Overview 3 Overview This user manual describes the following products: • Kramer TOOLS VP-200XLTHD XGA Line Amp/CAT 5 Transmitter, which accepts one computer graphics input and distributes the signal to its 15-pin HD connector output, as well as transmitting it over STP cabling (CAT 5 or similar) to its appropriate receiver (see Section 4) • Kramer VP-5THD 1:4 VGA/UXGA Distributor/CAT 5 Transmitter, which is a distributor for computer graphics signals, accepting one input, and distributing the signal to it
Overview skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be used. Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where possible, since the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using those cables. Although Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
Defining the VP-200XLTHD XGA Line Amp/CAT 5 Transmitter 4 Defining the VP-200XLTHD XGA Line Amp/CAT 5 Transmitter The VP-200XLTHD is a high-performance XGA line amp/CAT 5 transmitter that accepts one computer graphics (XGA) input, provides necessary buffering and isolation, and distributes the signal to the 15-pin HD connector output, as well as transmitting it over STP cable to its appropriate receiver.
