Overview

3 Overview

The VP-300THD is a high-performance distribution amplifier for computer

graphics video signals1 with resolutions ranging from VGA through UXGA

and higher as well as HDTV. It takes one input, provides correct buffering

and isolation, and distributes the signal to two computer graphics video or

HDTV outputs and one twisted pair output.

The VP-300THD features:

•HDTV compatibility

•H & V sync polarity switches for improved HDTV compatibility with

the CAT 5 outputs

•ID bit control

•A resolution of up to WUXGA and 1080p

•A transmission range of more than 300 feet (more than 100 meters)

•The Power Connect feature (see section 3.1)

•12V DC power

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables2 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-300THD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Overview

3.1 About the Power Connect Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power.

This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not

exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge

cable should be used1. For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors,

make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing

of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected

via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be

connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground

terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).

For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies

should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.

3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. There are

different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best

quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer

BC-STP is intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. For

cases where there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP,

may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where

possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested

using those cables.

Although Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long

range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric

cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.

However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconformity to

electromagnetic standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard

with UTP cable.

1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

slide the switch to the left2(to NORMAL) to retain the polarity

3 ID BIT Switch Slide to the right to set to ON3; to the left to set to OFF

5 Connecting the VP-300THD

You can use the VP-300THD and, for example, the TP-120 to configure an

XGA/HD DA/CAT 5 Transmitter and Receiver system.

To connect the VP-300THD with the TP-120, as the example in Figure 3

illustrates, do the following:

1. On the VP-300THD 1:2 XGA/HD DA/CAT 5 Transmitter, connect the:

Computer graphics (XGA / HD) source (for example, a computer)

to the INPUT 15-pin HD connector

OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 15-pin HD connectors to up to4 two

acceptors (for example, to a display and to a projector,

respectively)

1 Downgoing syncs

2 By default, both switches are set to the left

3 The default. Enabling the notebook or laptop to output a VGA signal to an external VGA monitor

4 When both outputs are not required, connect only the output that is required and leave the other output unconnected

Connecting the VP-300THD

2. On the TP-120 XGA Line Receiver, connect the XGA OUT 15-pin HD

connector to the XGA / HD acceptor (for example, a display).

3. Connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector on the VP-300THD to the LINE

IN RJ-45 connector on the TP-120, via UTP cabling (with a range of more

than 300ft (more than 100 meters)), see section 3.2.

4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket on the

VP-300THD, and plug the adapter into the mains electricity socket.

Similarly, connect the other 12V DC power adapter to the power socket on

the TP-120,and plug that adapter into the mains electricity socket.

5. On the VP-300THD, if required:

Set the ID BIT switch to ON

Set the VS and HS switches1 on the underside

6. On the TP-120, if required:

Adjust2 the video output signal level and/or cable compensation

equalization level

Set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches3, on the underside

Figure 3: Connecting the VP-300THD

1 By default, both switches are set to the left (to NORMAL) to retain the VS and HS polarity

2 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level

3 By default, both switches are set down (for normal V SYNC and H SYNC polarity)
