    Depending on the display device in use, the VS-1616D allows for fast switching (minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and the connection kept alive), see Section 7.2.4. Using the fast and extra fast switching modes allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using high performance display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.

  • Page 13: Overview

    Overview The Kramer VS-1616D is a high performance matrix switcher chassis for AV signals. The unit is modular and populated from 2 x 2 to 16 x 16 ports in increments of two inputs and/or two outputs. The unit supports various signals, depending on the type of cards installed and includes a power supply, control module and a test module that can monitor and test any input and output in the matrix.

  • Page 21: Port Numbering

    Figure 4: Connecting the VS-1616D Port Numbering On all cards apart from the DVI dual link cards, there are two physical ports on each card and numbering of ports is sequential from top to bottom and left to right. Each DVI dual link card provides one physical port which causes the loss of one number in the numbering sequence of that card only.

  • Page 22: Figure 5: Sample Port Numbering

    None (error message displayed) AV data flow is: source > VS-1616D > display. EDID information flow is: display > VS-1616D > source, which means that the EDID input is the display side and the EDID output is the AV source side.

    The VS-1616D 2x2 to 16x16 Modular Multi-Format Digital Matrix Switcher can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the VS-1616D. For example, a basic video input switching command that routes a layer 1 video signal to HDBT out 1 from HDMI input 2 (ROUTE 1,1,2), is entered as follows: •...

  • Page 133: Understanding Protocol 3000 Commands

    You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the VS-1616D. To enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
