4 VM-2DH - Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer VM-2DH is a DisplayPort to DVI/HDMI converter and distributor for
digital signals that is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
compatible. Since high-resolution DVI signals are very sensitive to cable quality
and to PCB layout, the VM-2DH uses a uniquely designed PCB which includes all
buffering, conditioning and amplifying circuitry to provide two high-level output
signals.
In particular, the VM-2DH features:
•
Support for resolutions up to WUXGA, including all HDTV formats
•
A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel)
•
The DDWG DVI 1.0 standard
•
Support for up to eight embedded audio channels
•
Built in re-clocking circuitry that regenerates the DVI/HDMI signal so that
several units may be cascaded
•
A non-volatile read and store memory for the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) block from one of the outputs, so it can then provide the
EDID information to the DisplayPort source even if the display device is not
connected
•
A default EDID for fast and efficient connection of the unit
•
I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™—intelligent EDID
handling and processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for
DVI/HDMI systems
•
A DVI-I connector which is compatible with all types of DVI cables
•
State-of-the-art line drivers on both outputs to provide a cost-effective
solution for distributing the TMDS signals used for DVI/HDMI
