Overview
3 Overview
The Pico TOOLS micro-sized high performance 1:2 distribution amplifiers
that are described in this user manual include the following:
PT-102AN, see section 3.1
PT-102SN, see section 3.2
3.1 About the PT102AN 1:2 Audio DA
The PT-102AN 1:2 Audio DA is a micro-sized high performance 1:2
distribution amplifier for unbalanced
1
stereo audio signals.
The PT-102AN:
Accepts a single unbalanced stereo audio input and distributes it to two
identical outputs using 3.5mm mini connectors
Has separate left and right gain controls for optimizing signal levels
Is ideally suited to work with the Pico TOOLS PT-102VN 1:2 Video DA
and the Pico TOOLS PT-102SN 1:2 s-Video DA
3.2 About the PT-102SN 1:2 s-Video DA
The PT-102SN 1:2 s-Video DA is a micro-sized high performance 1:2
distribution amplifier for s-Video (Y/C) signals.
The PT-102SN:
Accepts a
single s-Video input and distributes it to two identical outputs
via 4-pin connectors
Has a bandwidth of 150MHz, ensuring that it remains transparent even in
the most critical applications
Has separate chrominance and luminance gain controls
Is ideally suited to work with the Pico TOOLS PT-102AN 1:2 Audio DA
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 that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer PT-102AN /
PT-102SN machine away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
1 You can use the PT-102AN to distribute a balanced mono audio signal, via readily available adapter cables

5.1 Connecting the PT-102AN 1:2 Audio DA
To connect the PT-102AN 1:2 Audio DA, as the example in Figure 3
illustrates, connect the following1:
1. Connect an unbalanced stereo audio source (for example, an unbalanced
stereo audio player) to the IN 3.5mm mini connector.
2. Connect the two OUT 3.5mm mini connectors to up to two unbalanced
stereo audio acceptors, as follows:
Connect the OUT 1 connector to an unbalanced audio acceptor (for
example, an unbalanced stereo audio recorder)
Connect the OUT 2 connector to an unbalanced audio acceptor (for
example, a power amplifier with speakers)
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
4. Adjust the left and right gain level, if required.
Figure 3: Connecting the PT-102AN 1:2 Audio DA

5.2 Connecting the PT-102SN 1:2 s-Video DA
To connect the PT-102SN 1:2 Audio DA, as the example in Figure 4
illustrates, connect the following1:
1. Connect an s-Video source to the IN 4-pin connector (for example, an
s-Video player).
2. Connect the two OUT 4-pin connectors to up to two s-video acceptors
(for example, displays).
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
4. Adjust the C and Y gain level, if required.

5.3 Increasing the Number of Inputs/Outputs
When it is necessary to handle more than one input (that is, to be able to
select one of several inputs), you can increase the number of inputs by
connecting the output of another switcher to the input of the machine (for
example, connect the output of the Kramer 4x1S 4x1 s-Video Mechanical
Switcher1 to the input of the PT-102SN, to create a 4x2 switcher, as
illustrated in Figure 5).
Figure 5: Increasing the Inputs
You can cascade the unit with other high quality distribution amplifiers to
distribute a source to more than two outputs (for example, connect each of the
outputs of the PT-102AN to the input of the Kramer 105A 1:5 Stereo Audio
Distribution Amplifier1, to create a 1:10 DA, as illustrated in Figure 6).
