2 KDS-EN1 - 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
Use Kramer high performance, high resolution cables
•Use only the power cord supplied with the device
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date
user manuals, application programs and to check whether firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection 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 KDS-EN1 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.

4 KDS-EN1 - Overview
3 Overview
The KDS-EN1 HD Video Encoder/Streamer is ideal as a broadcast quality video
scaler and audio embedder/de-embedder for digital signals up to 3G HD-SDI,
composite and component video signals, HDMI and balanced audio signals, which
are output as an IP stream and as a DVB-ASI signal.
All mentions of SDI in this manual include signals up to and including 3G HD-SDI.
Note: If the content is protected by HDCP, the stream is not encoded.
The KDS-EN1 features:
•A maximum data rate of 3Gpbs
•One SDI video, one HDMI, one composite and one component video input
•One balanced, stereo audio input
•One TCP/IP output
•Two ASI outputs
•The option to select either the embedded audio or to embed two
independent audio groups
•An LCD text display for easy configuration and operation
