VS-44UHD –Installing in a Rack

Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting VS-44UHD. Before installing in a rack,

verify that the environment is within the recommended range:

•Operation temperature –0to 40C (32 to 104F).

•Storage temperature –-40to +70C (-40 to +158F).

•Humidity –10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.

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

▪It is located within recommended environmental conditions. Operating ambient

temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed ambient room

temperature.

▪Once rack mounted, there is enough air flowing around VS-44UHD.

▪VS-44UHD is placed upright in the correct horizontal position.

▪You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting VS-44UHD to the supply circuit,

overloading the circuits may 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.

▪VS-44UHD is earthed (grounded) and connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention when electricity is supplied indirectly (for example,

when the power cord is not plugged directly into the wall socket but to an extension cable

or power strip). Use only the supplied power cord.

To rack-mount VS-44UHD:

1. Attach both rack ears to VS-44UHD:

Remove the screws from each side of

VS-44UHD (3 on each side), and replace them

through the rack ears.

2. Place the rack ears of VS-44UHD against the

rack rails and insert the appropriate screws (not

provided) through each of the four holes in the

rack ears.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VS-44UHD –Connecting the VS-44UHD

Connecting the VS-44UHD

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VS-44UHD. After

connecting your VS-44UHD, connect its power and then switch on the power to each

device.

Although this connecting example shows only several inputs and outputs that are

connected, you can connect all the inputs and outputs simultaneously.

To connect the VS-44UHD as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the following:

1. Connect up to four video sources to the HDMI inputs (from INPUT 1 to INPUT 4). For

example, connect:

▪A laptop to the INPUT 1 and 4 HDMI connectors.

▪Blu-ray players to the INPUT 2 and 3 HDMI connectors.

2. Connect the four video HDMI outputs (from OUTPUT 1 to OUTPUT 4) to up to four

acceptors. For example, connect the:

▪OUTPUT 1 HDMI connector to a projector.

▪OUTPUT 2, OUTPUT 3 and OUTPUT 4 HDMI connectors each to a display.

3. Connect the power cord .

We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine.

4. Connect the:

▪ETHERNET port to a system controller.

▪RS-232 3-pin terminal block connector to a system controller.

5. If required, connect the 5V/2A USB port to a device to charge it.

Figure 3: Connecting to the VS-44UHD Rear Panel

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VS-44UHD –Connecting the VS-44UHD

Connecting to VS-44UHD via RS-232

You can connect to the VS-44UHD via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC.

Connect the RS-232 terminal block on the rear panel of the VS-44UHD to a PC/controller, as

follows:

•TX pin to Pin 2.

•RX pin to Pin 3.

•GND pin to Pin 5.

Figure 4: RS-232 Connection

Connecting VS-44UHD via the ETHERNET Port

You can connect to the VS-44UHD via Ethernet using either of the following methods:

•Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a

PC on page 8).

•Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see Connecting the

Ethernet Port via a Network Hub or Switch on page 10).

If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6, speak to your IT

department for specific installation instructions.

Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VS-44UHD directly to the Ethernet port on your PC

using a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.

This type of connection is recommended for identifying the VS-44UHD with the factory

configured default IP address.

After connecting the VS-44UHD to the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.

2. Click Change Adapter Settings.

3. Highlight the network adapter you want to use to connect to the device and click Change

settings of this connection.
