KRAMER CERTIFICATION - FAQ
Kramer Certified Digitalist
What is a KCD?
A KCD is a Kramer Certified Digitalist
How do I obtain a KCD?
Upon successful completion of our one day Kramer Digital Systems
Training workshop and a simple open book exam to demonstrate
that you have understood the material, you will be awarded
the Kramer Certified Digitalist certification.
How much does certification cost?
The workshop and exam have been, and will continue to be, provided
at a nominal charge to the attendee. At Kramer we make every
attempt to provide these classes in as many regional locations as
possible.
Does this workshop provide InfoComm Renewal Units?
We are pleased to be able to offer 10 RU’s valid towards a CTS,
CTS-D or CTS-I for the Kramer Digital Systems Training which
leads to the KCD certification. All of our training courses provide
InfoComm renewal units.
Do I need to renew the KCD certification?
You may register for any of our regional training workshops via our
website at www.kramerus.com. Look under the “Training” tab for all
of our latest educational offerings and regional events.
Yes. Due to the fact that this training is based on digital systems,
designing and implementation, renewal will be necessary every
two years. This technology is continually evolving so that after
you have received your KCD it may be necessary to acquire new
information in order to maintain the certification and keep pace
with any changes in the industry. It is not our intention to require
repetition of the original material or class.
Can you provide this workshop at our facility?
Is the KCD a requirement to be a Kramer dealer?
We are always willing to provide customized training or any of our
educational offerings to individual companies as time allows. Please
contact Jason Johnstone, Kramer Product Manager at Electrosonic
SA, to discuss your training needs.
No - absolutely not. We offer this education and training for your
benefit. We do not require that you obtain any of our training in
order to maintain or gain dealer status.

clea r that Kramer Installer Solutions should be your
first choice!

integrate your AV system. Our “Installer Solutions”
line includes:
Bulk Cable: Cable only on spools, with no
termination. Available in a wide range of formats
and lengths and in standard, Low Smoke Halogen
Free and plenum rated versions.
Plenum-rated cable is most often used in
commercial buildings with HVAC systems
which frequently use the open plenum airspace
above suspended ceilings as an air return.
Cables with ratings such as CL2P, CL3P, and
CMP typically satisfy building fire and safety
codes by meeting more stringent standards for
flammability and smoke emission.
Cable Assembles: 15-pin HD (VGA), BNC, RCA,
s-Video, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, FireWire®, XLR
and more, made with copper or fiber optic
conductors; in various lengths with connectors
on each end to fit virtually every connectivity
application. Also available in standard, Low Smoke
Halogen Free and plenum-rated versions.
Termination Accessories: Kramer offers the perfect
way to finish your cabling installation. In addition
to typical adapters, gender changers, etc., choose
from our high-performance radial compression
system, or an industry-standard crimp system for
installing BNC, RCA or F type connectors.
Wall Plates: Kramer offers a wide range of
passive and active wall plates, from simple passthrough connectors on small modules to 2 gang

Table-Mounted Cable Management Solutions:
Conference tables are a central element of many
AV presentation systems. The challenge facing
system designers is to provide tabletop inputs for

attractive table connection products are designed
to provide maximum connectivity coupled with
easy, neat and flexible installation.
