The VP-250:
 Accepts one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and then distributes
the signal to 2 identical outputs on high-density 15-pin HD connectors
 Has a video bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensuring that the machine
remains transparent even at high-resolution graphics modes such as UXGA (1600x1200)
 Accepts analog or digital syncs1 and provides ID Bit control2
 Can output video signals that are DC or AC coupled for maximum
flexibility (selected via the red, green and blue coupling buttons)
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 VP-250 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Figure 1, Figure 2 and Table 1 define the VP-250 unit:
1 The polarity is determined via a pair of underside switches. Note that both the Hs (horizontal sync) switch and the Vs
(vertical sync) switch should be set identically
2 Via an underside switch. Sometimes notebook computers refuse to output a VGA signal to an external VGA monitor. By
setting the ID BIT to ON, the notebook will output to an external VGA monitor
