

machine.

The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal

position.

You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product

label.

The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to supply

connections other than direct connections to the

branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips),

and that you use only the power cord that is supplied

with the machine.
