KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
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 systems1
Has a video bandwidth of 360MHZ, ensuring transparent performance
with typical video and audio sources
Can function as unbalanced stereo audio or balanced2 mono audio
(selected via an audio control button)
Can output video signals that are DC or AC coupled for maximum
flexibility (selected via a coupling button)
Has front panel video trimmer controls3 for output level and cable
equalization (EQ.), as well as audio trimmer controls for left and right
gain, with an enable / disable control button
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting 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)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your VM-10xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust

Figure 1 and Table 1 define the VM-10xl Video Audio Distribution Amplifier:
1 For example, you can connect 3 VM-10xl units to make a 1:30 video audio distribution amplifier. See section 6.2 for details
2 Recommended for low signal transmission over long distances or in audio broadcasting studios for high quality signal
recreation
3 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
