Defining Edid; About The Power Connect™ Feature - Kramer VS-3232DN User Manual

•
The Kramer 2000 Protocol for serial control
•
A lock function to prevent tampering with the front panel
•
A 40 character by 2 line LCD that shows the operational status or the
configuration menu
You can operate the VS-3232DN via the front panel buttons or remotely via:
•
RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC or other
serial controller
•
Ethernet over a LAN
•
The infrared remote control transmitter
The VS-3232DN is a sophisticated device but has been designed to be as simple
as possible to operate. Due to space limitations on the front panel a keypad
substitutes for 64 individual input/output selector buttons. For details of how to
route inputs to outputs, see
mountable enclosure.

Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a
display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display's
source). The EDID enables the VS-3232DN to "know" what kind of monitor is
connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer's name, the product type,
the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for
digital displays only) the pixel mapping data. EDID is defined by a standard published
by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature means that the VS-3232DN can supply power over the
TP cable to compatible DGKat devices (for example, the TP-573 or TP-574) when the
devices are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as
long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard
TP cable. For longer distances, use heavier gauge cable (TP cable is still suitable for
the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding power at these distances).
