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 the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting
professional 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 groups1
Thank you for purchasing the Kramer VS-169TP 16x9 CAT 5 Matrix Switcher.
This unique matrix switcher, which utilizes cheap twisted pair cabling often pre-
installed in buildings these days, routes and distributes signals both from a local
source and at extended ranges (via twisted pair). It is designed especially for
installations where a high level of control possibilities from extended distances is
required. Typical uses include presentation and multimedia applications, as well
as long-range graphics distribution and control for schools, hospitals, security,
and stores.

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 VS-169TP 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 power cord that is supplied with the unit
Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical
shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only
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/.

3 Overview
The VS-169TP is a high-performance matrix switcher for video signals up to
WUXGA/1080p, analog stereo / S/PDIF audio and bidirectional RS-232
signals, over twisted pair CAT 5 cable. The unit can route any input to any or
all outputs simultaneously.
More specifically, the VS-169TP features:
•Compatibility with most Kramer twisted pair transmitters/receivers
•16 inputs for remote connection to CAT 5 transmitters and eight outputs
for remote connection to CAT 5 receivers
•Two switchable local inputs (built-in transmitters) and one local output (a
built-in receiver) allowing direct connection of the signals (UXGA, audio
and RS-232) for the units located near to the switcher
•Follow or breakaway switching for all signals (UXGA, audio, RS-232)
•48kHz/24-bit analog/digital conversion for broadcast quality stereo audio
•Baud rate of up to 19,200 for full-duplex RS-232 together with audio; one
source to multiple destination for straight RS-232 signal and priority
system or user-defined destination for reply signal
•Four-line LCD display for separate route indication of video, audio, or
RS-232
•Control via front panel pushbuttons, RS-232, RS-485, IP and IR remote
control
•15 user-programmable presets for quick-change configurations
•Kramer 2000 communication protocol
•100-240V AC worldwide power supply
•Standard 19” rack mount size – 2U

3.1 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
We recommend that you use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. There are
different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best
quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer
BC-STP is intended for digital signals and for analog signals where skewing
is not an issue. For cases where there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable,
Kramer BC-XTP, may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using
STP cables where possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic
interference was tested using those cables.
Although unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long
range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric
cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconformity to electromagnetic
standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

4.1 Using the IR Transmitter
You can use the RC-IR2IR transmitter to control the VS-169TP via the
built-in IR receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR
receiver2. The external IR receiver can be located 15 meters away from the
machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used with
three extension cables3
Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer
dealer to insert the internal IR connection cable15F
4with the 3.5mm connector
that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the external
IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.

6.1 Connecting the RS-232 Ports
The VS-169TP includes the following RS-232 ports:
•Two local RS-232 IN ports and one local RS-232 OUT port (see Section
6.1.1
•RS-232 IN and RS-232 OUT control ports (see
) to transmit RS-232 signals along with the video and audio signals
from the source to the destination units
Section 6.1.2
6.1.1 Connect the Local RS-232 Ports
) to control
the matrix itself (same functions as the RS-485 and IP interfaces)
To connect a PC or controller to the local ports, connect the 9-pin D-sub ports
of the PC or controller to the LOCAL IN RS-232 IN 1 and/or RS-232 IN 2
ports, and to the LOCAL RS-232 OUT port of the VS-169TP unit (via
RS-232 cables), as required.
6.1.2 Connect the Control RS-232 Ports
To connect a PC to the VS-169TP unit:
1. Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC to the CONTROL
RS-232 IN 9-pin D-sub rear panel port of the VS-169TP with a 9-wire
cable1
2. Make sure that DIP 7 is set to ON
.

When connecting more than one VS-169TP unit, allocate a unique Machine #
to the VS-169TP. The line termination DIP-switch is for use only with the
RS-485 port.
