VM-10xl - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VM-10xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

VM-10xl - Overview

3 Overview

The VM-10xl is a high-quality 1:10 video audio distribution amplifier using BNC

connectors for composite video, and RCA connectors for unbalanced stereo audio

signals. The VM-10xl accepts a composite video input and distributes the signal to

10 identical outputs.

In particular, the VM-10xl:

Includes looping connectors for connecting to a local monitor, other

acceptor, or for forming larger systems

For example, you can connect 3 VM 10xl units to make a 1:30 video audio distribution

amplifier. See Section 5.1 for details.

Has a video bandwidth of 360MHz, ensuring transparent performance with

typical video and audio sources

Can function as unbalanced stereo audio or balanced mono audio (selected

via an audio control button)

Recommended for low signal transmission over long distances or in audio broadcasting

studios for high quality signal recreation.

Can output video signals that are DC or AC coupled for maximum flexibility

(selected via a coupling button)

Has front panel video trimmer controls for output level and cable equalization

(EQ.), as well as audio trimmer controls for left and right gain, with an enable

/ disable control button

The video outputs are arranged in two blocks of 5 outputs (outputs 1 to 5, and outputs 6

to 10). Each block can be separately trimmed for output level and cable equalization

(EQ.) thus achieving different compensations for different cable lengths.
