Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

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

Overview

3 Overview

The VP-8K is a high-performance, HDTV compatible distribution amplifier

for computer graphics signals, with resolutions exceeding UXGA. It accepts

one computer graphics input, and outputs it to eight computer graphics

signals. In particular, the VP-8K features:

A high video bandwidth of 370MHz, ensuring that it remains transparent

even at high-resolution graphics modes such as UXGA (1600x1200)

An internal ID Bit control as well as internal KR-ISP™ technology,

which provides a sharp, stable image when the sync level is too low, by

restoring the sync signal waveform

A termination switch

A desktop-sized enclosure and it is 5V DC fed

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables 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-8K 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.

# Feature Function

1 POWER LED Lights when the unit is connected to the power

2 INPUT 15-pin HD (F) Connector Connect to the VGA/UXGA source

3 SYNC 75/ Hi-Z (TTL) Switch Set to Hi-Z (TTL

) if the source is, for example, a digital

graphics card. Set to 75if the source is analog based, for

example, an RGBHV source with coaxial cable for sync

4 OUTPUT 15-pin HD (F) Connector Connect to the VGA/UXGA acceptors (from 1 to 8)

5 5V DC +5V DC connector for powering the unit

1 “Transistor-Transistor Logic” is a term used in digital electronics describing the ability of a device or circuit to be connected

directly to the input or output of digital equipment. Such compatibility eliminates the need for interfacing circuitry

Connecting the VP-8K 1:8 VGA / UXGA Distributor

5 Connecting the VP-8K 1:8 VGA / UXGA Distributor

To connect the VP-8K, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates:

1. Connect a computer graphics source to the VGA / UXGA INPUT 15-pin HD

(F) connector.

2. Connect the VGA / UXGA OUTPUT 15-pin HD (F) connectors to up to

eight acceptors (for example, displays).

3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter

to the mains electricity (not illustrated in Figure 2).

4. Set the SYNC 75/ Hi-Z (TTL) switch to the Hi-Z (TTL) position.
