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 i 2.1 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).
2.3 About the Power Connect Plus™ Feature The Power Connect Plus™ feature means that only the SID-X1N needs to be connected to a power source when the SID-X1N and receiver are within 60m (197ft) of each other. The Power Connect Plus™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 60m on standard TP cable. (Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the Power Connect Plus™ range). 2.
3 Overview The SID-X1N 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 or DGKat receiver, (for example, the VP-81SIDN or PT-572+). The SID-X1N also provides an unbalanced, stereo audio output. When the SID-X1N is connected to a switcher, it also controls the input and output selection of the switcher.
Support for digital audio formats A MegaTOOLS® sized enclosure. Two devices can be mounted in a rack using the optional RK-T2B adapter You can control the SID-X1N using the front panel buttons or remotely via contact closure switches.

Figure 2 defines the rear panel of the SID-X1N. Figure 2: SID-X1N Step-in Commander Rear Panel # Feature Function 1 AUDIO OUT 3.
5 Connecting the SID-X1N i Switch off the power to all devices before connecting them to your SID-X1N. After connecting your SID-X1N connect the power to other devices. Figure 3: Connecting the SID-X1N Step-in Commander To connect the SID-X1N as illustrated in Figure 3: 1. Connect up to four video sources, (for example, a Blu-ray disc player, a laptop and two computer graphics sources) to the video input connectors.
2. Connect the unbalanced stereo audio source, (for example, the audio output from the laptop) to the AUDIO IN 3.5mm mini jack. 3. Connect the AUDIO OUT 3.5mm mini jack to the unbalanced, stereo audio acceptor, (for example, a power amplifier with speakers). 4. Connect the TP OUT RJ-45 connector to a compatible switcher, (for example, VP-81SIDN). 5. Connect the REMOTE STEP-IN 3-way terminal block to a contact-closure switch and LED (see Section 5.1). 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-X1N 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 Connections To connect remote input indicator LEDs: 1. Connect pin 1 from the terminal block to the anode of the remote HDMI indicator LED. 2.
6 Principles of Operation This chapter describes the principles of operation of the SID-X1N and comprises: Video input selection (see Section 6.1) Audio signal control (see Section 6.2) The SID-X1N selects video and audio inputs based on the rules described below. 6.1 Video Input Selection The video mode selection is set by the DIP-switches (see Section 8.
6.2 Audio Signal Control The Option DIP-switches 2 and 3 (see Section 8.1) control the manner in which audio is handled. The following table describes which audio signal is embedded in the output. DIP-switch 2 6.3 DIP-switch 3 3.5mm Mini Jack Input Audio on Output On/Off On/Off On/Off VGA Off On/Off Inserted HDMI/DP/DVI 3.5mm mini jack 3.
7 Operating the SID-X1N This chapter describes the operating procedures of the SID-X1N and comprises: Manually selecting an input (see Section 7.1) Taking control of the switcher input (see Section 7.2) Locking the EDID (see Section 7.3) Powering up the SID-X1N recalls from the non-volatile memory the last settings that were in force when the device was powered down. The SID-X1N inputs can be selected remotely via the VP-81SIDN. For details on how to do so, see the VP-81SIDN User Manual. 7.
7.3 Locking the EDID The currently stored EDID can be locked to prevent it from being overwritten. To lock the current EDID, set DIP-switch 5 to ON (see Section 8.1). Note: The device must be power-cycled after you change this DIP-switch.
8 Configuring and Maintaining the SID-X1N 8.1 Setting the Configuration DIP-switch The 8-way dip-switch provides the ability to configure a number of device functions. A switch that is down is on, a switch that is up is off. By default, switch 2 is down (on), all the other switches are up (off). Figure 8: The Configuration DIP-switch Note: You must power cycle the device if you make any changes to the DIP-switch.
Note: DIP-switch 2 must be set to ON to enable DIP-switch 3 to control the DVI audio mode selection.
9 Wiring the Twisted Pair RJ-45 Connectors When using STP cable, connect/solder the cable shield to the RJ-45 connector shield.

12 Protocol 2000 Note: The SID-X1N can receive P2000 commands over HDMI only from the VP-81SID. This RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol uses four bytes of information as defined below. For RS-232, a null-modem connection between the machine and controller is used. The default data rate is 9600 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. Note: Compatibility with Kramer’s Protocol 2000 does not mean that a machine uses all of the commands below.
Bit 7 – Defined as 1 Bit 5 – Don’t care OVR – Machine number override M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER This byte is used to address machines in a system by their machine numbers. When several machines are controlled from a single serial port, they are usually configured together and each machine has an individual machine number. If the OVR bit is set, then all machine numbers accept (implement) the command and the addressed machine replies.
that on some machines the sync source is not software selectable, but is selected using switches, jumpers, etc. NOTE 17 – For clean switching of RGBHV video, the seamless switching option can be used. The blanking period for the transition of the RGB sources can be set in steps of 25 milliseconds. For example, to set for 350ms blanking time (14 steps), send HEX code: 07 8E A0 81. NOTE 18 – Delayed execution switches after a delay dictated by RS-232 control.
