KRAMER:  SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

 

Overview 

 

3  Overview 

The Kramer 

VA-680D

 is a digital delay line that can be used as a 

coax-to-optical or optical-to-coax converter, as a coax or optical repeater, as a 

digital audio switcher and as an audio delay line.  
The high-performance 

VA-680D

Lets you adjust for lip sync errors so that the audio delay will match the 

video delay

1

 

Lets you adjust the brightness of the display via the dimmer setting 
Automatically sets the maximum delay time according to the input 

sample rate (for each input channel) 

Recalls the previously set display brightness level and input settings

 via 

its non-volatile memory after powering up 

Provides a delay time, ranging from 0 up to 999 milliseconds

 in increments of 

1msec 

Is EIAJ CP1201, IEC-60958, AES3, S/PDIF compatible and supports 32kHz to 

96kHz sample frequency range 

Is fully transparent to the digital stream, making it ideal for the most demanding 

audio applications including home cinema and professional audio applications 

(such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, AES and so on) 

Is 12VDC fed and is housed in a DigiTOOLS enclosure 

Achieving the best performance means: 

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels 

(often associated with low quality cables) 

Avoiding interference that may adversely influence signal quality and 

positioning the 

VA-680D

 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
