influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer VS-88HDCPxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

4 VS-88HDCPxl - Overview

3.1 About HDCP

The HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 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.

3.2 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure, provided by a

display, to describe its capabilities to a DVI source.

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

The EDID enables the VS-88HDCPxl 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 6.4 for details of how to

acquire the EDID.

VS-88HDCPxl - Overview 7

3.4 Using the IR Transmitter

You can use the RC IR3 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in IR

receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver (Model:

C-A35M/IRR-50). The external IR receiver can be located up to 15 meters away

from the machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used

with three extension cables (Model: C-A35M/A35F-50).

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer dealer to

insert the internal IR connection cable (P/N: 505-70434010-S) with the 3.5mm

connector that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the

external IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.
