Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-44UHDA to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving 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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your Kramer VS-44UHDA away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

VS-44UHDA - Installing in a Rack

Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting the VS-44UHDA. Before installing in a

rack, 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.

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

•It is located within recommended environmental conditions. Operating ambient

temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed ambient room

temperature.

•Once rack mounted, there is enough air still flow around the VS-44UHDA.

•The VS-44UHDA is placed upright in the correct horizontal position.

•You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the VS-44UHDA to the supply

circuit, overloading the circuits may have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection

and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For

example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

•The VS-44UHDA

is earthed (grounded) and connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention when electricity is supplied indirectly (for example,

when the power cord is not plugged directly into the wall socket but to an extension

cable or power strip). Use only the supplied power cord.

To rack-mount the VS-44UHDA:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the VS-44UHDA:

Remove the screws from each side of the

VS-44UHDA (3 on each side), and replace them

through the ear brackets.

2. Place the ears of the VS-44UHDA against the rack

rails and insert the appropriate screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Some models, may feature built-in rack ears:

•Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use.

•Always mount the VS-44UHDA in the rack before connecting any cables or power.

•If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack

Adapters user manual for installation instructions available from our Web site

www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-44UHDA.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VS-44UHDA - Connecting the VS-44UHDA

Connecting the VS-44UHDA

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

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

device.

Although this connecting example shows only several inputs and outputs that are

connected, you can connect all the inputs and outputs simultaneously.

To connect the VS-44UHDA as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the following:

1. Connect up to four video sources to the inputs (from INPUT 1 to INPUT 4). For example,

connect:

•A laptop to the INPUT 1 HDMI connector.

•Blu-ray players to the INPUT 2, 3 and 4 HDMI connectors.

2. Connect up to four analog stereo audio sources (from IN 1 to IN 4). For example,

connect:

•The analog audio output of a laptop to the AUDIO IN 1 3.5mm mini jack.

•An i-Pod to the AUDIO IN 2 3.5mm jack.

3. Connect the four video HDMI outputs (from OUTPUT 1 to OUTPUT 4) to up to four

acceptors. For example, connect the:

•OUTPUT 1 HDMI connector to a projector.

•OUTPUT 2, OUTPUT 3 and OUTPUT 4 HDMI connectors each to a display.

4. Connect the four balanced analog output 5-pin terminal block connectors (from OUTPUT

1 to OUTPUT 4) to up to four audio acceptors. For example, connect OUTPUT 4 to

active speakers.

5. Connect the power cord.

We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine

6. If required, connect:

•The 5V/2A USB port to the USB port of another device to charge it.

•The ETHERNET port.

Connecting Balanced/Unbalanced Stereo Audio Output

The following are the pinouts for connecting to balanced or unbalanced stereo audio sources:

Figure 4: Connecting to a Balanced

Stereo Audio Output

Figure 5: Connecting an Unbalanced Stereo

Audio Acceptor to the Balanced Output

Connecting to VS-44UHDA via RS-232

You can connect to the VS-44UHDA via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC.

To connect to the VS-44UHDA via RS-232:

•Connect the RS-232 rear panel port on the VS-44UHDA unit via a

9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be

connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC.
