About Power Connect™
The Power Connect™ feature here means that the
VS-6464DN-EM
can supply power to the
TP transmitters and receivers (for example, the
TP-573
and
TP-574
) as long as 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 CAT 5 cable. For
longer distances, a heavier gauge cable should be used (a TP cable is still suitable for the
video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).
Overview
The Kramer
VS-6464DN-EM
is a high performance managed matrix switcher chassis for AV
signals. The unit is modular and populated from 8 x 8 to 64 x 64 ports in increments of eight
inputs and/or eight outputs. The unit supports various signals, depending on the type of cards
installed, and includes two (optional three) redundant power supplies and a controller and
testing module that can monitor and test any input or output in the matrix. It features a very
high bandwidth of up to 3.4Gbps (for the chassis only, effective bandwidth of the system
depends on the input / output cards, see
Using the Input / Output Cards
) that
ensures transparent performance even in the most critical applications. The cards re-clock
and equalize the signals and the chassis can route any or all inputs to any or all outputs
simultaneously.
The
VS-6464DN-EM
is highly configurable
– you can add or remove inputs and outputs
independently in groups of eight and mix different types of input/output cards in the same
chassis. For example, you can configure a device as an 8 x 24 or a 64 x 8 matrix switcher to
exactly suit your needs.
The
VS-6464DN-EM
features:
•
Full 64 x 64 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 64 input digital signals to any
).
•
Easy access to 60 pre-set memory locations for quick access to user-defined setups.
•
Fast switching on outputs to reduce or remove switching delay.
•
Support for redundant, hot swappable power supplies.
•
Simple firmware upgrade of compatible cards (see
Upgrading VS-6464DN-EM and Input
).
•
Seamless integration with Kramer Network for switching, card status, port status,
firmware upgrades (of compatible cards), and more.
•
A 40 character by 2 line LCD that shows the operational status or the configuration
menu.
•
A lock function to prevent tampering with the front panel.
•
A default EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) for each input.
•
EDID Capture
– Copies and stores the EDID from a display device.
•
Non-volatile EDID storage.
