2.1 Quick Start
This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
3 Overview
The Kramer TOOLS VP-200N5is a 1:2 distribution amplifier for UXGA
resolution signals. It accepts one input, provides correct buffering and isolation,
and then distributes the signal to two identical outputs on high-density 15-pin
HD connectors. The VP-200N5features:
•High video bandwidth of 370MHz, ensuring that it remains
transparent even at high-resolution graphics modes such as
UXGA (1600x1200)
•5V DC power
•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
•EDID PassThru that passes EDID signals from source to display,
that is, from input to output 1 only

Achieving the best performance means:
•Connecting 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)
•Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your VP-200N5away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust

To connect1
Figure 2your VP-200N51:2 High Resolution UXGA DA, as the example
in illustrates, do the following2
1. Connect a computer graphics source to the INPUT 15-pin HD connector.
:
2. Connect the OUTPUT 15-pin HD 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 5V DC power adapter (wall transformer) to the 5V DC socket
and connect the transformer to the mains electricity.
