Overview 

The Kramer 

VA-40

 

4 Channel PC Image 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-40

 

compensates by shifting the sync accordingly, so that the picture is properly 

displayed.  
The 

VA-40

 syncs up to four lines simultaneously and the shift setting for 

each input is stored in non-volatile memory that maintains the setting even 

after the unit is powered off.  
The 

VA-40

 is especially useful when installed together with a display 

switching device. Sync is maintained on all displays even switching through 

the various PC sources. 
To achieve the best performance: 

 

Use only good quality connection cables

1

 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-40 

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 

 

 

 

Caution

 – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit. 

 

Warning

 – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power 

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

Warning

 – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall 

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
