VP-771 – Overview
7
If an HDMI signal is HDCP protected, it can only appear on HDMI
and DGKat outputs that are connected to HDCP compliant displays.
The VP-771 will not output an HDCP protected source to a display
that is not HDCP compliant. Instead it will show a black screen.
In the dual window display mode (see Section 7.2), even if only one
of the inputs is HDCP protected, and is output to a non-compliant
display, it will affect the entire screen and turn it black.
i
The VP-771 is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”
included, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.
3.1 HDCP Compliance
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The VP-771 can power the receiver on the DGKat output when the devices are
within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as
the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard TP
cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used (TP cable is still
suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these
distances).
3.3 Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the
Kramer: BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23
(CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform
regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 / CAT 7a cables.

computer).
EDID Select – to select the native resolution on each input (HDMI, DP and
VGA inputs) to be read by the video source connected to that input:
1024x768@60, 1280x800@60, 1280x1024@60, 1366x768@60,
1440x900@60, 1400x1050@60, 1600x900@60, 1600x1200@60,
1680x1050@60, 1920x1200@60RB, 720p50, 720p60, 1080p50, 1080p60,
2K50 or 2K60
Note that for the HDMI and DP inputs, you can either select the color depth to
be 8bpp or 12bpp after selecting the native resolution
Note that when the EDID is set on the inputs, the changes are per
input and immediate for PC 1, PC 2 and DP inputs.
Setting the EDID on any one of the HDMI inputs affects that HDMI
input immediately (the VP-771 automatically issues a hot-plug) and
will affect the other HDMI video source only after a hot-plug
occurrence on that input.
For example, if the EDID is selected for HDMI2 it will affect the
HDMI2 input immediately; the HDMI1 EDID will take effect
following a hot-plug.
Color Space – to select the color space for the PC and HDMI inputs: RGB,
YPbPr or Follow Input
Note that if the machine is set to the dual display mode, and both the Main
and PiP windows display the same input, you need to set the same input color
space value for both windows
