Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The high quality Kramer VS-88DTP is an 8x8 DVI - Twisted Pair Matrix

Switcher that accepts up to eight DVI inputs and routes any or all of them to

any or all eight TP (Twisted Pair) outputs for connection to compatible TP

receivers, for example, the PT-572HDCP+ or TP-574.

The VS-88DTP features:

•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an intelligent

EDID handling and processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play

operation for DVI systems

•An OFF button to disconnect one or all outputs

•A LOCK button to prevent unwanted tampering with the front panel

buttons

•16 preset memory locations for storing configuration configurations

•1U height that fits a standard 19” professional rack enclosure

You can control the VS-88DTP using the front panel buttons, or remotely

via:

•RS-232/RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen

system, PC or other serial controller

•The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter

•Ethernet over a LAN

•An external remote IR receiver (optional, see Section 4.1)

3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only high-quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VS-88DTP away from moisture, excessive sunlight, and dust

to avoid interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated

noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

Overview

3.2 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.
