104LN - 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 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 104LN 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.

104LN - Overview
3 Overview
The 104LN is a high-performance distribution amplifier and line driver for
composite and SDI video signals.
The 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier features:
One composite video input and 4 identical buffered outputs
Recessed gain and EQ. (equalization) trimmer controls that compensate for
signal losses inherent in long cable runs
Differential input that eliminates common mode noise picked up by the input
cable, and supports long cables (letting you locate it anywhere in the
distribution chain)
Bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensuring transparency in the most critical
applications
Full DC coupling, ensuring signal linearity and flatness

104LN - Overview
Figure 2 illustrates the INPUT GROUND switch:
Figure 2: 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier (Underside)
By default, the INPUT GROUND switch is set to FLOAT (the input signal is
isolated from the chassis). If the image appears noisy, set the switch to ON (the
input signal is grounded to the chassis).

4 Connecting the 104LN
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
104LN. After connecting your 104LN, connect its power and then
switch on the power to each device.
To connect the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier, as the example in
Figure 3 illustrates, connect the following:
1. Connect a composite video source (for example, a satellite decoder and
receiver) to the INPUT BNC connector.
2. Connect the four OUT BNC connectors to up to four composite video
acceptors, as follows:
Connect the OUT 1 connector to video acceptor 1 (for example,
a video recorder)
Connect the OUT 2 connector to video acceptor 2 (for example,
a video display)
Connect the OUT 3 connector to video acceptor 3 (for example,
a video display)
Connect the OUT 4 connector to video acceptor 4 (for example,
a video display)
3. Adjust the output signal level and/or cable compensation equalization level,
if required.
4. If the image appears noisy, set the INPUT GROUND to either ON or FLOAT
to lower the noise level.
