The Kramer SID-DVI DVI Step-In Commander
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer DigiTOOLS ® SID-DVI DVI Step-In
Commander which is ideal for boardrooms and presentation rooms.
The Kramer SID-DVI is a DVI and unbalanced stereo audio remote control commander
that is used to remotely take control of a compatible switcher, for example, the
VP-81SID. The commander is HDCP compliant and does not need a power adapter if
located within 50m (164ft) of the switcher.
Figure 1 and Table 1 define the SID-DVI DVI Step-In Commander.
