•Advertising

•Rental and staging

2 VS-88DTP - 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

•Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com 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 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-88DTP away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution: There are no operator-serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: You use only the power cord that is supplied with the

unit. 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/.

4 VS-88DTP - Overview

3 Overview

The VS−88DTP is a high−performance matrix switcher for DVI signals. The unit

accepts up to eight DVI inputs, reclocks and equalizes the signals, and routes to

any or all DGKat™ twisted pair outputs simultaneously for connection to

compatible TP receivers, for example, the PT-572HDCP+ or TP-574.

More specifically, the VS-88DTP features:

•A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel)

•8 DVI-D inputs on DVI-I connectors

•8 DGKat twisted pair outputs on RJ-45 connectors

•HDTV compatibility (no HDCP compliance)

•DGKat™ Signal Integration that converts TMDS as well as control and

communication to signals that run over twisted pair cables. Kramer strongly

recommends using Kramer DGKat™ cables designed specifically for

optimum performance

•Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital

signal integrity to travel longer distances

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

handling & processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for

DVI systems

•A system range of up to 30m (98ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat524

cable; up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; up to

90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded BC-DGKat7a23 cable

•Flexible control options including: front panel, IR remote (included), RS-232

(K-Router™ Windows®-based software is included), RS-485, Ethernet

(Windows®-based Ethernet Configuration Manager & Virtual Serial Port

Manager included)

•Output disconnect for each output

•Front panel lockout to prevent tampering with the front panel buttons

•16 memory locations that store multiple switches as presets to be recalled

and executed when needed

VS-88DTP - Overview 5

•A worldwide power supply of 100-240V AC

•A standard 19” rack mount size of 1U with included rack “ears”

Note: The VS-88DTP requires STP (shielded twisted pair) cable. For optimum

range and performance, use Kramer's BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623 or

BC-DGKat7a23 cables. The transmission range depends on the signal resolution,

graphics card and display used. The distance using non-Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6,

and CAT 7 cables may not reach these ranges. Use only shielded cable where

both ends of the shield are soldered to ground.
