Signal Routing Example 

The example in 

Figure 5

 shows the 

VM-2DT 

connected to two 

TP-580R

 devices. The table

RS-232 and IR signals are transparently routed between the 

VM-2DT

 source and two 

acceptors. Since RS-232 is designed for point-to-point communication, make sure that only 
one RS-232 signal is sent to a destination. However, although only one device may send 
RS-232 signals down a line, sending RS-232 signals to multiple devices is permissible. 

You can send RS-232 signals to an AV device via the transmitter or receivers that are 
connected to the 

VM-2DT

. If you have set the DIP-switches to traverse to both outputs, any 

command sent to a destination on one of the outputs will also pass to the other output 
destination, so you need to be sure that it will not have any unwanted effect on the other 
destination.  

In general, we recommend that you set the DIP-switches to traverse to both outputs only 
when both destination devices are identical (same vendor and same product model) and 
avoid sending of concurrent responses. 

Routing the IR signal  

In the example in 

Figure 5

an IR emitter cable is connected from 

TP-580T

 to the Blu-ray 

player and an IR sensor cable is connected to the 

TP-580R

 (2) receiver for receiving IR 

remote signals. This setup lets you remotely control the Blu-ray player via the 

TP-580R

 (2) 

receiver device, using the Blu-ray player IR remote control transmitter. 

 

To route the IR signal you have to use the Kramer external IR Receiver cable on one end  
and the Kramer IR emitter cable on the other end. Note that IR Emitter Extension Cables are 
also available, if required. For further details, go to our website at 

www.kramerav.com/product/VM-2DT

. 

Routing the RS-232 Signal  

An RS-232 controller can be used to control the AV devices via the 

TP-580T

 RS-232 port by 

sending RS-232 commands over HDBaseT lines to the remote connected AV devices. 

In the example in 

Figure 5

, the Kramer 

RC-43SL

 control keypad is used to control AV devices 

that are connected to both 

TP-580R 

(1) and

 

TP-580R 

(2). 

RC-43SL

 is connected to the 

TP-580T

 RS-232 port. The RS-232 ports on 

TP-580R 

(1) and

 

TP-580R 

(2) are connected to a 

projector and display, respectively. This type of setup enables you to control the projector and 
display via the 

RC-43SL

When 

RC-43SL

 sends a command to the projector on 

TP-580R 

(1), it bears no effect on the 

display that is connected to 

TP-580R 

(2). If 

TP-580R 

(1) and

 

TP-580R 

(2) were connected 

each to identical projectors, both would respond to the sent RS-232 command.
