Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

The high-performance Kramer VP-111K is a line driver for signals exceeding UXGA. It accepts one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and outputs the amplified and equalized signal to a remote acceptor. It also loops the input signal to a local monitor (or some other acceptor).

The VP-111K features:

• High bandwidth (500MHz) that drives very long high-resolution lines1 ensuring transparency even at highest resolution
• A TERM switch for input signal termination
• KR-ISP™ Advanced Sync Processing that ensures compatibility with a wide range of computers (even if the sync level is too low) by restoring the sync signal waveform

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables2 to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VP-111K away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with this unit3.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

1. Up to 100 meters (300ft) when using good quality cable
2. Available from Kramer Electronics on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com

Connecting the VP-111K UXGA Line Driver

To connect the VP-111K, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the following1:

1. Connect a computer graphics source (for example, a laptop) to the INPUT 15-pin HD (F) connector.
2. Connect the OUTPUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to an acceptor (for example, a projector).
3. Connect the LOOP 15-pin HD (F) connector to an acceptor (for example, a local display).
4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the 5V DC socket and connect thetrans former to the mains electricity (not illustrated in Figure 2).
5. Set the termination switch as follows:
   • If no acceptor is attached to the LOOP connector, press the pushbutton in to the 75Ωsetting
   • If a acceptor is attached to the LOOP connector, set the pushbutton out to HI-Z setting

Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-111K. After connecting your VP-111K, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device
