VS-6464DN-EM –Introduction

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for

possible future shipment.

•Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-6464DN-EM to check for up-to-date user manuals,

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

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-6464DN-EM 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.

Safety Instructions

Warning: Class 1 laser product

•Invisible laser radiation present.

•Avoid long-term viewing of laser.

•Avoid the use of magnifying viewing aids or instruments (such as binoculars, telescopes,

microscopes and magnifying lenses, but not spectacles or contact lenses).

•Avoid placing optical devices in the emitted beam that could cause the concentration of

the laser radiation to be increased.

Caution:

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

equipment that is installed inside a building.

•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating

for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning:

•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

•Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

•Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by qualified

personnel only.

•To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating

specified on the product label which located on the bottom of the unit.

Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce

the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected

and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made

arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any

costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on

arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular

country go to our recycling pages at www.kramerav.com/support/recycling/.

About Fast Switching

Older display devices require a longer time between the loss of one digital signal and the

introduction of another, as well as a physical disconnection of the interconnecting cable in

order to be able to detect and adjust to the new video attributes and parameters. Normal

switching, therefore, introduced a 5V signal disconnection along with a delay in switching.

Many newer display devices, however, are now capable of accepting “on-the-fly” switching.

Depending on the display device in use, the VS-6464DN-EM allows for fast switching (minor

reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and the connection

kept alive), see Config Menu—Setting Output Port Parameters on page 29. Using the fast and

extra fast switching modes allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using high

performance display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.

About Power Connect™

The Power Connect™ feature here means that the VS-6464DN-EM can supply power to the

TP transmitters and receivers (for example, the TP-573 and TP-574) as long as the devices

are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the

cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard CAT 5 cable. For

longer distances, a heavier gauge cable should be used (a TP cable is still suitable for the

video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).

Overview

The Kramer VS-6464DN-EM is a high performance managed matrix switcher chassis for AV

signals. The unit is modular and populated from 8 x 8 to 64 x 64 ports in increments of eight

inputs and/or eight outputs. The unit supports various signals, depending on the type of cards

installed, and includes two (optional three) redundant power supplies and a controller and

testing module that can monitor and test any input or output in the matrix. It features a very

high bandwidth of up to 3.4Gbps (for the chassis only, effective bandwidth of the system

depends on the input / output cards, see Using the Input / Output Cards on page 33) that

ensures transparent performance even in the most critical applications. The cards re-clock

and equalize the signals and the chassis can route any or all inputs to any or all outputs

simultaneously.

The VS-6464DN-EM is highly configurable –you can add or remove inputs and outputs

independently in groups of eight and mix different types of input/output cards in the same

chassis. For example, you can configure a device as an 8 x 24 or a 64 x 8 matrix switcher to

exactly suit your needs.

The VS-6464DN-EM features:

•Full 64 x 64 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 64 input digital signals to any

or all of the 64 outputs (see Connecting the VS-6464DN-EM on page 11).

•Easy access to 60 pre-set memory locations for quick access to user-defined setups.

•Fast switching on outputs to reduce or remove switching delay.

•Support for redundant, hot swappable power supplies.

•Simple firmware upgrade of compatible cards (see Upgrading VS-6464DN-EM and Input

/ Output Card Firmware on page 53).

•Seamless integration with Kramer Network for switching, card status, port status,

firmware upgrades (of compatible cards), and more.

•A 40 character by 2 line LCD that shows the operational status or the configuration

menu.

•A lock function to prevent tampering with the front panel.

•A default EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) for each input.

•EDID Capture –Copies and stores the EDID from a display device.

•Non-volatile EDID storage.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VS-6464DN-EM –Introduction

•Kramer Core™ – Flexible infrastructure conversion. Copper, fiber or Twisted Pair, all can

be used at the same time according to input/output module selection. The matrix

receives signals from compatible Kramer transmitters, automatically converts between

available infrastructure options and sends the signals to compatible Kramer receivers.

•Max. Data Rate –10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel) when using compatible

cards.

•HDTV Compatible.

•HDCP Compliant –With DVI (HDCP), F670, and DGKat modules.

•HDMI Support.

•DGKat™ Signal Integration – Kramer’s unique technology for converting TMDS as well

as control and communication to signals that run over twisted pair cables. For optimum

range and performance using, use recommended Kramer cables, available at

www.kramerav.com/product/VS-6464DN-EM

•Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology – Rebuilds the digital signal to travel

longer distances.

•Optional Fast Switching Support –For fraction of a second switching.

•Modular & Easily Configurable Platform –Input or output module types can be mixed

and added in increments of 8 from 8x8 up to 64x64.

•Versatile Selection of Modules –Including DVI, HDCP (HDMI over DVI connector),

HDMI over Fiber, DVI over Fiber, VGA and DGKat (HDMI over twisted pair).

•Kramer Protocol 3000.

•Flexible Configuration –To disable HDCP support and convert between HDMI and DVI.

You can operate the VS-6464DN-EM via the front panel buttons or remotely via:

•RS-232 or USB (VCOM) serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC or

other serial controller.

•Ethernet over a LAN.

•Kramer Network enterprise management platform.

The VS-6464DN-EM is a sophisticated device but has nevertheless been designed to be

simple to operate using an intuitive front panel keypad. For details of how to route inputs to

outputs, see Switching Actions on page 19.

The VS-6464DN-EM is housed in a 19" rack-mountable enclosure.
