Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-88DVI is an 8x8 DVI Matrix Switcher that accepts up to eight DVI

inputs and routes the selected DVI1input signal to any or all of eight DVI

outputs.

The VS-88DVI features:

•An OFF button to disconnect an output

•A PANEL LOCK button to prevent unwanted tampering with the

buttons on the front panel

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

EDID handling and processing algorithm that ensures Plug and

Play operation for DVI systems.

•16 preset memory locations for quick access to common

configurations

•2U height to fit into a standard 19” professional rack enclosure

Control the VS-88DVI using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

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

or other serial controller

•The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter

•The ETHERNET

•An external remote IR receiver (optional), see Section 4.1

3.1 Defining the EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID2) 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 graphic 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.

1 DVI-D (Digital). Note that only the digital signal (DVI-D) is available on the DVI connector

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

3.2 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only high-quality connection cables1to avoid 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 and position your Kramer VS-

88DVI away from moisture, excessive sunlight, and dust

3 Covered by a cap. The 3.5mm connector at the end of the internal IR connection cable fits through this opening

4 Optional. Can be used instead of the front panel (built-in) IR receiver to remotely control the machine (only if the internal

IR connection cable has been installed)

Your VS-88DVI

4.1 Using the IR Transmitter

You can use the RC-IR3 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in IR

receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver1. The

external IR receiver can be located up to 15 meters away from the machine. This

distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used with three extension

cables2.

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer

dealer to insert the internal IR connection cable3with the 3.5mm connector

that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the

external IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.
