The Kramer SID-H HDMI Step-In Commander
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer DigiTOOLS ® SID-H HDMI Step-In
Commander which is ideal for boardrooms and presentation rooms.
The Kramer SID-H is an HDMI and unbalanced stereo audio remote device that is used
to remotely take control of a compatible switcher, for example, the Kramer VP-81SID.
The commander is HDCP compliant and does not need a power adapter if located within
50m (164ft) of the switcher.
Figure 1 and Table 1 define the SID-H HDMI Step-In Commander.
