3 Overview
The high-quality VS-12DPIR accepts a DisplayPort (DP) input and
distributes the signal to one of two selectable outputs.
In particular, the VS-12DPIR features:
•Up to 2.7Gbps bandwidth per graphic channel
•A maximum resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and a total maximum
bandwidth of 10.8Gbps over four lanes
•A high-resolution, and rich colors, and transports audio and multiple
video streams
•EDID PassThru – Passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to display
•HDCP compliancy
•5V DC power
•Remote control capability
3.1 About DisplayPort
DisplayPort (DP) is a digital display interface standard for the PC industry. It
delivers the highest resolutions and sound quality.
In addition, DisplayPort:
•Provides a simple interface between a PC and a display, projector or TV
•Supports 1 to 4 data pairs ("lanes") at a transfer rate of 1.62Gb or 2.7Gb
per second
•Has a maximum length of 15 meters for video transmission, at a
resolution of 1080p/60Hz and 3 meters for full bandwidth transmission
•Video specs include a video path that supports 6 to 16 bits per color
channel, a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and a total maximum
bandwidth of 10.8Gbps over four lanes
•Is backward-compatible with HDMI, DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and
VGA, via an appropriate adapter
•Version 1.1 supports HDCP (see section 3.2)
•Supports two-way communication over its auxiliary channel between the
video source (for example, a PC) and the digital display, enabling new
functionality such as automatic configuration and one-button play
•Replaces the interface needed between the PC and an external display, as
well as the low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface in
notebook computers, monitors, to connect to LCD panels

3.2 About HDCP
The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard1
3.3 Recommendations for Best Performance
protects
digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI connections
between two HDCP-enabled devices to eliminate the reproduction of
copyrighted material. To protect copyright holders (such as movie studios)
from having their programs copied and shared, the HDCP standard provides
for the secure and encrypted transmission of digital signals.
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables2
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VS-12DPIR
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables).

connector.
:
2. Connect the DP OUT connectors to up to two acceptors, as follows:
DP OUT 1 connector to a display
DP OUT 2 connector to a display
3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter

5.1 Controlling via the REMOTE Terminal Block Connector
The contact closure remote control pins operate in a similar way to the output
SELECT button. Using the contact closure remote control lets you select an
output by remote control. To do so, temporarily connect the required input
(OUT1 or OUT2) pin on the REMOTE terminal block connector to the G
(ground) pin, as illustrated in the examples in Figure 3.
DO NOT connect more than one PIN to the G PIN at the same time
To select OUT 1, attach PIN OUT1 to the G
PIN:
To select OUT 2, attach PIN OUT2 to the G
PIN:
