Kramer Electronics VS-6464DN - Manual (Page 8)

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
4
You can operate the VS-6464DN via the front panel buttons 1
• RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC or
other serial controller
or remotely
via:
• Ethernet over a LAN
• The infrared remote control transmitter
The VS-6464DN is housed in a 19" rack-mountable enclosure.
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
• Position your Kramer VS-6464DN in a location free from moisture
and away from excessive sunlight and dust
3.1 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID 2
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
) is a data-structure
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is
connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the video source to
“know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID
includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data
supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital
displays only) the pixel mapping data.
The Power Connect™ feature here means that the VS-6464DN 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, heavier gauge cable should be used 3 .
1 The VS-6464DN is a sophisticated device but has been designed to be as simple as possible to operate. Due to space
limitations on the front panel, 128 input/output selector buttons are instead substituted by a keypad. For details of how to
route inputs to outputs, see
Section 7.2
2 Defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
3 TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).
