611T/611R - (611T full bandwidth Fiber Optic Transmitter and 611R matching Fiber Optic Receiver) Part of the KRAMER TOOLS series, and designed for studio and other demanding applications, these machines, in combination, may be used to send one of the distributed channels to distances of 5-25Km. The 611T and 611R use state-of-the-art fiber optic circuitry and allow the user (via rear panel trimmers) to adjust input and output video levels and high frequency peaking to achieve best performance.
The VM-3S/xl splits a single input source into three identical outputs with no discernible signal degradation. Video output and input signals are AC coupled for maximal flexibility. The VM-3S/xl receives external 12VDC feed, and is housed in a very compact enclosure, making it ideal for field use.
Getting To Know Your VM-3V/xl Amplifier The KRAMER VM-3V/xl is a full bandwidth, state-of-the-art, 1:3 video distribution amplifier designed for studio and other demanding applications. The VM-3V/xl splits a single input source into three identical outputs with no discernible signal degradation. Video output and input signals are AC coupled for maximal flexibility.
Video sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the amplifier through the BNC connectors (VM-3V model) or 4p type connectors (VM-3S model) located at the back of the machine. If looping is needed, the VM-3Sxl and VM-3Vxl should be used. For looping (allowing another amplifier or any video acceptor to use the same video input) use a “T”...
