Page 5: Introduction
11 groups that are clearly defined by function. Thank you for purchasing the Kramer VS-169TP 16x9 CAT 5 Matrix Switcher. This unique matrix switcher, which utilizes cheap twisted pair cabling often pre- installed in buildings these days, routes and distributes signals both from a local source and at extended ranges (via twisted pair). -

Page 8: Overview
Overview Overview The VS-169TP is a high-performance matrix switcher for video signals up to WUXGA/1080p, analog stereo / S/PDIF audio and bidirectional RS-232 signals, over twisted pair CAT 5 cable. The unit can route any input to any or all outputs simultaneously. -
Page 9: Shielded Twisted Pair (Stp) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (Utp)
BC-STP is intended for digital signals and for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. For cases where there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using those cables. -

UXGA, analog audio and RS-232 signals. Transmitting the RS-232 Signal The video and audio signals are always transmitted in one direction, when using the VS-169TP, from the source (via the input) to the acceptor (via the output). However, the RS-232 signal behaves entirely differently: •... -

IN 10, it might be rejected by the control unit since it includes a mix of reply signals, and control of the destination units becomes impossible. To avoid a mixed RS-232 reply command, the VS-169TP passes only one reply from the output back to the input. In the FOLLOW mode, the VS-169TP passes the RS-232 reply from the output which has the lowest numerical value (in this example, OUT 3). -
