3 Overview

The VS−88DTP is a high−performance matrix switcher for DVI signals. The unit accepts up to eight DVI inputs, reclocks and equalizes the signals, and routes to any or all DGKat™ twisted pair outputs simultaneously for connection to compatible TP receivers, for example, the PT-572HDCP+or TP-574.

More specifically, the VS-88DTPfeatures:

•A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel)

•8 DVI-D inputs on DVI-I connectors

•8 DGKat twisted pair outputs on RJ-45 connectors

•HDTV compatibility (no HDCP compliance)

•DGKat™ Signal Integration that converts TMDS as well as control and communication to signals that run over twisted pair cables. Kramer strongly recommends using Kramer DGKat™ cables designed specifically for optimum performance

•Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital signal integrity to travel longer distances

•I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an intelligent EDID handling & processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for DVI systems
