2 DS Vision® 3000 - Getting Started

2 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 high-

performance, 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 DS Vision® 3000 away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust

•For best performance the spec of the cable should be:

Gauge: 24AWG (should be written on the cable)

Wire: solid wire (should be written on the cable)

•For cable runs over 100m (330ft) the SKEW delay of the cable should be no

more than 20ns per 100m (330ft) (should be written in the spec of the cable)

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
