Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer TOOLS VP-200NAKis a1:2 distribution amplifier for XGA and
higher or lower resolution signals, as well as unbalanced stereo audio signals and/or
balanced stereo audio signals, with a unique new feature. It includes the Kramer
innovative integrated sync processing; KR - ISP™ technology, which lets you
achieve a sharp, stable image when the sync level is too low, by restoring the sync
signal waveform.
The VP-200NAK 1:2 XGA / Audio DA:
ñ
Accepts one XGA input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and
then distributes the signal to two identical outputs on high-density 15 pin
HD connectors
ñ
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
ñ
ñ
ñ
With its video bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensures transparent
operation at high-resolution graphics modes such as UXGA (1600x1200)
Accepts analog or digital syncs1 and provides ID Bit control2 as well as
separate controls for audio output level and XGA equalization
Is 12VDC fed
Achieving the best performance means:
ñ
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)
ñ
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your VP-200NAK 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 unit3.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 Via a pair of underside switches. Note that both the Hs (horizontal sync) switch and the Vs (vertical sync) switch MUST be
set identically
2 Via an underside switch. Sometimes notebook computers refuse to output a VGA signal to an external VGA monitor. By
setting the ID BIT to ON, the notebook will output to an external VGA monitor

5 Connecting the VP-200NAK 1:2 XGA / Audio DA
To connect your VP-200NAK 1:2 XGA / Audio DA, as the example in Figure 5
illustrates, do the following1:
1. Connect a computer graphics source to the INPUT HD15F connector.
2. Connect2 the OUTPUT HD15F 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 UNBALANCED AUDIO INPUT 3.5mm mini Jack
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, power
amplifiers).
5. Connect2 the BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT (R1, L1 and R2, L2) terminal
block connectors to up to two balanced audio acceptors (for example, power
amplifiers).
6. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 5).
7. If required, on the underside of the VP-200NAK:
° Set the Hs and Vs switches
° Set the ID Bit switch to ON
° Adjust3 the right and left audio signal levels
° Adjust3 the XGA EQ. level
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-200NAK. After powering up your VP-200NAK,
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
3 Insert a screwdriver into the small hole and carefully rotate it, trimming the OUTPUT level
