VM-8HN - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VM-8HN away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

VM-8HN - Overview

3 Overview

The VM-8HN is a high-quality 1:8 HDMI distributor with 2 looping HDMI outputs

that takes one HDMI input, equalizes and reclocks the signal and distributes it to

eight identical outputs and two loops. The VM-8HN distributes signals having

resolutions up to 4Kx2K 30Hz and including WUXGA and 1080p.

In particular, the VM-8HN features:

A maximum data rate of 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per graphic channel)

HDMI support for Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed

Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC (CEC pass through from

input to output 1 only)

HDCP compliance

Video wall support that mutes the video on all displays and simultaneously

unmutes them when all inputs are ready; with selectable output delay.

Automatic 5V turn off - When no active input signal is detected, the unit turns

off 5V on the output allowing attached devices to power off.

MAC Setting enables and disables HDCP support on the input allowing the

source to transmit a non−HDCP signal if required.

Force RGB modifies the EDID saved on the input to support RGB format

(that is, not YUV format).

Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital

signal integrity to travel longer distances

I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an intelligent EDID

handling and processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for

HDMI systems

A default EDID for fast and efficient connection of the unit

The default EDID feature lets you connect the VM-8HN without having to connect a

display to the output

Support for EDID Designer

3D pass-through
