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/support/product_downloads.asp

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 PT-201VGA 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.

PT-201VGA - Overview

3 Overview

The high quality PT-201VGA 2x1 VGA Switcher is amicro-sized mechanical

switcher designed for VGA/XGA/UXGA signals using high-density 15 pin HD

connectors. The PT-201VGA:

Accepts 2 inputs and lets you select either input using a switch located on

the front panel

With its passive design, eliminates the need for a power supply, and makes

it possible to operate “backwards” (as a 1x2 switcher), by taking a single

input and toggling between two displays

Has high-quality switching components and careful circuit design, ensuring

high bandwidth exceeding 1200MHz and minimal crosstalk

4 Connecting the PT-201VGA

Since the unit is passive, you can connect your PT-201VGA as a 2x1 VGA

switcher (see Section 4.1) or as a 1x2 VGA switcher (see Section 4.2).

4.1 Connecting the PT-201VGA as a 2x1 VGA Switcher

To use your PT-201VGA as a 2x1 VGA switcher, connect the 2 VGA INPUTS, as

the example in Figure 2 illustrates:

1. Connect up to 2 VGA sources to the INPUT 15-pin HD connectors, as

follows:

A VGA source (for example, PC graphics 1) to INPUT 1

A VGA source (for example, PC graphics 2) to INPUT 2

2. Connect the 15-pin HD OUTPUT connector to the VGA acceptor (for

example, a display).

3. Push in the SELECT switch to route input 1, or release it to route input 2.

4.2 Connecting the PT-201VGA as a 1x2 VGA Switcher

To use your PT-201VGA as a 1x2 VGA switcher, as the example in Figure 3

illustrates, connect as follows:

1. Connect the VGA source (for example, PC graphics) to the 15-pin HD

OUTPUT connector.

2. Connect the INPUT 15-pin HD connectors to up to 2 VGA acceptors, as

follows:

INPUT 1 to a VGA acceptor (for example, display 1)

INPUT 2 to a VGA acceptor (for example, display 2)

3. Push in the SELECT switch to route the source signal to display 1 (at input

1), or release it to route the source signal to display 2 (at input 2).
