corrector that can be used for any computer graphics video signal from VGA to UXGA. When sending a computer graphics video signal from a PC to a monitor via a long-distance display cable, the delay between the picture information and the sync may cause a horizontal shift on the display. The VA-1Hs compensates by shifting the sync accordingly, so that the picture is properly displayed. To achieve the best performance: • Use only good quality connection cables1 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-1Hs away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 1 Available from Kramer Electronics on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com
