•The ETHERNET

3.1 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID2

7.2

) is a data-structure,

provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The

EDID enables the VS-88H 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. See section for

details of how to acquire the EDID.

1 Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions

2 Defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)

3.2 About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital1

In particular, HDMI:

audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema

industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound quality. Note

that Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.

•Provides a simple2interface between any audio/video source, such as

a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver and video monitor, such

as a digital flat LCD/plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy3

•Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-

channel digital audio

cable

•Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital

audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements

and requirements

on a single cable

•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital

video quality via a single cable5

•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

, and user-friendly connector

•Supports CEC, 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, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as

NTSC or PAL, as well as 480p and 576.

1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-

to-analog conversions

2 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables

currently used in AV systems is reduced

3 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m

4 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to

support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats

5 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a

simple, cost-effective manner

3.3 About HDCP

The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard

(developed by Intel), protects digital video and audio signals transmitted

over DVI or DVI connections between two HDCP-enabled devices to

eliminate the reproduction of copyrighted material. To protect copyright

holders (such as movie studios) from having their programs copied and shared,

the HDCP standard provides for the secure and encrypted transmission of

digital signals.

3.4 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that

may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VS-88H away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

to avoid interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated

noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
