3 Overview
The Kramer VM-12HDCP is an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) compatible 1:12 distribution amplifier for DVI-D (Digital)
signals. Since high-resolution DVI signals are very sensitive to cable quality
and to PCB layout, the VM-12HDCP uses a uniquely designed PCB which
includes all buffering, conditioning and amplifying circuitry to provide 12
high-level output signals.
In particular, the VM-12HDCP:
•
Distributes signals having resolutions up to UXGA, including all
HDTV formats
• Has a bandwidth of 1.65Gbps
• Supports the DDWG DVI 1.0 standard
• Consists of a built-in re-clocking block that re-generates the DVI
signal, so that several units may be cascaded
• Can read and store, in non-volatile memory, the EDID 1
• Has I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an
intelligent EDID handling and processing algorithm that ensures

block
from one or more outputs, so it can then provide the EDID
information to the DVI source even if the display device is not
connected
• Has 13 DVI-I connectors, which are compatible with all types of
DVI cables
• Is a cost-effective solution for distributing the TMDS signals used
for DVI, and uses state-of-the-art line drivers on each of the 12
outputs
The VM-12HDCP fits in one vertical space of a standard 19” professional
rack enclosure (1U).
