3 Overview

Overview

The VP-300THD is a high-performance distribution amplifier for computer

graphics video signals

with resolutions ranging from VGA through UXGA and higher as well as HDTV. It takes one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and distributes the signal to two computer graphics video or HDTV outputs and one twisted pair output.

The VP-300THD features:

• HDTV compatibility

• H & V sync polarity switches for improved HDTV compatibility with

the CAT 5 outputs

• ID bit control

• A resolution of up to WUXGA and 1080p

• A transmission range of more than 300 feet (more than 100 meters)

• The Power Connect feature (see section 3.1

)

• 12V DC power

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables

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-300THD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

1 Note that the CAT5 connector excludes audio

Overview

3.1 About the Power Connect Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

. For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors, make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).

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)

recomm

end 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 non-skew-free cable, Kramer

BC-STP is intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. For cases where there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP,

may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested 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 might cause inconformity to electromagnetic standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

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

5 Connecting the VP-300THD

You can use the VP-300THD and, for example, the TP-120 to configure an XGA/HD DA/CAT 5 Transmitter and Receiver system.

To connect the VP-300THD with the TP-120, as the example in Figure 3

illustrates, do the following:

1. On the VP-300THD 1:2 XGA/HD DA/CAT 5 Transmitter, connect the:

 Computer graphics (XGA / HD) source (for example, a computer)

to the INPUT 15-pin HD connector

 OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 15-pin HD connectors to up to

acceptors (for example, to a display and to a projector, respectively)

1 Downgoing syncs

2 By default, both switches are set to the left

3 The default. Enabling the notebook or laptop to output a VGA signal to an external VGA monitor

4 When both outputs are not required, connect only the output that is required and leave the other output unconnected

2. On the TP-120 XGA Line Receiver, connect the XGA OUT 15-pin HD

connector to the XGA / HD acceptor (for example, a display).

3. Connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector on the VP-300THD to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on the TP-120, via UTP cabling (with a range of more

than 300ft (more than 100 meters)), see section 3.2

4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket on the

VP-300THD, and plug the adapter into the mains electricity socket.

Similarly, connect the other 12V DC power adapter to the power socket on

the TP-120, and plug that adapter into the mains electricity socket.

5. On the VP-300THD, if required:  Set the ID BIT switch to ON

 Set the VS and HS switches

on the underside

6. On the TP-120, if required:  Adjust

the video output signal level and/or cable compensation

equalization level
