2 Product outline
The VAC-5000HD is an HDMI distribution amplifier for distributing digital video and audio signa ls to 5 outputs.
Since signals can be distributed to multiple devices that hav e the HDMI input connector, the VAC can be used
for multiple systems of HD images, production lines, and others. An L/R stereo audio output is provided, and
only the embedded digital audio input is converted into an analog stereo signal for the stereo analog audio
outputs. The HDMI input has an automatic compen sation circuit while the HDMI output has a manual one,
and they are able to minimize signal degradation caused by cable extension.

The anti-snow feature automatically fixes snow noise that is a specific symptom of HD CP -compliant
signals and mainly occurs at start-up. This feature does not work when snow noise has already occurred
during startup or when it occurs due to a bad condition of the transm ission line.
3
*
For digital systems, some problems, such as an HD CP authentication error, can often be recovered by
physically disconnecting and reconnecti ng the digit al cables. However, the Connection Reset f eature will fix
these problems automatically without the need to physically remove and insert the cables. It creates the
same condition as if the cable were physically disconnected and reconnected. This feature only works for
the VAC’s output. If other devices are connected between the VAC’s output and display devi ce, this feat ure
may be invalid.

5.2 Precautions before connection
Follow the precautions below before connecting t o external devices.
■ Installation
● Do not block vent holes. Keep enough space (3 cm/1.18 inc hes or more) around the product.
● Do not install the VAC in a closed space.
If you have to install the product to an EIA rack mount in closed space, add a ventilation to keep the
ambient temperature of 40 degrees C/104 degr ees F or less. I f i nadequat ely v ented, the l ife of parts
may be shortened and operations may be af f ect ed.
■ Cabling
● Read the manuals of external devices carefully.
● Turn off the transmitter/receiver before connection.
● Insert the cable into the connector firmly and do not give the connector stress.
● Secure the HDMI cable using a cable clamp to prevent it from falling out of the device.
[Fig. 5.4] Attaching cable clamp
HDMI cables and connectors do not have a lock me chanism. Use t he supplied ca ble clamp to apply the HDMI
cable to the VAC.
