Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer VM-1045 is a high performance distribution amplifier for
component video signals. The unit has four channels. Each channel includes
seven BNC connectors: an input, a looping output, and five outputs.
The VM-1045 can be configured as a 1x1:5 component RGB/S DA, a 2x1:5
s-Video (Y/C) DA or as a 4x1:5 composite video DA.
The channels can be interconnected via the looping outputs to form larger
configurations. Also, several VM-1045 machines can be cascaded via the
looping outputs.
In particular, the VM-1045:
Has a bandwidth of over 415MHz, ensuring transparent video
performance and supporting SDI signals (for example, a 4x1:5 SDI DA)
Features independent input signal termination, as well as level and EQ.
controls per channel
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-1045 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
