2 VA-2H - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

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

•Use Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection 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 VA-2H away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

VA-2H - Overview 3

3 Overview

The VA-2H is a diagnostic and debugging tool for installers working with HDMI

devices. The unit can switch three different EDIDs to the HDMI input. A software

editor lets you manipulate various parameters of the EDID via the unit's USB port.

The VA-2H features:

•A maximum data rate of up to 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel)

•An input resolution of up to 1080p @60Hz 36bit

•HDCP 1.1, and DVI 1.0 compliance

•HDMI support for Deep Color, x.v.Color™, Lip Sync, HDMI Uncompressed

Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD

•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an Intelligent EDID

handling and processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for

HDMI systems

•Three EDID parameter modes – monitor, default and user

•Input, output and HDCP LED indicators

•Application software for manipulating the EDID data

•The last EDID mode (Monitor, Default or User) is saved in case of a sudden

power interruption

3.1 Defining EDID

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

display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the

display’s source). The EDID enables the VS-41HDCP 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.

EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards

Association (VESA).

3.2 About HDCP—General Description

The High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard developed by

Intel, protects digital video and audio signals transmitted over DVI or HDMI

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.

3.3 About HDMI—General Description

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

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

industry. HDMI ensures an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated

with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog conversions. It delivers

the maximum high-definition image and sound quality in use today. Note that Kramer

Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered

trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

In particular, HDMI:

•Provides a simple interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-

top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital flat

LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy cable

SIMPLICITY - With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost,

complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V systems is reduced

LENGTHY CABLE - HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable

construction at up to 15m

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

audio on a single cable

MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO - 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

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

with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and

requirements

•Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video quality

via a single cable, and user-friendly connector

HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting

uncompressed video formats in a simple, cost-effective manner

•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

•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 576p

6 VA-2H - Connecting the VA-2H

4 Connecting the VA-2H

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

VA-2H. After connecting your VA-2H, connect its power and then

switch on the power to each device.

To connect the VA-2H as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

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

connector.

2. Connect the HDMI OUT connector to the acceptor (for example, an LCD

display).

3. If needed, connect the S/PDIF RCA connector to a digital audio acceptor (for

example, a power amplifier with speakers).

4. If making changes to the EDID parameters, connect the USB connector to a

computer.

5. Connect the power adapter to the 12V DC connector, plug the adapter into

the mains and power on all external devices.
