2.1
Quick Start
This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
The Kramer VA-1Hs UXGA Sync Shifter is a high-performance sync delay
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

2. While observing the display, press the right or left SHIFT buttons as needed
to center the picture. Depending on the resolution, the image can be shifted
up to about 1/3 of the screen in either direction.
Note: To increase the correction speed, press and hold the SHIFT button for
more than 3 seconds.
3. The setting is saved in non-volatile memory 5 seconds after the last
press/correction.
4. When the VA-1Hs is turned OFF and ON after a correction is made, the
ON button lights weakly to indicate a stored value.
