VS-808TP - 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

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check

if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cable) 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 Kramer VS-808TP 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.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

No operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter

that is provided with the unit

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

VS-808TP - Getting Started

2.3 Using Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our

digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the

Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23

(CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform

regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.

2.4 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 http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

VS-808TP - Overview

3 Overview

Thank you for purchasing the Kramer VS-808TP 8x8 Twisted Pair Matrix Switcher.

This unique matrix switcher which utilizes economical TP (Twisted Pair) cabling

often pre-installed in buildings these days, routes and distributes signals both from

a local and/or remote source, and at extended ranges. It is designed especially for

installations where a high level of control possibilities is required from extended

distances. Typical uses include presentation and multimedia applications, as well

as long-range graphics distribution and control for schools, hospitals, security, and

stores.

The VS-808TP features:

Eight inputs and eight outputs for remote connection to compatible TP

transmitters and receivers

A switchable local input (built-in transmitter) and output (built-in receiver)

allowing direct connection of the signals (up to WUXGA, audio and RS-232)

for the units located near to the switcher (TP-133/TP-134 only)

Follow or breakaway switching for audio signals

Baud rate of up to 115200 for full-duplex RS-232

Two-line LCD display for separate route indication of video, audio or RS-232

Control via front panel buttons, RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet

15 user-programmable presets for quick-change configurations

Kramer 2000 communication protocol (limited)

100-230V AC worldwide power supply

Standard 1U 19” rack mount size
