1 Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professionals on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

Our 1,000-plus different models now appear in 11 groups that are clearly defined by function: GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Switchers and Routers; GROUP 3: Control Systems; GROUP 4: Format/Standards Converters; GROUP 5: Range Extenders and Repeaters; GROUP 6: Specialty AV Products; GROUP 7: Scan Converters and Scalers; GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors; GROUP 9: Room Connectivity; GROUP 10: Accessories and Rack Adapters and GROUP 11: Sierra Products.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer DS Vision® 3000, which is ideal for the following typical applications:

• Digital signage
  • Media distribution

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment
• Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
• Position your Kramer DS Vision® 3000 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
• For best performance the spec of the cable should be:
  ■ Gauge: 24AWG (should be written on the cable)
  ■ Wire: solid wire (should be written on the cable)
• For cable runs over 100m (330ft) the SKEW delay of the cable should be no more than 20ns per 100m (330ft) (should be written in the spec of the cable)

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer's recycling arrangements in your particular country go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

Figure 8: Connection Diagram

4.1 Broadcaster/Transmitter Connections

1. Connect the broadcaster/transmitter Video In port to the computer's video card with a video cable.
2. Connect the broadcaster/transmitter Serial In port to the computer's serial port with a serial extender cable.
3. Connect the broadcaster/transmitter Audio In port to the computer's line out port with a stereo audio cable.
4. To use the Video Service Utility, connect the broadcaster/transmitter control port and the computer's serial port with a serial download cable.
5. (Optional) Connect a monitor to the broadcaster/transmitter Video Out port.

4.2 Receiver/Receiver L Connections

1. Connect the screen to the video port.
2. Connect the audio/speakers to the audio port.
   Note: if you are connecting the audio out of the receivers to speakers they must have an internal amplifier. The audio out is a line out extension of the player.
3. Where relevant connect the serial connection to the serial port.

4.3 Receiver DCL Connections

1. Connect one screen to video port 1 and another screen to video port 2.
2. Connect the audio/speakers of the first screen to stereo audio port 1 and connect the audio/speakers of the second screen to stereo audio port 2. Ensure that the video and audio ports are connected to the same numbers, i.e. one screen to video and audio ports 1 and the other screen to video and audio ports 2.
3. Where relevant connect the serial connection to the serial ports 1 and/or 2.

4.4 Connecting CATx Cables

Connect the CATx cables as follows.

4.4.1 Connecting the Broadcaster/Transmitter

- Connect CATx cables to the system ports of the broadcaster/transmitter and the system In ports of receivers/L/DCL or line splitter L.

4.4.2 Connecting/Cascading a Line Splitter Long

- Connect CATx cables to the system out ports of the line splitter long and the system in ports of receivers/L/DCL or further line splitters Long.

4.4.3 Cascading a Receiver DCL

- Connect a CATx cable to the system out port of the receiver DCL and the system in port of a receiver/L/DCL or line splitter long.

4.5 Connecting to the Power Supply

- Connect the transmitter/broadcaster and all receiver and line splitter long units to the power supply using the AC/DC adapters provided with the products.

Once the system is connected the DS Vision® 3000 system broadcasts to all remote monitors/speakers.

4.6 Adjusting the Picture Quality

When the broadcasted picture needs adjusting:

- The receiver (version 3)/ receiver L/ receiver DCL/ line splitter long can be tuned either via the service utility, or by using the optional tuning unit

Note: Where there are cascaded receivers/ receiver DCL/line splitters long you must tune them from the unit nearest the broadcaster/transmitter onwards.

4.7 Note on Serial Extension:

The serial connection requires two cables: from player to a transmitter or broadcaster, use a straight serial cable; from receiver to screen, use a cross cable.
