Step 3: Install VM-212DT
Install VM-212DT using one of the following methods:
Remove the three screws from each side of the unit, reinsert those screws through the rack ears
and mount on a 19" rack.
Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VM-212DT. For best results, we recommend that
you always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to VM-212DT.
Step 5: Connect the power
Connect the power cord to VM-212DT and plug it into the mains electricity.

Acquiring the EDID using the front panel buttons:
1. Press the EDID SELECT button repeatedly until the required EDID source is selected, (either Default, Ext, or one of
the outputs).
The relevant EDID TYPE / OUTPUT LEDs light green.
2. Press the EDID READ button.
The EDID READ button lights red for a short while and the EDID is copied to the currently selected input. If the EDID
READ button flashes once, this indicates that the EDID was not read and the device reverts to the last stored EDID,
as indicated by the LEDs.
Note: If the EDID READ button is not pressed for a few seconds, the procedure is terminated and the device does not store a
new EDID.
Note: The EDID can also be acquired and modified using the embedded webpages or Kramer EDID Designer software.
Selecting an input:
Press the INPUT button to toggle between the inputs.
The relevant INPUT LED lights green.
