2.1 Quick Start

The following quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation

steps.

1 The complete list of Kramer cables is available from http://www.kramerelectronics.com

Overview

3 Overview

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

supports up to 64 x 64 ports1for various signals (depending on the type of

cards installed). It features a very high bandwidth2

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/ouput cards in the same chassis. For example, you can configure a

device as a 8 x 24 or a 64 x 8 matrix switcher to exactly suit your needs.

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.

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 6)

•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

•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

1 Can also be configured for other sizes (up to a maximum of 64 x 64)

2 For maximum bandwidth supported by each card type see Technical Specifications in Section 13

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

You can operate the VS-6464DN via the front panel buttons1

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

other serial controller

or remotely

via:

•Ethernet over a LAN

•The infrared remote control transmitter

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

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 that may

adversely influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer VS-6464DN in a location free from moisture

and away from excessive sunlight and dust

3.1 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID2

3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature

) is a data-structure

provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is

connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the video source 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.

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 used3

1 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 7.2

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

3 TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).

3.3 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection 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 and position your Kramer VS-

6464DN away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

3.4 Redundant Power Supplies

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

front of the device (see Figure 1) and which 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.
