Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

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

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-44HDMI is a high-quality 4x4 matrix switcher for HDMI signals

that features the following:

Up to 1.65Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel

Four input selector buttons to switch to the four selectable outputs

Support for HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

An OFF button to disconnect an output

A PANEL LOCK button to prevent unwanted tampering with the

buttons on the front panel

1U-high, 19” size for mounting in a professional rack enclosure

The VS-44HDMI can be controlled 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 infra-red remote control transmitter

The ETHERNET

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).

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that

may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VS-44HDMI away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

3.1 Defining the EDID

The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data

) is a data-structure,

provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The

EDID enables the VS-44HDMI to “know” what kind of monitor is

connected to the output. The EDID includes the name of the manufacturer,

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 Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions

Overview

3.2 About HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed

all-digital

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

HDMI features:

A simple

interface 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

long

cable

A standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel

digital audio

on a single cable

8-channel digital audio, with spare bandwidth to accommodate future

enhancements and compliance with all ATSC HDTV standards

Superior, uncompressed digital video quality via a single cable

and user-friendly connector

Backward-compatibility with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

Two-way 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

Support for existing high-definition video formats (720p, 1080i,

and 1080p/60), standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL,

as well as 480p and 576p

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

to-analog conversions

2 See http://www.hdmi.org/about/adopters_founders.asp

3 See http://www.digital-cp.com/list/

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

3.3 Terminology Used in this User Manual

Table 1 defines some terms that are used in this user manual.

Table 1: Terminology Used in this User Manual

Term Definition

802.3 The standard specification for ETHERNET that is maintained by the Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP)

Allows the network administrator to distribute IP addresses from a central point

and automatically send a new IP address when an Ethernet point is plugged into

a different network location

Gateway A network position serving as an entry to another network. On the Internet, a

node or stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node.

IP Address A 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver (within a network

via a particular server or workstation) of data (HTML pages or e-mails) that is

sent in packets across the Internet. Every device connected to an IP network

must have a unique IP address. This address is used to reference the specific

unit.

Local Area Network (LAN) Computers sharing a common communications line or wireless link, which often

share a server within a defined geographic area.

Media Access Control

(MAC) Address

A computer's unique hardware number (or address) in a LAN or other network.

On an Ethernet LAN, the (MAC) address is identical to the Ethernet address.

Transmission Control

Protocol/Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP)

The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet that breaks the

message into appropriately sized packets for the network, and can be used as a

communications protocol in an intranet or an extranet.
