2 VM-3H2 - 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

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VM-3H2 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 (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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your VM-3H2 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.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics power supply that is

provided with the unit

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

before installing

4 VM-3H2 - Overview

3 Overview

The VM-3H2 is a distribution amplifier for 4K UHD HDMI 2.0 signals. The unit takes

one HDMI input, equalizes and reclocks the signal and distributes it to three identical

outputs. It distributes signals having resolutions up to 4K@60 (4:4:4) with HDMI 2.0

and HDCP 2.2.

The VM-3H2 features:

•A maximum data rate of 17.82Gbps (5.94Gbps per graphic channel) that

supports resolutions up to 4K @60Hz (4.4.4)

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

Audio Channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, CEC

•HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2.0 support

•Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital

signal integrity to travel longer distances

•A default EDID for fast and efficient connection of the unit

The default EDID feature lets you connect the VM-3H2 without having to connect a

display to the output

•Operating modes selectable by DIP-switch: force RGB, lock EDID, HDCP

enable, programming mode

•3D pass-through

•Plug and Play operation

•Cascade of Kramer devices like distribution amplifiers

•An RS-232 port for upgrading firmware

•A compact MegaTOOLS®enclosure with a 5V DC power source

3.2 Setting the DIP-Switches

The VM-3H2 uses four DIP-switches to set four different operation modes:

•Programming mode – normal operation mode, programming mode

•MAC mode – enable HDCP, disable input HDCP

•Force RGB - force RGB, normal operation mode

•Lock default EDID – locked, not locked

Note: Any time the DIP-switch settings are changed, the device must be powered

off and on for the new settings to take effect.

6 VM-3H2 - Overview

To select the operation mode, set the DIP-switches as follows:

Programming

mode

HDCP Input

(MAC mode)

Force RGB

Lock Default

EDID

DIP

OFF (up)

Normal mode

HDCP enabled

Force RGB

EDID not locked

ON (down)

Enable programming

HDCP disabled

Normal mode

EDID locked

The VM-3H2 toggles between “Normal” and “Force RGB” modes.

In “Force RGB” mode, the read EDID is rewritten to identify only RGB support.

•To force RGB, set DIP 3 OFF (up)

•After setting Force RGB mode you must re-acquire the EDID to update the

Force RGB change

Powering on the device identifies the mode as follows:

•In “Normal mode” (meaning no forcing RGB), the LEDs flash once

•In “Force RGB mode”, the LEDS flash four times.

Note: Force RGB modifies the EDID saved on the input to not support YUV format.

In case of a pink display, use the Force RGB mode.

3.3 LED Indications

The input and output LEDs turn on only when there is an input signal and an active

output device connected.

Flashing LEDs indicate the following states:

4 Connecting the VM-3H2

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

your VM-3H2. After connecting your VM-3H2, connect its power and

then switch on the power to each device.

You do not have to connect all the inputs and outputs, connect only

those that are required.

To connect the VM-3H2, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2, do the following:

1. Connect an HDMI input source (for example, a 4K Blu-ray player) to the

HDMI IN connector.

2. Connect the three OUTPUT connectors to up to three HDMI acceptors, as

follows:

Not all outputs need to be connected.

HDMI OUT 1 connector to HDMI acceptor 1 (for example, a 4K display

with speakers)

HDMI OUT 2 connector to HDMI acceptor 2 (for example, a 4K display

with speakers)

HDMI OUT 3 connector to HDMI acceptor 3 (for example, 4K plasma

display)

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

connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).

See Section 3.3 for the state of the LED indicators during and after powering

on.
