Your WP-210AL
In particular, the WP-210AL has:
XGA level control
XGA cable equalization control
Left and right audio level controls
A loop termination button
An ID BIT control switch
Switches to select between analog / digital sync operation
LEDs for power and signal detection
A standard 12 Volt DC feed
To achieve the best performance:
Connect 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)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer WP-210AL
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Using the WP-210AL
5.1 Installing the WP-210AL
To install your WP-210AL:
1. Connect the 5 RGBHV BNC output connectors1 to the pre-installed
wiring in the wall box opening that connects to the XGA acceptor (for
example, a projector), as Figure 5 defines.
Figure 5: WP-210AL RGBHV Outputs
2. Connect the terminal block balanced stereo output as one of the following:
Figure 6: Connecting the Balanced Stereo
Audio Output to a Balanced Acceptor
Figure 7: Connecting the Balanced Stereo
Audio Output to an Unbalanced Acceptor
3. Set both the Hs and Vs switches.
4. Connect your 12V DC power supply to the terminal block connector,
taking care that the polarity is correct.
5. Insert the WP-210AL directly into the wall box opening, and then
mount the front panel securely using the screws.
1 The WP-210AL could be used for component HDTV by connecting YPbPr in place of GBR, and not connecting H and V

Using the WP-210AL
5.2 Operating the WP-210AL
To operate your WP-210AL:
1. Connect your computer graphics source (for example, a laptop’s digital
graphics card) to the XGA INPUT HD15F connector and to the AUDIO IN
3.5mm mini jack, for example, using a Kramer C-GMA/GMA cable (VGA
HD15M +Audio jack to VGA HD15M +Audio jack)1.
Alternatively, you can connect a separate audio source to the AUDIO IN
3.5mm mini jack.
2. If required, connect the XGA LOOP HD15F connector to a local monitor.
3. Push in the ID Bit button to the ON position.
4. Adjust2 the output signal level and/or cable compensation equalization level, if
required, as well as the right3 and/or left3 audio output signal levels.
