Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-81SID can route one of eight TP (Twisted Pair), a DVI or an HDMI input

to either a TP or an HDMI output. Input selection can also be controlled remotely;

•Using Step-In modules (for example, the SID-DP)

•Contact closure switches

•A serial controller via RS-232 or RS-485

•A PC via Ethernet connected over a LAN

The device also outputs balanced and unbalanced stereo audio, as well as digital

audio.

In particular, the VP-81SID:

•Has a bandwidth of 1.65Gbps per video channel

•Can be cascaded with up to four VP-81SID devices via the HDMI port to

provide up to 37 Twisted Pair inputs

•Supports the SID range of Step-in Commander panels for remote inputs and

remote step-in control

•Has a USB power port that can provide power to USB devices, (for

example, the Kramer KW-11T)

•Is HDCP compliant

•Provides EDID capture – Copies and stores the EDID from a display device

You can control the VP-81SID using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

•RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system,

PC or other serial controller

•Ethernet over a LAN

•The Kramer RC-IR3 Infrared Remote Control Transmitter or the

C-A35M/IRR-50 infrared remote extension cable transmitter (optional)

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 and position your VP-81SID away from

moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Overview

3.1 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID1) is a data-structure, provided by

a display that describes its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the

display’s source). The EDID enables the PC or laptop to “know” what kind of

monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name,

product type, timing data supported by the display, display size, luminance data

and (for digital displays only) pixel mapping data.

3.2 About HDMI—General Description

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital2

audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema

industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound quality. Note that

Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.

In particular, HDMI3:

•Provides a simple4interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-

top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital

flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy5cable

•Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel

digital audio6on a single cable

•Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,

with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and

requirements

•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video

quality via a single cable7, and user-friendly connector

•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

•Supports two-way CEC communication between the video source (such as a

DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as

automatic configuration and one-button play

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

2 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog

conversions

3 HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC

4 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently

used in A/V systems is reduced

5 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m

6 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to support

Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats

7 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a simple, cost-

effective manner

Overview

•HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats

(720p, 1080i, and 1080p, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as

NTSC or PAL, as well as 480p and 576p.

3.3 About HDCP—General Description

The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard developed by

Intel, protects digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI

connections between two HDCP-enabled devices to eliminate the reproduction of

copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such as movie studios) from

having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP standard provides for the

secure and encrypted transmission of digital signals.

3.4 About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect™ feature here means that digital Step-In Commanders (for

example, the SID-DP and SID-DVI) do not require an independent power supply

if the distance between the VP-81SID and the Step-In Commander does not exceed

50m (164ft). The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry

power. For longer distances heavy gauge cable or a power adapter should be used.

Note: Analog Step-In Commanders (for example, the SID-VGA and SID-X1) do

require independent power supplies.

3.5 Using Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our

digital twisted pair products; the Kramer BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable),

and the Kramer BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built

cables significantly outperform regular CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.

In applications where plenum cable is required, use the Kramer BCP-DGKat724

(CAT 7 23 AWG cable).
