The following Kramer accessories can enhance implementation of your amplifier. For additional information
regarding optional cables and additional accessories, contact your Kramer dealer.
Rack Adapter - Used to install smaller size machines in a standard 1U rack. One or more machines may
be installed on each adapter.
BNC "Y" Connector - Used for looping purposes and splits the incoming signal to enable connection of
an additional machine.
Termination Plug - Used to terminate the line to 75ohm for proper matching.
VS-5x4 - (5x4 Video/ Stereo Audio Matrix Switcher) can be serially connected between sources and VM
amplifiers for video and audio input switching. The VS-5x4 may also be used as one 1:4 or two 2:2 Y/C-
video/audio DAs or any other combination as well. The VS-5x4 switches during the Vertical Interval for
smooth transitions between genlocked sources. The machine is microprocessor and RS-232 controlled
(software included), and is operated by touching a keypad on the front panel. Front switches control the
audio level of each output. Large illuminated seven segment LED displays show the connection status of
the machine at any given moment.
VIDEO TESTER - A new, unique, patented, indispensable tool for the video professional, the Video
Tester is used to test a video path leading to/from an amplifier. By pressing only one touch switch it can
trace missing signals, distinguish between good and jittery (VCR sourced) signals, and identify the
presence of good signals. Whenever a video signal is missing- because of bad connections, cable breaks
or faulty sources- the Video Tester is all you need.
