1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this Kramer Electronics Differential Line Amplifier. Since 1981, Kramer has been dedicated to the development and manufacture of high quality video/audio equipment. The Kramer line has become an integral part of many of the best production and presentation facilities around the world. In recent years, Kramer has redesigned and upgraded most of the line, making the best even better.
! ! ! ! 3 Amplifying circuitry quality is extremely important and should posses high linearity, low distortion and low noise operation. The distance between source and acceptors plays a major role in the final result. If long distances (over 15 meters) exist between sources and acceptors - special means should be taken in order to avoid cable loss, such as using higher quality cables or, if necessary, line amplifiers. Interference from neighboring appliances can have an adverse effect on signal quality.
! ! ! 5 105V - (1:5 Video Distribution Amplifier) can be serially connected between the output of the amplifier and several acceptors for video distribution. The 105V splits a single video input source into five identical outputs. The 105V uses an external 12VDC power source, and therefore is suitable for fieldwork as well. The 105V uses state of the art technology and microchip design, boasting a signal bandwidth of over 200MHz, thus making it suitable for the most demanding applications.
