KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
3 Overview
The high-performance VP-210K is a line amplifier for UXGA1 computer
graphics signals that provides controls to compensate for signal losses
inherent in long cable runs.
In particular, the VP-210K UXGA Line Amplifier features:
Video bandwidth of 350MHz, ensuring that it remains transparent
for all resolutions
HDTV compatibility
Separate controls for output level and cable equalization, and
independent input signal termination for red, green and blue
A looping input
KR-ISP™ advanced sync processing that ensures compatibility
with a wide range of computers (even if the sync level is too low)
by restoring the sync signal waveform
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables2 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
VP-210K 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 unit3.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 XGA, as used in this manual, means any RGBHV signal on a 15-pin HD connector having a resolution from VGA up to
UXGA

5 Connecting the VP-210K UXGA Line Amplifier
To connect your VP-210K UXGA Line Amplifier, as shown in the example in
Figure 2, do the following1:
1. Connect a computer graphics source (for example, a computer) to the
INPUT 15-pin HD (F) connector.
2. Connect the OUTPUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to an acceptor (for
example, a projector).
3. Connect the LOOP 15-pin HD (F) connector to an acceptor (for
example, a local display).
4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the 5V DC socket and connect the
transformer to the mains electricity (not illustrated in Figure 2).
5. Adjust the video output signal level and/or cable compensation equalization
level as needed.
6. Set the DIP-switches as follows:
If no terminal is attached to the LOOP connector, set the
switches down to 75 TERM
If a terminal is attached to the LOOP connector, set the
switches up to HI-Z
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-210K. After powering up your VP-210K, switch on
the power on each device
