Getting Started

2 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

 Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

3 Overview

The VS-81ETH is a high performance CAT5 8x1 switcher for any kind of digital

or analog signal that can even switch digital or analog bi-directional signals.

The VS-81ETH 8x1 Universal CAT 5 Switcher:

 Uses a carefully designed PCB to reduce stubs on high frequency signals

 Stores the last selection in non-volatile memory when the power is

switched off, and recalls it when the machine is turned on again

 Has a PANEL LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel

Control the VS-81ETH 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

 The Kramer Infra-Red remote control transmitter

 Ethernet

 Remote contact-closure

The VS-81ETH is dependable, rugged, and fits into one vertical space (1U)

of a standard 19” professional rack. 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 Kramer VS-81ETH

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This section describes how to:

 Connect the VS-81ETH rear panel (see section 5.1)

 Connect the VS-81ETH to a controlling device via RS-232 (see section 

5.2), RS-485 (see section 5.3) and/or the Ethernet (see sections 5.5 and 

5.6)

 Set the dipswitches (see section 5.4)

 Connect to a remote-connector (see section 5.7)

 Connect several VS-81ETH machines (see section 5.8)

Optional. When using a shielded cable for RS-485, it may be advantageous to connect the shield to ground at one end of the

cable

Connecting and Controlling the VS-81ETH

5.1 Connecting the VS-81ETH Rear Panel

This section describes how to connect the VS-81ETH either as an 8x1 switcher

(see section 5.1.1) or in the reverse direction (see section 5.1.2).

5.1.1 Connecting the VS-81ETH as an 8x1 Switcher

To connect the VS-81ETH, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the

following

1. Connect a computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT of a PT-110

XGA Line Transmitter and connect

the LINE OUTPUT on that PT-110

to the IN/OUT 1 RJ-45 connector on the VS-81ETH.

Similarly connect another computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT

of another PT-110

XGA Line Transmitter and connect

LINE OUTPUT

on that PT-110 to the IN/OUT 8 RJ-45 connector on the VS-81ETH.

You can connect up to 8 inputs

2. On the VS-81ETH, connect

the OUT/IN connector to the LINE IN

RJ-45 connector on a TP-120

XGA Line Receiver unit, and connect the

XGA OUT connector on that TP-120 unit to the acceptor (for example,

a projector).

3. Set the dipswitches (see section 5.4).

4. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to the RS-232 port (see

section 5.2) and/or RS-485 port (see section 5.3).

5. Connect the power cord

To switch an input to the output, press an IN/OUT SELECTOR button.

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-81ETH. After connecting your VS-81ETH, switch

on its power and then switch on the power on each device

Refer to the separate user manual PT-110, WP-110, TP-120, which can be downloaded from the Internet at this URL:

http://www.kramerelectronics.com

3 Using an STP cable with CAT5 connectors at both ends, with a range of more than 300ft (>100m), see section 5.1.3

You do not have to connect all 8 inputs, connect only those that are required

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

5.1.2 Connecting the VS-81ETH in the Reverse Direction

You may connect the VS-81ETH in the reverse direction so that the input

signal from the OUT/IN connector is transmitted to any of the IN/OUT

connectors. You can only route this source to one IN/OUT channel at a time

To connect the VS-81ETH, in the reverse direction, do the following

1. Connect the VGA/UXGA computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT

of a PT-110

XGA Line Transmitter and connect

the LINE OUTPUT on

that PT-110 to the OUT/IN RJ-45 connector on the VS-81ETH.

Select by pressing the desired IN/OUT button

2 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-81ETH. After connecting your VS-81ETH, switch

on its power and then switch on the power on each device

Refer to the separate user manual PT-110, WP-110, TP-120, which can be downloaded from the Internet at this URL:

2. On the VS-81ETH, connect

the IN/OUT connector to the LINE IN

RJ-45 connector on a TP-120

XGA Line Receiver unit, and connect the

XGA OUT connector on that TP-120 unit to the acceptor (for example,

a projector). You can connect up to 8 outputs

3. Set the dipswitches (see section 5.5).

4. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to the RS-232 port (see

section 5.2) and/or RS-485 port (see section 5.3).

5. Connect the power cord

To transmit the signal from the OUT/IN connector to a device connected to

the IN/OUT connector, press the appropriate IN/OUT button.
