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 VS-44DT away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced, all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the HDBaseT

Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV –and also the home –environment as a

digital networking alternative, where it enables you to replace numerous cables and

connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example, uncompressed, full

high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control signals.

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

VS-44DT –Mounting VS-44DT

Mounting VS-44DT

This section provides instructions for mounting VS-44DT. Before installing, verify that the

environment is within the recommended range:

•Operation temperature –0to 40C (32 to 104F).

•Storage temperature –-40to +70C (-40 to +158F).

•Humidity –10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.

•VS-44DT must be placed upright in the correct horizontal position.

Caution:

•Mount VS-44DT before connecting any cables or power.

Warning:

•Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is

compatible for the device.

•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.

•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used for avoiding

overloading of the circuits.

•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

To mount the VS-44DT on a rack

Attach both ear brackets by removing the screws from each side of the

machine and replacing those screws through the ear brackets or place

the machine on a table.

For more information go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-44DT.

VS-44DT –Connecting the VS-44DT

Connecting the VS-44DT

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VS-44DT. After

connecting your VS-44DT, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

Figure 3: Connecting the VS-44DT 4x4 HDMI/HDBT Matrix Switcher

To connect the VS-44DT as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:

1. Connect the HDMI sources, (for example, Blu-ray players) to the HDMI IN 1 and IN 2

connectors.

2. Connect an external IR sensor to the IR 3 IN 3.5mm mini jack.

3. Connect the IR 1 OUT 3.5mm mini jack to an external IR emitter.

4. Connect the OUT 2 HDMI connector to an HDMI acceptor, (for example, a display).

5. Connect the OUT 1 HDBT RJ-45 connector to a compatible HDBT receiver, (for

example, the TP-580Rxr), and connect the HDMI output of the

TP-580Rxr to a display.

6. Connect the OUT 3 HDBT RJ-45 connector to a compatible HDBT receiver, (for

example, the TP-580Rxr), and connect the HDMI output of the

TP-580Rxr to a display.

7. Connect the AUDIO OUT 3.5mm mini jack to an audio acceptor, (for example, active

speakers).

8. Connect a controller via either RS-232 or a LAN to the Ethernet RJ-45 connector.

VS-44DT –Connecting the VS-44DT

Connecting the VS-44DT to a Serial Controller

You can connect the VS-44DT via an RS-232 connection to a serial controller, for example, a

PC.

To connect the VS-44DT via RS-232 to a serial controller:

•Connect the RS-232 CONTROL 3-pin terminal block on the rear of the

VS-44DT to the 9-pin D-sub connector on PC, (pin TX to pin 2, pin RX to pin 3, pin G to

pin 5).

Connecting the VS-44DT to a Serial Data

Source/Acceptor

You can connect the VS-44DT via an RS-232 connection to a serial data source or acceptor,

for example, a PC or device to be controlled.

To connect the VS-44DT via RS-232 to a serial data controller or acceptor:

•Connect the RS-232 DATA 3-pin terminal block on the rear of the

VS-44DT to the 9-pin D-sub connector on PC, (pin TX to pin 2, pin RX to pin 2, pin G to

pin 5).

Connecting to the VS-44DT via Ethernet

You can connect to the VS-44DT via Ethernet using either of the following methods:

•Directly to the PC using a crossover or straight cable (see Connecting the Ethernet Port

Directly to a PC on page 8).

•Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see Connecting the

Ethernet Port via a Network Hub or Switch on page 10).

Note: If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6, speak to your

IT department for specific installation instructions.

Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VS-44DT directly to the Ethernet port on your PC

using a crossover or straight cable with RJ-45 connectors.

This type of connection is recommended for identifying the VS-44DT

with the factory configured default IP address.

After connecting the VS-44DT to the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.

2. Click Change Adapter Settings.
