2 PT-2C - Getting Started
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 www.kramerav.com/downloads/PT-2C 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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
•Position your PT-2C away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
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 power supply 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 www.kramerav.com/support/recycling/.

4 PT-2C - Overview
3 Overview
The PT-2C is an EDID processor for HDMI signals. It allows you to pass or block
HDCP, deep audio or deep color signals that may or may not be compatible with
the display.
The PT-2C features:
•A maximum data rate of 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per data channel)
•4K resolution support
•Compliance with HDMI and HDCP standards
•CEC and ARC support
•HDMI input and output connectors
•Signal reclocking
•Active video signal source detection
•LED indication for input, output and power as well as successful EDID capture
•Configurable timeout for when the input signal is lost
•Restore DDC clock rate on display side
•Program DIP-switches that control the desired functions
•Mini USB for EDID Designer and FW update support
•+5V DC Power supply
•The ultra-compact PicoTools case that allows four units to be mounted side-by-
side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-4PT 19” rack adapter

5 Connecting the PT-2C
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to
your PT-2C. After connecting your PT-2C, connect its power and
then switch on the power to each device.
Figure 2: Connecting the PT-2C Extended EDID Processor
To connect the PT-2C, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:
1. Connect the HDMI source (for example, a PC) to the HDMI IN connector.
2. Connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a
display).
3. Connect the USB port to a laptop running EDID Designer to modify the
EDID, or to a PC to upgrade the firmware of the PT-2C.

5.1 Configuring the PT-2C
The 8-way Program DIP-switch on the rear panel is used to configure the PT-2C
according to the following table.
Note that all the DIP-switches are set to off (up) by default.
DIP
Feature
Function
1 Lock the EDID On (down) — EDID pass-through mode
Off (up) — EDID Locked
When EDID is locked, the audio parameters are
set as defined by DIP-switch 3. In pass-through
mode, the DIP-switch 3 setup is ignored
The Audio DIP-switch (3) setup is implemented only upon setting DIP-
switch 1 to off (up), locking the EDID
2
Deep color
On—Passes the deep color parameters (down)
Off—Limits deep color to 8 bits per color (up)
3
Audio setup
On—Passes the audio parameters (down)
Off—Limits the audio to 2-channel LPCM (up)
This setup is enabled only after DIP-switch 1 is set
to Off (EDID locked).
4
HDCP operation
On—Passes HDCP (down)
Off—HDCP off (up)
When On, if the output supports HDCP, the input
declares HDCP support. It will then handle HDCP
on the output and input actively. If the output does
not support HDCP then the input will not support
HDCP.
When Off, the device does not support HDCP on
its input, even if HDCP is detected on the output.
5
Color space
On—Passes color space (down)
Off—Forces RGB color space (up)

The PT-2C can power off the HDMI 5V output to let the connected device enter the
sleep mode if there is no source connected. The power off delay time is controlled by
DIP-switches 6 and 7 (0 = up/Off; 1 = down/On)
8
Reserved (always set to off)

5.2 EDID loading/storing
The EDID DIP-switch 1 determines the behavior of EDID on the device.
5.2.1 The Pass-through Mode
In the pass-through mode (DIP-switch 1 set to on), the EDID of the connected
output (a display in the following examples) is automatically loaded to the PT-2C.
If the display is replaced, the PT-2C captures the new EDID from the new display.
Any change in the output automatically changes the EDID that is stored in the
PT-2C.
When disconnecting the output the last EDID remains stored in the PT-2C.
5.2.2 The EDID Lock Mode
When in the Lock mode (DIP-switch 1 set to off), the current EDID is locked and
remains unchanged even if the display is replaced on the output.
When in the lock mode the audio setup is determined by the DIP-switch 3 Audio
setup.
You can connect a PC to the EDID DESIGNER/F/W UPDATE Mini USB port to
modify the EDID via the Kramer EDID designer software.
Note that when using EDID designer to modify the EDID (in the Lock
mode), the DIP-switch 3 status is ignored.
5.2.3 Setting the default EDID
You can set the PT-2C to its EDID default value.
To set the default EDID:
1. Make sure the PT-2C is set to the Pass-through mode
2. Disconnect the output.
3. Set DIP-switch 1 to the Lock mode (off).
The default EDID is loaded
