2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

3 Overview

The Kram er TOO LS VP-200N5 is a 1:2 distribution amplifier for UXGA
resolution signals. It accepts one input, provides correct buffering and isolation,
and then distributes the signal to two identical outputs on high-density 15-pin
HD connectors. The VP-200N5 features:

• High video bandwidth of 370MHz, ensuring that it remains

transparent even a t high-reso l ut io n gr aphics modes such as
UXGA (1600x1200)

• 5V DC power

• Kr-isp

®

Advanced Sync Processing that ensures compatibility with a
wide range of computers (even if the sync level is too low) by
restori ng the sync si gna l wa veform

• EDID PassThru that passes EDID signals from source to display,

that is, from input to output 1 only

Your VP-200N5 1:2 High Resolution UXGA DA

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-200N5

away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust
