(resulting from the use of long cables, noisy source, etc.) and generates several identical buffered and amplified outputs. The front panels of these Kramer amplifiers are designed to be simple to operate. Typical applications of the machines are: computer graphics distribution in classes, point of sale and multimedia studios, displaying computer graphics before large audiences using the data input of a wide screen video projector.

High-resolution graphics systems should use very high quality cables for image transmission. The cables should be shielded to eliminate externally induced interference but the shield might itself increase the capacitance of the cable, and therefore, cause deterioration in the image’s resolution and clarity.

Interference from neighboring electrical appliances - They can have an adverse effect on signal quality. Balanced audio lines are less prone to interference, but unbalanced audio should be installed far from any mains power cables, electric motors, transmitters, etc. even when the cables are shielded.

Getting to Know Your VP-210xl Line Amplifier The Kramer VP-210xl is a high performance Line Amplifier for VGA/XGA signals. It accepts one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, loops it out to a local monitor or another acceptor and outputs an amplified and equalized signal to a remote acceptor.

INSTALLATION Rack Mounting The VP-210xl line amplifier may be rackmounted in a standard 19” (1U or 3U) EIA rack assembly, using either the RK-T1 optional adapter (1U rack space - for mounting up to three machines) or the RK-T3 optional adapter (3U rack space for mounting up to eight machines).
6.3 - “handling signal losses”. VP-210xl Preset In order to use the VP-210xl efficiently, the machine should be preset to the required application. There are four dip switches accessible from the bottom of the machine. Three are used for enabling the looping option, and one is used for pin 4 ID control.
Long and/or low quality cables tend to degrade the signal quality, resulting in image “smear” and fine-detail loss, as well as signal level attenuation. The VP-210xl allows the user to handle and correct those problems, using the built-in amplifiers. Using very high quality cables of 1-2 meter length will not require adjustment, even when the signals involved are UXGA signals (1600x1200 resolution).
2 outputs, the VP-300 provides 3, the VP-400 provides 4 and so on up to the VP-12xl that is able to provide 12 parallel outputs from a single input. All that is needed is to connect the output of the VP-210xl to the input of the selected distributor.
If not, disconnect power from the machine and reconnect again to reset the machine. If the recommended actions still do not result in satisfactory operation, please consult your KRAMER Dealer. KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD.
Confirm that the connecting cables are of high quality and properly inserted. Check level controls on your source input device or output display. KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD.
