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.kramerelectronics.com 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 highperformance, 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 Kramer products 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 Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with the unit
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/.

Overview

The Kramer TOOLS VP-200K, VP-300K and VP-400K are 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 (respectively) distribution amplifiers for UXGA and higher resolution signals.
The VP-200K, VP-300K and VP-400K accept one input, provide correct buffering and isolation, and then distribute the signal to two, three or four (respectively) identical outputs on high-density 15-pin HD connectors.
In particular, the high-resolution UXGA DAs feature:

• High video bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensuring transparency even at high-resolution graphics modes such as UXGA (1600×1200)
• DDC (Display Data Channel) communication support between the input and output 1 high-density 15-pin HD connectors on pins 11, 12 and 15
• EDID PassThru that passes EDID signals from source to display
• Kramer’s innovative integrated sync processing; KR-ISP™ technology, which lets you achieve a sharp, stable image when the sync level is too low, by restoring the sync signal waveform
• An ID Bit control switch as well as polarity switches
• 5V DC operation and a DigiTOOLS® enclosure

   ♦ Connect the OUTPUT 1 connector to acceptor 1 (for example, a projector)
   ♦ Connect the OUTPUT 2 connector to acceptor 2 (for example, an LCD monitor)
   ♦ Connect the OUTPUT 3 connector to acceptor 3 (for example, a display)

3.  Connect the 5V DC power adapter (wall transformer) to the 5V DC socket  and connect the transformer to the mains electricity.

4.  If required, set the:
   ♦ Hs and Vs switches
   ♦ ID Bit switch to ON
