•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-44DT away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced, all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the HDBaseT

Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV –and also the home –environment as a

digital networking alternative, where it enables you to replace numerous cables and

connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example, uncompressed, full

high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control signals.

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

VS-44DT –Mounting VS-44DT

Mounting VS-44DT

This section provides instructions for mounting VS-44DT. Before installing, 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.

•VS-44DT must be placed upright in the correct horizontal position.

Caution:

•Mount VS-44DT before connecting any cables or power.

Warning:

•Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is

compatible for the device.

•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.

•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used for avoiding

overloading of the circuits.

•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

To mount the VS-44DT on a rack

Attach both ear brackets by removing the screws from each side of the

machine and replacing those screws through the ear brackets or place

the machine on a table.

For more information go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-44DT.

VS-44DT –Connecting the VS-44DT

Connecting the VS-44DT

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

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

Figure 3: Connecting the VS-44DT 4x4 HDMI/HDBT Matrix Switcher

To connect the VS-44DT as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:

1. Connect the HDMI sources, (for example, Blu-ray players) to the HDMI IN 1 and IN 2

connectors.

2. Connect an external IR sensor to the IR 3 IN 3.5mm mini jack.

3. Connect the IR 1 OUT 3.5mm mini jack to an external IR emitter.

4. Connect the OUT 2 HDMI connector to an HDMI acceptor, (for example, a display).

5. Connect the OUT 1 HDBT RJ-45 connector to a compatible HDBT receiver, (for

example, the TP-580Rxr), and connect the HDMI output of the

TP-580Rxr to a display.

6. Connect the OUT 3 HDBT RJ-45 connector to a compatible HDBT receiver, (for

example, the TP-580Rxr), and connect the HDMI output of the

TP-580Rxr to a display.

7. Connect the AUDIO OUT 3.5mm mini jack to an audio acceptor, (for example, active

speakers).

8. Connect a controller via either RS-232 or a LAN to the Ethernet RJ-45 connector.

VS-44DT –Connecting the VS-44DT

Connecting the VS-44DT to a Serial Controller

You can connect the VS-44DT via an RS-232 connection to a serial controller, for example, a

PC.

To connect the VS-44DT via RS-232 to a serial controller:

•Connect the RS-232 CONTROL 3-pin terminal block on the rear of the

VS-44DT to the 9-pin D-sub connector on PC, (pin TX to pin 2, pin RX to pin 3, pin G to

pin 5).

Connecting the VS-44DT to a Serial Data

Source/Acceptor

You can connect the VS-44DT via an RS-232 connection to a serial data source or acceptor,

for example, a PC or device to be controlled.

To connect the VS-44DT via RS-232 to a serial data controller or acceptor:

•Connect the RS-232 DATA 3-pin terminal block on the rear of the

VS-44DT to the 9-pin D-sub connector on PC, (pin TX to pin 2, pin RX to pin 2, pin G to

pin 5).

Connecting to the VS-44DT via Ethernet

You can connect to the VS-44DT via Ethernet using either of the following methods:

•Directly to the PC using a crossover or straight cable (see Connecting the Ethernet Port

Directly to a PC on page 8).

•Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see Connecting the

Ethernet Port via a Network Hub or Switch on page 10).

Note: If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6, speak to your

IT department for specific installation instructions.

Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VS-44DT directly to the Ethernet port on your PC

using a crossover or straight cable with RJ-45 connectors.

This type of connection is recommended for identifying the VS-44DT

with the factory configured default IP address.

After connecting the VS-44DT to the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.

2. Click Change Adapter Settings.
