Step 3: Install the VS-1616DN-MD
To rack mount the machine, the VS-1616DN-MD is pre-assembled with ear brackets attached to the
machine.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-1616DN-MD. For best results, we recommend that you
always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VS-1616DN-MD.
Note: the maximum number of ports may vary.
Port Numbering:
On all cards apart from the DVI dual link cards, there are two physical ports on each card and numbering of ports is sequential from top to
bottom and left to right. Each DVI dual link card provides one physical port which causes the loss of one number in the numbering
sequence of that card only:

Step 5: Connect the power
Connect the two AC power cables to the rear of the VS-1616DN-MD, turn on both power switches and then switch on the power of
connected devices.

Step 6: Set operation parameters
The VS-1616DN-MD does not have separate output and input
buttons. Instead, the front panel includes a numeric keypad.
When the unit is powered-on, the last matrix setup that was
used is loaded. Use either the setup recall (records a stored
configuration from a preset) or default setup recall (for quick
retrieval of a commonly used programmable default setup)
functions to retrieve other setups.
The LCD display can showonly 13 out of the 16 available matrix
combinations at once. To view any of the matrix combinations
use the ◄ or the ► buttons on the front panel to shift the sliding
windowto the right or left.
After switching on the power, the LCD displayshows the following
screens in sequence:
