Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer TOOLS VP-200NK, VP-300NK and VP-400NK are 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 (respectively) distribution amplifiers for XGA and higher resolution signals with a unique new feature. They include the Kramer innovative integrated sync processing; KR - ISP™ technology, which lets you achieve a sharp, stable image when the sync level is too low, by restoring the sync signal waveform.

The VP-200NK,

VP-300NK and VP-400NK accept one input, provide correct

buffering and isolation, and then distribute the signal to two, three or four (respectively) identical outputs on high-density 15 pin HD connectors.

In particular, the High Resolution XGA DA:

 Has a high video bandwidth exceeding 430MHz, ensuring that it remains

transparent even at high-resolution graphics modes such as UXGA (1600x1200)

 Includes ID Bit control  Is 12VDC fed

Achieving the best performance means:

 Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

 Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and

positioning your VP-200NK,

VP-300NK and VP-400NK away from

moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

5 Connecting the VP-300NK 1:3 High Resolution XGA DA

To connect your VP-300NK 1:3 High Resolution XGA DA1, as the example in Figure 11 illustrates, do the following2:

1. Connect a computer graphics source to the INPUT HD15F connector.

2. Connect the OUTPUT HD15F connectors to up to three3 acceptors, as follows:

 Connect the OUTPUT 1 connector to acceptor 1 (for example, a

projector)

 Connect the OUTPUT 2 connector to acceptor 2 (for example, an

LCD monitor)

 Connect the OUTPUT 3 connector to acceptor 3 (for example, a

display)

3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter (wall transformer) to the 12V DC socket and connect the transformer to the mains electricity.

4. If required, set the:

 Hs and Vs switches  ID Bit switch to ON

1 From this section on, all the information is relevant to the VP-200NK, VP-300NK and VP-400NK, unless noted otherwise 2 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-300NK. After powering up your VP-300NK, switch on the power on each device 3 Two for the VP-200NK and four for the VP-400NK
