KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

3 Overview

The VM-100YC is a high quality 1:10 s-Video Distribution Amplifier for

s-Video (Y/C) signals. It accepts one input, provides correct buffering and

isolation, and distributes the signal to 10 identical outputs using 4-pin

connectors. The looping connector can be used to connect to a local display or

other Y/C acceptor, or to create larger systems (for example, connecting three

VM-100YC units to make a 1:30 s-Video Distribution Amplifier).

In addition, the VM-100YC features:

Bandwidth (Y) - 275MHz (-3dB)

Level (gain) controls - Y and C (on the underside)

Selectable input signal termination

A compact desktop size. Two units can be rack mounted side-by-side in

a 1U rack space with the optional RK-1 adapter

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 VM-100YC 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 VM-100YC

5 Connecting the VM-100YC

To connect the VM-100YC 1:10 s-Video Distribution Amplifier,as the

example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the following

1. Connect the s-Video source (for example, an s-Video player) to the

INPUT 4-pin connector.

2. Connect the OUT 4-pin connectors to up to 10 s-Video acceptors (for

example, s-Video recorders).

3. If required, connect the LOOP 4-pin connector, when looping units and

release the TERM switch on first unit (selecting Hi-Z). Push in the

TERM switch on the second unit (selecting 75).

4. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).

5. Switch on the VM-100YC.

The s-Video source distributes to the s-Video acceptors.
