Overview

3 Overview

The VM-22HD 2 x 1:2 HD/SD-SDI DA is a high-performance 2 x 1:2 distributor for all SDI video signals. In particular, the VM-22HD:
Transmits up to 200m
Accepts two inputs and distributes each signal to two pairs of
identical outputs using BNC connectors
Has a video bandwidth of 1.485GHz that enables it to be used for
standard-definition and high-definition serial digital video signals (SD/HD-SDI)
Also passes digital information (embedded audio, Teletext, time
code, and so on) during the video blanking period
SMPTE 292M, 259M, 344M, and 372M (dual link application)
compliance and data rates of 143, 177, 270, 360, 540, 1483.5, and 1485Mbps
Provides automatic, multi-rate, equalization and reclocking to
compensate for losses typical to long runs of 75Ω co-axial cable of up to 200m
Has LEDs indicating the SDI resolution
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables
1
to avoid 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
VM-22HD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

5 Connecting the VM-22HD 2 x 1:2 HD/SD-SDI DA

This section describes how to connect the VM-22HD in single link mode
(see section 5.1

5.1 Connecting the VM-22HD in the Single Link Mode

) and in dual link mode (see section 5.2).
To
connect the VM-22HD, as shown in the example in Figure 2
1
following
:
, do the
1. Connect one or two HD-SDI/SD-SDI video sources (for example, cameras) to the INPUT A and/or B BNC connectors.
2
2. Connect up to
four video OUTPUT BNC connectors to the appropriate
HD-SDI/SD-SDI video acceptors (for example, displays).
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2
).
The VM-22HD operates as soon as it is connected and powered on.

5.2 Connecting the VM-22HD in the Dual Link Mode

To connect the VM-22HD, as the example in Figure 3
following
1
:
illustrates, do the
1. Connect one HD-SDI/SD-SDI video source (for example, a dual-link camera) to the INPUT A and B BNC connectors.
2. Connect OUTPUT A 1 and B 1 BNC connectors to a dual link HD-SDI/SD-SDI video acceptor (for example, display A).
3. Connect OUTPUT A 2 and B 2 BNC connectors to a dual link HD-SDI/SD-SDI video acceptor (for example, display B).
4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3
).
The VM-22HD operates as soon as it is connected and powered on.
