Note: Throughout this user manual the chassis configuration is shown with 64 DVI

inputs and 64 DVI outputs as a representation only. The following cards are

available and may be mixed in the same chassis:

DVI

DVI (HDCP)

DVI (over 4LC fiber optic cable)

VS-6464DN - Getting Started

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/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

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 Kramer VS-6464DN 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/.

VS-6464DN - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VS-6464DN is a high performance matrix switcher chassis that

supports up to 64 x 64 ports (it can also be configured for other sizes (up to a

maximum of 64 x 64)) for various signals (depending on the type of cards

installed). It features a very high bandwidth of up to 3.2Gbps (for the chassis only,

effective bandwidth of the system depends on the I/O cards) 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.

For maximum bandwidth supported by each card type see Technical Specifications in

Section 13

The VS-6464DN is highly configurable–you can add or remove inputs and outputs

independently in groups of eight and mix different types of input/output cards in the

same chassis. For example, you can configure a device as an 8 x 24 or a 64 x 8

matrix switcher to exactly suit your needs.

The VS-6464DN features:

Full 64 x 64 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 64 input digital

signals to any or all of the 64 outputs (with limitations, see Section 5.1)

Easy access to 59 preset memory locations for quick access to user-defined

setups

The Kramer 2000 Protocol for serial control

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

I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ –Intelligent EDID

handling and processing algorithm ensures plug and play operation for

DVI/HDMI systems

Non-volatile EDID storage

VS-6464DN - Overview

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

Equalization and re-clocking on all card types

Support for redundant power-supplies

You can operate the VS-6464DN via the front panel buttons or remotely via:

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

serial controller

Ethernet over a LAN

The infrared remote control transmitter

The VS-6464DN is a sophisticated device but has been designed to be as simple as

possible to operate. Due to space limitations on the front panel, 128 input/output

selector buttons are instead substituted by a keypad. For details of how to route inputs

to outputs, see Section 6.2.

The VS-6464DN is housed in a 19" rack-mountable enclosure.

3.1 About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect™ feature here means that the VS-6464DN 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, heavier gauge cable should

be used. (TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for

feeding the power at these distances).

VS-6464DN - Overview

3.2 Redundant Power Supplies

The VS-6464DN is supplied with three power supplies accessible from the front of

the device (see Figure 1) that are held in place with thumb-screws. The power

supplies operate in a redundant mode whereby the failure of any one power

supply does not cause the device to stop operating.

Note: The device must have at least two working power supplies to operate

correctly.

3.3 Defining the VS-6464DN 64x64 Digital Matrix Switcher

respectively.
