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-200AK away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
TheKramerTOOLSVP-200AK is a 1:2distributionamplifierforUXGA(and
higher)resolutionsignals,aswellasunbalancedstereoaudiosignalsand/or
balancedstereoaudiosignals.
In particular, the VP-200AK 1:2 UXGA/ Audio DA:
• Accepts one computer graphics input', provides correct buffering and
isolation, and then distributes the signal to two identical outputs on
high-density I5-pin HD connectors
• Accepts an unbalanced stereo audio input, and simultaneously
outputs two unbalanced stereo audio outputs on mini-plug
connectors, and two balanced stereo audio outputs on terminal block
connectors
• With its video bandwidth exceeding 500MHz, ensures transparent
operation at high-resolution graphics modes such as UUXGA
(I600xI200)
• Accepts TTL syncs"andprovides ID bit control internally, as well as
separate controls for audio output level and UXGA equalization
• Features KR-ISP™ advanced sync processing that ensures
compatibility with a wide range of computers (even if the sync level
is too low) by restoring the sync signal waveform to achieve a sharp,
stable image
• Is 5V DC fed

l Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-200AK. After powering up your VP-200AK, switch
on the power on each device
2 When only one output is required, use either of the outputs, and leave the other output unconnected
To connect your VP-200AK 1:2 UXGA/ Audio DA, as the example in
Figure 2 illustrates, do the following':
1. Connect a computer graphics source to the I5-pin HD (F) INPUT
connector.
2. Conned the I5-pin HD (F) OUTPUT connectors to up to two
acceptors, as follows:
• Connect the OUTPUT 1 connector to acceptor 1 (for example, a
display)
• Connect the OUTPUT 2 connector to acceptor 2 (for example, a
projector)
3. Connect the unbalanced audio source (for example, the computer graphics
source audio) to the INPUT 3.5mm mini j ack connector.
4. Connect the unbalanced audio OUT 1 and OUT 2, 3.5mm mini jack
connectors, to up to two unbalanced audio acceptors (for example, tape
recorders).
5. Connect' the BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT (RI, L1 and R2, L2)
terminal block connectors to up to two balanced audio acceptors (for
example, power amplifiers).
6. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).
