3. HOW DO I GET STARTED?
The fastest way to get started is to take your time and do everything right the first time. Taking 15 minutes to
read the manual may save you a few hours later. You don’t even have to read the whole manual. If a section
doesn’t apply to you, you don’t have to spend your time reading it.

4.1 Optional Accessories
The following Kramer accessories can enhance implementation of your amplifier.
SP-40 - (Video/Audio Processor) Serially connected between the video/audio source and the VM amplifier
for video and audio processing, the machine is a high quality processor used for video control and correction
in duplication and production studios, camera control, luminance and white balance correction. The SP-40 is
capable of Composite to Y/C switching and bi-directional transcoding using its DC coupled video
inputs/outputs allowing full control over the video signal. The machine allows video gain control down to full
fade, definition control, contrast control, color saturation control, black level control, audio mix control for
mixing between the selected source and an audio AUX source and a screen splitter control for “before-after”
comparison. A unique limiter switch allows true signal limiting and special effects.
SP-11 - (Video/Audio Processor) can be serially connected between the video/audio source and the
amplifier for video and audio control/correction. The machine provides camera control and luminance/white
balance correction. The SP-11 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".
104L - (Video Line Amplifier) Serially connected between the video/audio source and the amplifier for
video and audio processing, the machine is used for video line amplification and cable compensation, video
field work and SDI signal distribution. Signal loss and the resulting depreciation in the picture quality is a real
problem in any video setup requiring considerable distance between video source and acceptors. The
KRAMER 104L Video Line Amplifier, one of the KRAMER TOOLS, is a high quality amplifier, which
prevents video signal losses over long cables. For best results the 104L amplifier is installed adjacent to the
video source. The 104L is housed in the compact KRAMER TOOLS enclosure and is fed by a 12VDC source.
High bandwidth and front accessible controls make it suitable for the most demanding analog and SDI studio
applications.
VM-9YC - (Video/Audio Line Amplifier) Serially connected between the video/audio source and the
amplifier for video and audio processing, the machine is a high quality video/stereo amplifier which
compensates for video and audio signal losses when long cables are used. In any video/audio setup requiring
considerable distances between video/audio source and acceptors, signal loss and thus depreciation in the
quality of both picture and sound is a real problem. To prevent this phenomenon, a VM-9S amplifier is
installed adjacent to the video/audio source.
