 Kramer VP-5R CAT 5 Receiver / 1:5 VGA/UXGA Distributor, which

is a distributor for computer graphics signals, receiving the computer graphics signal via CAT 5 UTP cable, and distributing the signal to 5 identical 15-pin HD outputs, see section 8

This section describes:

 The power connect feature, see section 3.1  Using shielded twisted pair (STP) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP),

see section 3.2

 Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section

3.3

3.1 About the Power Connect Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The distance does not exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.

3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

We recommend that you use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. There are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best quality STP cable that you can afford. Our STP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-SXTP, is intended for transmitting VGA signals. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP, is intended for digital signals. The compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cables, therefore we recommend using those cables.

Although unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference. However, since the use of UTP cable may not conform to electromagnetic standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance

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 and

position your Kramer machines 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 unit1.

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

To connect the VP-5T/VP-5THD with the VP-5R, as the example in Figure 12 illustrates, do the following:

1. On the VP-5T/VP-5THD , connect the computer graphics source (for example, a computer) to the INPUT 15-pin HD connector, and connect up to1 4 acceptors (for example, local displays) to the OUTPUT 15-pin HD connectors 1 to 4.

2. On the VP-5R, connect up to1 5 acceptors (for example, displays) to the OUTPUT 15-pin HD connectors 1 to 5.

3. Connect the CAT 5 OUT RJ-45 connector on the VP-5T/VP-5THD to the CAT 5 LINE IN RJ-45 connector on the VP-5R, via UTP cabling (with a range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)), see section 11.1.

4. Connect the power cord2 (not illustrated in Figure 12) to the VP-5T/VP-5THD , and connect the other power cord2 to the VP-5R.

5. On the VP-5T, if required:

 Adjust3 the front panel cable ompensation equalization

level

 Set the underside ID BIT Control switches

6. On the VP-5THD, if required:

 Set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches4 on the underside

7. On the VP-5R, if required:

 Adjust3 the front panel LINE INPUT signal level and/or

cable compensation equalization level, and/or OUTPUT compensation equalization level

 Set the V SYNC and H SYNC switches4, on the underside

1 When not all the outputs are required, connect only those that are required and leave the other output(s) unconnected

2 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with each specific machine

3 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level

4 By default, both switches are set down (for negative V SYNC and H SYNC polarity)
