(up to 12 MHz) signals up to 100 meters. At shorter distances, as in a studio, bandwidth of 30MHz is easily achieved. By using the KRAMER TP-1 together with the TP-2 (video Line Receiver) coax wiring (in a studio, for example) can be completely eliminated. The TP-1 can also be used for simplification of security and CCTV installations, and for teleconferencing in offices and hospitals using existing unused intercom or telephone wiring.
Getting To Know Your VM-80V The Kramer VM-80V is a broadcast quality distribution amplifier designed primarily for composite video signals on BNC connectors. Using a simple rear panel switch, it can be configured either as a single 1:8 DA, or as two separate 1:4s.

Looping inputs make it easy to expand to larger distribution systems. The VM-10AN can also be mounted in a standard 19” rack using the RK-10 kit, which holds one unit in two vertical spaces. Front/Rear panel features of the VM-10AN are described in Figure 2 and Table 2.
For these cases AC coupling should be selected. Coupling Selection The VM-80V and the VM-10AN come from the factory with DC coupling. Selecting AC Coupling is performed by removing the internal jumper. To remove jumper, perform the following steps: 1) Disconnect the machine from the mains supply by removing the power cord from the wall outlet.
Operate source, acceptors and the VM-80V machine. Operating the VM-10AN Connect a video cable from the video source to the video input socket of the VM-10AN and an audio-stereo cable from the source to the Right and Left Audio inputs sockets.
If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with another, with the same rating. For model VM-10AN perform the following: Remove the power cord from the AC outlet and then using a philips screwdriver, carefully remove the cover of the machine.
Video Signal 11.3 (VM-80V, VM-10AN) Problem Remedy No video at the output device, regardless of input selected Video level is too high or too low Noise bars "roll" up or Hum bars (ground loop) are caused by a difference in the ground potential of any down in the output two or more devices connected to your signal path.
