by function: GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Switchers and Routers;

GROUP 3: Control Systems; GROUP 4: Format/Standards Converters; GROUP 5:

Range Extenders and Repeaters; GROUP 6: Specialty AV Products; GROUP 7:

Scan Converters and Scalers; GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors; GROUP 9:

Room Connectivity; GROUP 10: Accessories and Rack Adapters; GROUP 11:

Sierra Video Products; GROUP 12: Digital Signage; GROUP 13: Audio; and

GROUP 14: Collaboration.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer DIP-20 Automatic Video Switcher

which are part of the Kramer Audio Distribution System and are ideal for:

Display systems requiring simple, automatic input selection

Multimedia and presentation source selection

Video distribution in hotel rooms and schools

DIP-20 - 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 http://www.kramerav.com/downloads/DIP-20 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 neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your DIP-20 Automatic Video Switcher 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

DIP-20 – Getting Started

2.3 Shielded Twisted Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our

digital twisted pair products; the Kramer BC-HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG) HDBaseT

certified, and the Kramer BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG) cables. These

specially built cables significantly outperform regular CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables.

2.4 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/.

DIP-20 - Overview

3 Overview

The DIP-20 accepts an HDMI and PC graphics video input, an Ethernet signal,

serial data, and an unbalanced stereo audio input (which is embedded into the

output signal), and transmits the signal via HDBaseT (Twisted Pair) cable to a

compatible receiver (for example, the TP-588D or the TP-580RXR). The

DIP-20 is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) provider and can power compatible PoE

acceptors, (for example, the TP-588D and the TP-590RXR).

The DIP-20 provides a range of up to 130m (427ft) in normal mode for

1080p@60Hz @36bpp, and 100m (328ft) for 4K @30Hz. When using an extended

range receiver and BC−HDKat6a cables, the range is up to 180m (590ft) for

1080p@60Hz @24bpp. To use the DIP-20 in extended range mode you must edit

the EDID.

For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's BC−HDKat6a and

BC−DGKat7a23 shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. Note that the

transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and

display used. The distance using non-Kramer CAT 6 and CAT 7 cables

may not reach these ranges.

The DIP-20 Automatic Video Switcher features:

Support for 4K UHD (data rate of up to 10.2Gbps)

Automatic live input detection based on video clock presence

Automatic input selection based on priority selection or last connected input

Manual input selection

Automatic analog audio detection and embedding

Power over Ethernet which passes electrical power along with data over

Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection

and electrical power to compatible devices

Control via Kramer Protocol 3000 and embedded Web pages over a LAN

HDTV support

HDMI with Deep Color, x.v.Color™ and 3D

HDCP compliancy—works with sources that support HDCP repeater mode

DIP-20 – Overview

I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – Intelligent EDID

handling & processing algorithm ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI

systems

A lockable EDID

Step-in control when connected to a device that provides step-in support

Remote control via contact-closure switches

Equalization and re-clocking of the data

Support for digital audio formats

3.1 About HDBaseT™ Technology

HDBaseT™ is an advanced, all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the

HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV –and also the home –

environment as a digital networking alternative, where it enables you to replace

numerous cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for

example, uncompressed, full high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various

control signals.

The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.
