VM-1021N - 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/support/product_downloads.asp

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 VM-1021N 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.

VM-1021N - Overview

3 Overview

The VM-1021N is a high-performance distribution amplifier for composite or SDI

video signals. It provides controls to compensate for signal losses inherent in long

cable runs.

The VM-1021N is a full broadcast, state-of-the-art, 1:20 video distribution amplifier

designed for studio and other demanding applications. The unit splits a single

input source into twenty identical outputs with no discernible signal degradation.

The outputs are divided into 4 sets of five each, where each set may be

individually trimmed (level and EQ) for maximal flexibility. The machine may be

used to distribute analog or SD-SDI video signals, composite or single component.

The unit features:

High bandwidth of 350MHz (-3dB)

Grouped level (gain) and EQ (peaking) controls

Looping inputs

Selectable input signal termination

DC coupling

Standard 19” rack mount size of 1U

Figure 1 and Figure 2 define the unit.
