KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
4
• Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel
digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future
enhancements and requirements
• Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital
video quality via a single cable 1
• Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
, and user-friendly connector
• Supports two-way communication between the video source (such
as a DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new
functionality such as automatic configuration and one-button play
HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats
(720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60), as well as standard definition formats such as
NTSC or PAL.
3.2 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID 2
3.3 Recommendations for Best Performance
) is a data-structure,
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is
connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the VM-22H to
“know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID
includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data
supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital
displays only) the pixel mapping data.
To achieve the best performance:
•
Connect 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)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position
your VM-22H away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

simple, cost-effective manner
