3 Overview
Your VP-222K UXGA Switcher / DA is a combined 2x1 switcher and 1:2
distribution amplifier for computer graphics signals. The VP-222K UXGA
Switcher / DA has two inputs and a switch to select between the two
sources.
More specifically, the VP-222K UXGA Switcher / DA features:
A video bandwidth of 415MHz that ensures transparent operation
at the highest resolution UXGA modes
Buffered and isolated inputs that are distributed to two identical
outputs, allowing different acceptors to be connected (monitors,
projectors)
KR-ISP™ advanced sync processing that ensures compatibility
with a wide range of computers (even if the sync level is low) by
restoring the sync signal waveform
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables
1
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-222K away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit
