5.2 Getting To Know Your VM-10AN Amplifier
The Kramer VM-10AN is a compact, high quality 1:10 distribution amplifier using BNC connectors for
composite video, and RCA connectors for stereo audio signals. It accepts one set of inputs, provides correct
buffering and isolation, and distributes it to up to ten identical outputs designed to drive monitors, projectors,
and other receiving devices. Bandwidth exceeding 70MHz ensures transparent performance with typical video
and audio sources. 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.

installation is required (see section 4.1 "Rack Adapters"), in which case do not attach the feet.
