Step 3: Install the VM-3DT
Install VM-3DT using one of the following methods:
•Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
•Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface.
For more information go to
www.kramerav.com/downloads/VM-3DT.
•Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/VM-3DT).
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VM-3DT. For best results, we recommend
that you always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VM-3DT.
HDBT RJ-45 Pinout:
Use a straight pin-to-pin cable with
RJ-45 connectors.
We recommend that for HDBT cables, the
ground shielding be connected/soldered to
the connector shield.
DIP-Switch Setup:
To enable/disable IR and RS-232 routing, set the DIP-switches as follows:
Note: DIP-switches 4 and
8 are reserved for future
use. By default, all DIP-
switches are set to OFF
(up).

VM-3DT supports EDID Designer (via the mini USB port) that can be loaded from our Web site: Kramer EDID
Designer.
To use the mini USB port, you need to download and the Kramer USB driver from our Web site at:
www.kramerav.com/support/product_downloads.asp and install it.
Acquiring the EDID via front panel
Press the EDID SETUP once to display the current EDID source: OUT 1, OUT 2, OUT 3, or all OUT LEDs flash (default
EDID).
To acquire an EDID:
1. Press EDID SETUP.the current EDID source is displayed.
2. Press EDID SETUP (a second time) to enter EDID select mode.
3. Press EDID SETUP repeatedly to cycle through the EDID source options.
The OUT LEDs flash in the following order:
OUT 1 -> OUT 2 -> OUT 3 -> all output LEDs flash (default EDID).
Stop pressing EDID SETUP once the required EDID source is reached.
4. Wait a few seconds, until VM-3DT acquires the EDID.
When complete, all output LEDS return to normal operation, displaying the present output connection status.
If an unconnected output is chosen or the connected EDID cannot be read, the VM-3DT loads the default EDID.
Forcing the RGB Mode
Normally (the default state), when acquiring the EDID, the device supports any color space that is defined in the acquired
EDID parameters. In case of a color space problem, using the Force RGB mode may improve the colors of the image on the
display.
To:
Do the following:
Force the acquired EDID to
support only RGB color space:
Press and hold the EDID button for few seconds until all the output LEDs
flash together four times.
Continue to acquire the desired EDID.
This acquired EDID is then forced to support the RGB color space only.
Return to the normal EDID mode:
Press and hold the EDID button for few seconds until the output LEDs
flash together once.
Continue to acquire the desired EDID.
View the current EDID mode:
Power cycle the unit.
All output LEDs will flash together once when in normal EDID mode, and
four times when in Force RGB mode.
