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
