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 VS-42HN away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4 VS-42HN - Overview

3.1 Defining the 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-42HN 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 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

VS-42HN - Overview 5

•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

•Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

•Supports 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), standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL, as well as

480p and 576p

3.3 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.
