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-2Hxl 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.

4 Connecting the VM-2Hxl

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

VM-2Hxl. After connecting your VM-2Hxl, connect its power and then

switch on the power to each device.

To connect the VM-2Hxl as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect the HDMI source (for example, a DVD player) to the HDMI

IN connector.

2. Connect the HDMI OUT connectors to up to two HDMI acceptors, as follows:

HDMI OUT 1 connector to an LCD TV

HDMI OUT 2 connector to a plasma display

3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity.

4. Press the EDID SETUP button to acquire or change the EDID information

(see Section 4.1).

4.1 Acquiring the EDID

Initially, the VM-2Hxl operates with the factory default EDID. This lets you connect

the power before connecting one of the acceptors or sources.

You can acquire the EDID from:

This is usually done only once, when the machine is being set up in an installation. Once

acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary.

One output (the relevant output illuminates)

The default EDID (both output LEDs flash)

Two connected outputs, the auto-mix mode (both output LEDs illuminate)

The EDID acquired is a weighted average of all the connected outputs. For example, if

several displays with different resolutions are connected to the outputs, the acquired

EDID supports all the resolutions, as well as other parameters included in the EDID.

When pressing the EDID SETUP button briefly, the OUT LEDs indicate which type

of EDID was last acquired. If the:

OUT 1 LED illuminates, the OUT 1 EDID is stored in the non-volatile

memory

OUT 2 LED illuminates, the OUT 2 EDID is stored in the non-volatile

memory

OUT 1 and OUT 2 LEDs illuminate, the Auto-Mix EDID is stored in the non-

volatile memory

OUT 1 and OUT 2 LEDs flash, the Default EDID is stored in the non-volatile

memory

To acquire the EDID, do the following:

1. Connect the power.

2. Connect the output or outputs from which you want to acquire the EDID.

3. Press and hold the EDID SETUP button to select the desired EDID.

The OUT LEDs illuminate in the following cycle: OUT 1, OUT 2, both

illuminate (auto-mix) and both flash (default).
