Getting To Know Your VM-1042 Amplifier
The KRAMER VM-1042 is a full broadcast, looping Video Component Distributor
designed for studio and other demanding applications. VM-1042 splits each input of a
four-component source into two identical outputs with no discernible signal degradation.
Input and output DC coupling and state-of-the-art video amplifying circuitry make the
KRAMER VM-1042 the first choice Video Component Distributor. Signal bandwidth of
200MHz allows the VM-1042 to be used for the most demanding applications. The VM-
1042 may be used as a 4 times looping 1:2 video DA of exceptional quality, for any video
source (Composite, YC, YUV or RGB).
Front/rear panel features of the VM-1042 are described in Figure 4 and Table 7.
