1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis.
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 • Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables i ! 2.1 Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.2 Shielded Twisted Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; 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 6 and CAT 7a cables. 2.
3 Overview The SID-X1 accepts an HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI and PC graphics video input, as well as an unbalanced stereo audio input (which is embedded into the output signal), and transmits the signal via TP (Twisted Pair) cable to a compatible switcher (for example, the VP-81SID). When the SID-X1 is connected to a switcher, it also controls the input and output selection of the switcher.
4 Defining the SID-X1 Step-in Commander Figure 1 defines the front panel of the SID-X1. Figure 1: SID-X1 Step-in Commander Front Panel # Feature Function 1 AUDIO IN 3.
Figure 2 defines the rear panel of the SID-X1. Figure 2: SID-X1 Step-in Commander Rear Panel # Feature Function 1 TP OUT RJ-45 Connector Connect to a compatible switcher, for example, VP-81SID using CAT 6 or higher specification cable 2 REMOTE STEP-IN 3-way Terminal Block Connect to the remote, contact closure step-in switch and LED (see Section 5.1) 3 REMOTE SELECT 3-way Terminal Block Connect to the remote, contact closure input selection switch and LED (see Section 5.
5 Connecting the SID-X1 i Switch off the power to all devices before connecting them to your SID-X1. After connecting your SID-X1 connect the power to other devices. Figure 3: Connecting the SID-X1 Step-in Commander To connect the SID-X1 and the as illustrated in Figure 3: 1. Connect up to four video sources (HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI and PC graphics) to the video input connectors. Note: If only one live input is connected, the device automatically detects the live channel and activates it.
2. Connect the unbalanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 3.5mm mini jack connector. 3. Connect the TP OUT RJ-45 connector to a compatible switcher (for example, VP-81SID). 4. Optional—Connect the REMOTE STEP-IN 3-way terminal block to a contact closure switch and LED (see Section 5.1). 5. Optional—Connect the REMOTE SELECT 3-way terminal block to a momentary contact closure switch and LEDs (see Section 5.2). 6.
To connect a remote step-in switch and LED as illustrated in the example in Figure 4: 1. Connect pins 2 and 3 from the terminal block to the remote step-in switch. 2. Connect pin 1 from the terminal block to the anode of the remote step-in LED. 3. Connect pin 3 from the terminal block to the cathode of the remote step-in LED. 5.
5.3 Connecting the Remote Input Selection LEDs You can connect remote, input selection LEDS to the LED terminal block on the rear panel of the SID-X1 to indicate which is the active input. Figure 6 illustrates the connections from the terminal block to the LEDs. Figure 6: Remote Input Indicator LED Wiring To connect remote input indicator LEDs: 1. Connect pin 1 from the terminal block to the anode of the remote HDMI indicator LED. 2.
5.4 Audio Mode Selection The Option DIP-switches 1 and 2 (see Section 6.3) control the manner in which audio is handled. Note: DIP-switch 1 must be set to ON to enable DIP-switch 2 to control the audio mode selection. DIP-switch State Function 1 Auto/Manual Audio Mode Off (default) Automatic—if an audio source is connected to the 3.5mm mini jack the analog (external) audio is transmitted.
6 Operating the SID-X1 Powering up the SID-X1 recalls the last settings (that is, the configuration of the device when it was powered down) from the non-volatile memory. The SID-X1 inputs can be selected remotely via the VP-81SID. For details on operating the SID-X1 remotely via the VP-81SID, see the VP-81SID User Manual. 6.1 Selecting an Input To select an input, press the INPUT SELECT button repeatedly until the required input is active as indicated by the associated LED.
7 Wiring the Twisted Pair RJ-45 Connectors When using STP cable, connect/solder the cable shield to the RJ-45 connector shield. Figure 8 defines the TP pinout using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors.
8 Technical Specifications INPUTS: Video: 1 HDMI on an HDMI connector 1 DP on a DisplayPort connector 1 DVI-D on a DVI-I connector 1 VGA on a 15-pin HD (F) connector Audio: 1 Unbalanced stereo audio on a 3.5mm mini jack OUTPUTS: 1 TP on an RJ-45 STANDARDS: HDMI with Deep Color, x.v.
