5.1 Getting to Know Your 401Dxl
The Kramer 401Dxl is a high quality decoder/switcher designed to convert composite video into s-Video (Y/C)
and switch between the converted Composite input and an additional Y/C input to one output. It is an excellent

formats must be switched to one acceptor. The 401Dxl has full compensation for Y/C delay, and comes with a
12V power supply. The optional VA-50P can power up to six Kramer devices requiring 12VDC.
The 401Dxl is part of the Kramer TOOLS family of compact, high quality, cost effective solutions for a variety
of applications.
