4.1 Optional Accessories
The following accessories, which are available from Kramer, can enhance implementation of
your machine. For information regarding cables and additional accessories, contact your Kramer
dealer.
 Rack Mechanical Adapter - Used to adapt smaller machines to a standard 1U rack. One or
more machines may be installed on each adapter.
 103AV - (Video Audio Distribution Amplifier) can be serially connected between the Format
interface and the acceptor for video distribution. The 103AV splits a single video and audio-
stereo input source into three identical outputs. The 103AV uses an external 12VDC power
source, and therefore is suitable for field work as well. The 103AV uses state of the art
technology and microchip design, boasting a signal bandwidth of over 320MHz, thus making it
suitable for the most demanding applications.
 SP-11 - (Video/Audio Processor) can be serially connected between the video/audio source and
the format interface for video and audio control/correction. The machine provides camera
control and luminance/white balance correction. It is also capable of performing composite to
Y/C conversion and bi-directional transcoding. The machine allows full control over the video
signal: video gain down to full fade, log or linear definition control, log or linear contrast
control, color saturation control, black level control, red, green and blue controls and a screen
splitter control for “before-after” comparison. The Input switch control is "audio-follow-video".
 VS-2042 - (4x2 Video Component Matrix) can be serially connected between the sources and
the format interface for component video switching. The VS-2042 switches during the vertical
interval for live studio operation. The VS-2042 has a built-in RS-232 interface for computer
controlled operation, (software included) and several machines may be operated simultaneously
via PC control. Its signal bandwidth exceeds 75MHz and it has DC coupled inputs and outputs
for highest signal quality. Y, R-Y, B-Y or R, Gs, B signals are seamlessly routed.
 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.
