Overview

3 Overview

The high performance VP-210

is a line amplifier for XGA

computer

graphics signals that provides controls to compensate for signal losses

inherent in long cable runs.

In particular, the VP-210

XGA Line Amplifier:

Features a video bandwidth of 380MHz, ensuring that it remains

transparent for all resolutions

Is HDTV compatible

Includes separate controls for output level and cable equalization, ID Bit

control, and independent input signal termination for red, green and blue

Has a looping input

Achieving the best performance means:

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and

positioning your VP-210

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 unit

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an HD15 connector

having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA

2 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251

5 Connecting the VP-210

XGA Line Amplifier

To connect your VP-210

XGA Line Amplifier, as the example in Figure 3

illustrates, do the following

1. Connect a computer graphics source (for example, a computer) to the

INPUT HD15F connector.

2. Connect the OUTPUT HD15F connector to an acceptor (for example, a

projector).

3. Connect the LOOP HD15F connector to an acceptor (for example, a local

display).

4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the 12V DC socket and connect

the transformer to the mains electricity (not illustrated in Figure 3).

5. If required, adjust the video output signal level and/or cable compensation

equalization level, and/or set the:

Red, green and blue signal termination switches on the underside

ID Bit switch to ON

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-210

. After powering up your VP-210
