Overview 3 Overview The VA-1 UXGA Sync Processor is a high-performance sync corrector that can be used for any UXGA computer graphics video signal. The lowvoltage sync signal is cleaned up and brought to the TTL voltage level while passing color signals transparently. This is especially useful when sending a video signal over a long display line. To achieve the best performance: Use only good quality connection cables 1 to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables). Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VA-1 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust Caution No operator-serviceable parts inside unit. Warning Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with this unit 2. Warning Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall before installing or removing device or servicing unit. 1 Available from Kramer Electronics on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com 2 For example, part number 2535-000251 3
