2.1
Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer DS Vision® 3000 away from moisture, excessive
sunlight and dust
For best performance the spec of the cable should be:
.
.
Gauge: 24AWG (should be written on the cable)
Wire: solid wire (should be written on the cable)
For cable runs over 100m (330ft) the SKEW delay of the cable should be no
more than 20ns per 100m (330ft) (should be written in the spec of the cable)
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
