VM-80VN - 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-80VN 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-80VN - Overview

3 Overview

The VM-80VN is a high−performance distribution amplifier for composite or SDI

signals. It can be configured as a 1:4 DA for s−Video (Y/C) signals and a 1:8 DA

for CV or SDI signals. It has controls to compensate for signal losses inherent in

long cable runs.

More specifically the VM-80VN features:

High bandwidth - 330MHz (−3dB)

Level (gain) and EQ (peaking) controls

Dual-mode that configure as either a 1:8 (composite) or 1:4 (s−Video) DA

Internally selectable video AC/DC Coupling

Companion unit to the VM-80A Audio DA

Desktop size where 2 units can be rack mounted side−by−side in a 1U rack

space with the optional RK−1 adapter

4 Connecting the VM-80VN

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

VM-80VN. After connecting your VM-80VN, connect its power and

then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the VM-80VN as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect up to two video sources (for example composite video players) to

the CH1 IN and CH2 IN BNC connectors of the VM-80VN.

2. Connect up to 8 acceptors to the CH 1 OUT (up to 4) and CH 2 OUT (up to

4) BNC connectors.

3. If a 1:8 operation is needed, press the rear button marked 1:8.

If not, release the button for 2x1:4 operation.

4. If looping is needed, release the 75Ω rear termination switch.

If looping is not needed, press the switch in to the 75Ω position.

5. If 1:8 operation is selected, one of the termination switches should always be

in the released state and the other according to looping requirements.

6. If necessary, adjust the trimmers on the front panel of the machine to

achieve best results.

Level: To compensate for the loss of brightness due to the attenuation of voltage levels

in long cable runs. Adjust while looking at the display device to achieve natural

brightness.

EQ: To compensate for the loss of sharpness due to the attenuation of high frequencies

in long cable runs. Adjust while looking at the display device for natural detail.

7. Connect a mains power source to the socket on the rear panel of the

VM-80VN.

8. Operate source, acceptors and the VM-80VN machine.
