Step-in commander 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 (34 pages)
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. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our...
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils • Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality • Position your Kramer SID-X1 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust SID-X1 - Getting Started...
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.
Can be installed up to 50m (164ft) from the switcher • Features automatic live input detection when connected to a single input • Lockable EDID You can control the SID-X1 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via contact closure switches. SID-X1 - Overview...

Connecting the SID-X1 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 1.
LEDs (see Section 5.3). 7. Connect the power adapter to the SID-X1 and to the mains power. Note: All LED supplies include a current limiting resistor and are designed to work with any standard LED. Connecting the Remote Step-In Switch and LED...
You can connect a remote, contact closure, input selection switch to activate an input (momentary contact is sufficient to switch inputs), as well as an indicator LED to the terminal block on the rear panel of the SID-X1. Figure 5 illustrates the connections from the terminal block to the switch and LED.
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.
Source Locking the EDID To prevent the stored EDID (either default or read from a device) from being overwritten, set DIP-switch 4 to ON. Note: The device must be power-cycled after you change DIP-switch 4. SID-X1 - Connecting the SID-X1...
Taking Control of the Switcher Input To activate the input of the switcher to which the SID-X1 is connected, press the STEP-IN button. If the switcher grants the SID-X1 access to the input, the STEP- IN button lights. If the switcher does not grant access for some reason, the button flashes for a few seconds and then does not light.
