3 Overview

The Kramer VM-12HDCP is an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content

Protection) compatible 1:12 distribution amplifier for DVI-D (Digital)

signals. Since high-resolution DVI signals are very sensitive to cable quality

and to PCB layout, the VM-12HDCP uses a uniquely designed PCB which

includes all buffering, conditioning and amplifying circuitry to provide 12

high-level output signals.

In particular, the VM-12HDCP:

• Distributes signals having resolutions up to UXGA, including all

HDTV formats

• Has a bandwidth of 1.65Gbps

• Supports the DDWG DVI 1.0 standard

• Consists of a built-in re-clocking block that re-generates the DVI

signal, so that several units may be cascaded

• Can read and store, in non-volatile memory, the EDID

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

intelligent EDID handling and processing algorithm that ensures

block

from one or more outputs, so it can then provide the EDID

information to the DVI source even if the display device is not

connected

• Has 13 DVI-I connectors, which are compatible with all types of

DVI cables

• Is a cost-effective solution for distributing the TMDS signals used

for DVI, and uses state-of-the-art line drivers on each of the 12

outputs

The VM-12HDCP fits in one vertical space of a standard 19” professional

rack enclosure (1U).
