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 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-HDKat6a (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-X2N 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 HDBaseT (Twisted Pair) cable to a compatible receiver (for example, the TP-580Rxr). The device also provides an unbalanced, stereo audio output. The SID-X2N provides: A bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel) in normal mode; up to 4.95Gbps (1.
A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gb per graphics channel) 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-X2N using the front panel buttons, or remotely via contact closure switches.

5 Connecting the SID-X2N i Switch off the power to all devices before connecting them to your SID-X2N. After connecting your SID-X2N connect the power to other devices. Figure 3: Connecting the SID-X2N Step-in Commander To connect the SID-X2N 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.
2. Connect the unbalanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 3.5mm mini jack. 3. Connect the AUDIO OUT 3.5mm mini jack to the unbalanced, stereo audio acceptor. 4. Connect the TP OUT RJ-45 connector to a compatible receiver (for example, the TP-580Rxr). 5. Connect the REMOTE STEP-IN 3-way terminal block to a contact closure switch and LED (see Section 5.1). 6. Connect the REMOTE SELECT 3-way terminal block to a momentary contact closure switch and LEDs (see Section 5.2). 7.
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-X2N 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-X2N and comprises: Active input selection (see Section 6.1) Audio signal control (see Section 6.2) The SID-X2N selects video and audio inputs based on the rules described below. 6.1 Active 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 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.
7 Operating the SID-X2N This chapter describes the operating procedures of the SID-X2N and comprises: Selecting an input manually (see Section 7.1) Locking the EDID (see Section 7.2) Powering up the SID-X2N recalls the last settings (that is, the configuration of the device when it was powered down) from the non-volatile memory. 7.1 Selecting an Input Manually To select an input, press the INPUT SELECT button repeatedly until the required input is active as indicated by the associated LED.
8 Configuring and Maintaining the SID-X2N 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, all switches are up (off).
9 Wiring the Twisted Pair RJ-45 Connectors When using STP cable, connect/solder the cable shield to the RJ-45 connector shield. Figure 9 defines the TP pinout using a straight pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors.

12 Protocol 3000 The SID-X2N can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000. This section describes: 12.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 12.1) Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 12.2) Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax 12.1.1 Host Message Format Start Address (optional) Body Delimiter # Destination_id@ Message CR 12.1.1.
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20) 12.1.3 Command Terms Command A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'). Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space. Parameters A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas. Message string Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.
12.1.4 Entering Commands You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key. ( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser). For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers, (for example, Crestron) some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual. 12.1.
12.2 Kramer Protocol 3000 Commands The following table lists the Protocol 3000 commands that the SID-X2N supports. For a full description of the commands, see the Kramer Protocol 3000 document available from http://www.kramerelectronics.com. Note: The SID-X2N can only receive commands from a device, (for example, an HDBT receiver) via the HDBaseT link, and only at 9600bps.
