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 VP-409 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.

VP-409 - Connecting and Operating the VP-409

4.1 Sync Enable/Disable Output Function

You can setup the unit to automatically disable its sync output signals when no

source is connected, so that the display/projector can enter “sleep” mode (that is,

turn OFF when no sync is detected).

The syncs are disabled after no video is detected for a period of about 2 minutes.

To toggle between the sync output enable/disable state while no input is

connected, do the following:

1. Press and hold the input selection button and connect the power supply

cable.

2. Hold the button until one of the input LEDs flashes for a short time (this takes

about 12 seconds).

To identify the current status of the unit, disconnect and reconnect the power cable

to start up the unit:

If both INPUT LEDs flash for a short time, the sync output signals are

disabled

If both INPUT LEDs remain ON during unit startup, the sync output signals

are enabled

4.2 OSD Information Enable/Disable Function

To toggle between enabling/disabling the OSD information:

1. Press and hold the OUTPUT RES. selection button and connect the power

supply cable.

2. Hold the button until all the resolution LEDs flash for a short time. (This takes

about 12 seconds).
