how to install Kramer VP-440X

• Position the VP-440X in a rack or on a stable surface within easy reach of your sources and displays. Ensure adequate ventilation and access to power.
• Connect your sources to the device: up to four HDMI sources to the HDMI inputs and a computer graphics source to the VGA input. Use high-quality cables to preserve image integrity for 4K content.
• Connect the two display endpoints: connect an HDMI display or projector to the HDMI output and a second display or long-range display via HDBaseT output using the appropriate HDBaseT receiver if needed for remote location displays.
• Link the audio path as required: embed audio from sources into the video stream for the displays, or route audio to external speakers or a sound system as needed. Verify that the audio levels are balanced across outputs.
• Power on, configure the scaler and output timing, and test each input for proper video and audio. Use the front panel or a control interface to adjust scaling, aspect ratio, and any room automation settings to match your room’s displays and seating layout.
