Step 3: Mount VS-211UHD
Install VS-211UHD 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
(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-211UHD).
•Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter (see www.kramerav.com/product/VS-211UHD).
•Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is compatible for the device.
•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
•Maximum mounting height for the device is 2 meters.
Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-211UHD.
To achieve specified extension distances, use the recommended Kramer cables available at www.kramerav.com/product/VS-211UHD.
Using third-party cables may cause damage!

Step 5: Connect power
Connect the power cord to VS-211UHD and plug it into the mains electricity.
Safety Instructions (See www.kramerav.com for updated safety information)
Caution:
•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.
•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
•Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
Step 6: Set DIP-switches
Set the DIP-switches as shown in the following table:
DIP
Function
Off (Up)
On (Down)
1
Audio EDID
Pass audio EDID of sink
Limit to 2-CH LPCM
2
Color EDID
Pass deep color parameter of sink
Limit to RGB 8bpp
3
Lock EDID
Pass EDID of sink
Lock current display EDID and the current settings of
DIPs 1 and 2 (The settings of DIPs 1 and 2 cannot be
changed when DIP 3 is locked)
This state also allows copying the default EDID or an
EDID file to the inputs when using EDID Designer. (If
using EDID Designer, refresh after copying)
4
HDCP
Enable HDCP support
When On, if the output supports HDCP,
the input declares HDCP support. It
then handles HDCP on the output and
input actively. If the output does not
support HDCP then the input does not
support HDCP.
Disable HDCP support
When Off, the device does not support HDCP on its
input, even if HDCP is detected on the output.

Step 7: Operate VS-211UHD
Manual Switch Mode
In Manual switch mode, the VS-211UHD does not automatically switch to another channel even if an input signal is not
detected on the manual input.
To select Manual switch mode:
Press the AUTO button to turn the Auto LED off.
To select an input in Manual switch mode:
Press the IN1 or IN2 button to route this input to the HDMI output. The keys respond as follows:
Input LED bright: input selected
Input LED dim: input active and not selected
Input LED off: input is not active and not selected
Auto Switch Mode
In Auto switch mode, the VS-211UHD automatically switches one of two HDMI inputs to a predefined or the last connected
input whenever the currently active video signal is interrupted or whenever a higher-priority video signal is detected.
To select Auto switch mode:
1. Press the AUTO/MANUAL button to turn the Auto LED on.
2. Press the LAST/PRIORITY button to select an auto switch mode:
Last connected (LAST LED on) –The device always switches to a newly detected active video source. When the
device is powered on, the output switches to the highest priority input
Priority (LAST LED off) –The device always switches to the highest priority input source. The default priority is Input 1
then Input 2.
Manual Override Mode
Auto switch mode can be overridden by a manual command, such as pressing an input button or sending a control command.
In such a case, the system switches to the manually selected source. If this manually selected source is not active, the system
waits a set amount of time (10 seconds, default) and then switches back to auto mode. Manual override selection is not stored
in non-volatile memory.
