Overview
3 Overview
The VM-92 is a high performance universal style video distributor. It can be
configured in several different ways, including as a:
9 x 1:2 composite video distributor with looping inputs
4 x 1:2 s-Video (Y/C) distributor with looping inputs
3 x 1:2 component (YUV) distributor with looping inputs
3 x 1:2 RGB distributor with looping inputs
2 x 1:2 RGBS distributor with looping inputs
Using the loop connectors and termination switches you can interconnect
several channels to form various combinations, for example, a 1:18 composite
video distributor or a 1:9 s-Video (Y/C) distributor.
In particular, the VM-92
:
Is HDTV compatible
Includes a looping input and two outputs—per channel—all on BNC
connectors
Features independent termination and EQ. control per channel
Has a video bandwidth of 500MHz, ensuring transparent performance
even in the most critical applications
Is housed in a 19" 1U rack-mountable enclosure and is fed from a 90-264
VAC universal switching power supply
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 and position
your VM-92 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
