Your VGA Distributor
With its video bandwidth of 350MHz, ensures transparent operation at the
highest resolutions
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 that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your Kramer VP-3 in a
location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
