VP-81SIDN - Overview

 

 

3.1 

About the Power Connect™ Feature 

The Power Connect™ feature here means that digital 

Step-In Commanders

 (for 

example, the 

SID-DP

 and 

SID-DVI

) do not require an independent power supply if 

the distance between the 

VP-81SIDN

 and the 

Step-In Commander

 does not 

exceed 50m (164ft)

. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable 

can carry power and the distance does not exceed 50m on standard TP cable. 

(Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the 

Power Connect™ range). 

Note

: Analog 

Step-In Commanders

 (for example, the 

SID-VGA

 and 

SID-X1

) do 

require independent power supplies. 

3.2 

Using Twisted Pair cables 

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our 

digital twisted pair products; the Kramer 

BC-DGKat524

 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the 

Kramer 

BC-DGKat623

 (CAT 6 23 AWG), and the Kramer 

BC-DGKat7a23

 (CAT 

7a 23 AWG) cables. These specially built cables significantly outperform regular 

CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.  

Note

: The 

VP-81SIDN

 cannot work with unshielded cables. 

3.3 

Using the IR Transmitter for the VP-81SIDN 

You can use the 

RC-IR3

 IR transmitter to operate the 

VP-81SIDN

 via the built in 

IR receiver on the front panel, or instead, via an optional external IR receiver. The 

external IR receiver can be located 15m (49ft) away from the device. This distance 

can be extended to up to 60m (197ft) when used with three extension cables. 

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer dealer to 

insert the internal IR connection cable with the 3.5mm mini jack that fits into the 

REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the external IR receiver to the 

REMOTE IR 3.5mm mini jack.
