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.
