6 Using Your VP-6A 1:6 UXGA / Audio / +1 CAT5 Distributor

The example in Figure 3 illustrates how to output a computer graphics signal

(and audio) from a computer to up to six local monitors, as well as how to

transmit it over UTP cabling to a

TP-122 XGA / Audio Line Receiver.

To connect the

VP-6A and a TP-122, do the following:

1. Connect a computer graphics source (for example, a computer) to the

INPUT HD15F connector and to the UNBAL. AUDIO IN 3.5mm mini

jack, for example, using a Kramer C-GMA/GMA cable

. Press the IN

SELECT button

2. Connect the OUTPUT HD15F connectors to up to

six acceptors (for

example, Local Display 1 to Local Display 6).

3. Connect up to

12 stereo audio outputs

, that is, up to six:

Unbalanced stereo audio OUT 3.5mm mini jacks,

and

Balanced

stereo audio 5-pin terminal block connectors (see section 6.1)

4. Connect

the CAT5 RJ-45 LINE OUT connector

to the LINE IN RJ-45

connector on a Kramer CAT5 receiver, such as the

TP-122 unit.

5. Connect the power cord

to the

VP-6A (not illustrated in Figure 3).

6. On the

VP-6A:

Adjust

the UXGA cable compensation equalization level and/or the

audio level, if required

Set the ID BIT switches 4 and 11 on the underside to ON (by sliding

them to the left). This would enable a notebook or laptop (if connected

instead of a computer) to output an UXGA signal to an external VGA

monitor

If necessary, slide the VS and HS switches to the right to output

1 XGA HD15M +Audio jack to XGA HD15M +Audio jack (not supplied). The complete list of Kramer cables is on our Web
site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com. Alternatively, you can connect an XGA source to the XGA INPUT HD15F
connector, and a separate audio source to the UNBAL. AUDIO IN
2 Alternatively, connect a computer graphics source to the INPUT HD15F connector, and a balanced stereo audio source to the
BAL. AUDIO INPUT 5-pin terminal block connector, and release the IN SELECT button
3 When not all outputs are required, connect only the outputs that are required and leave the other outputs unconnected
4 Note, that if the selected audio input is unbalanced, it is converted to balanced stereo audio; if the selected audio input is
balanced, it is converted to unbalanced stereo audio
5 By wiring the balanced outputs as unbalanced (see Figure 5) you can output 12 unbalanced stereo audio outputs
6 Via UTP cabling, with a range of more than 300ft (>100m): see section 6.1
7 The TP-122 (or TP-120) may be powered via this connector (instead of via the 12VDC external supply)
8 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
9 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
