VP-436N - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

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

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 VP-436N 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.

connector and two HDMI signals. It scales the video, embeds the audio, and outputs

the signal to the HDMI output as well as to a computer graphics output, an RGBHV

video output together with a digital audio output and an analog stereo audio output.
