Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The high performance 104LN is a distribution amplifier and a line driver for

composite and SDI video signals.

In particular, the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier:

Accepts a composite video input and provides 4 identical buffered outputs

Includes recessed Gain and EQ. (equalization) trimmer controls, which

compensate for signal losses inherent in long cable runs

Has a differential input, which helps to eliminate common mode noise

picked up by the input cable, and supports the use of long cables (letting

you locate it anywhere in the distribution chain)

Has a bandwidth in excess of 400MHz, ensuring that it remains

transparent even in the most critical applications

Is fully DC coupled, ensuring the best linearity and signal flatness

To achieve the best performance:

Connect 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)

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position

your Kramer 104LN 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.

Connecting the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier

5 Connecting the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier

To connect the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier, as the example

in Figure 5 illustrates, connect the following

1. Connect a composite video source (for example, a satellite decoder and

receiver) to the INPUT BNC connector.

2. Connect the four OUT BNC connectors to up to four composite video

acceptors, as follows:

Connect the OUT 1 connector to video acceptor 1 (for example, a

video recorder)

Connect the OUT 2 connector to video acceptor 2 (for example, a

video display)

Connect the OUT 3 connector to video acceptor 3 (for example, a

video display)

Connect the OUT 4 connector to video acceptor 4 (for example, a

video display)

3. Adjust the output signal level and/or cable compensation equalization level, if

required.

4. If the image appears noisy, set the INPUT GROUND to either ON or FLOAT

to lower the noise level.

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 104LN. After connecting your 104LN, switch on its

power and then switch on the power on each device
