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. 

UNPACKING AND CONTENTS  

The items contained in your Kramer Black Burst Generator package are listed below. Please save the original

Optional Accessories   

The following accessories, which are available from Kramer, can enhance implementation of your distributor. 

For information regarding cables and additional accessories, contact your Kramer dealer. 

VM-1010 - a high performance distribution amplifier for composite video signals on BNC connectors.  

Using a simple front panel switch, it can be configured either as a single 1:10 DA, or as two separate 

1:5s.  In either mode its purpose is to provide identical outputs to drive multiple monitors, projectors or 

other  receiving  devices.    The  looping  connectors  located  adjacent  to  each  input  may  be  used  as  an 

additional  output  in  some  cases,  and  can  make  it  easy  to  create  larger  systems.  Rear  panel  switches 

allow the user to select DC or AC output coupling for maximum flexibility.  The 

VM-1010 is housed in 

a rugged, professional rack  mountable enclosure with an internal power supply allowing the use of a 

standard, detachable power cord.  

VM-1110 - a high performance distribution amplifier for balanced audio signals using XLR connectors.  

Using a simple front panel switch, it can be configured as a 1:10 for mono signals, or as a 1:5 for stereo 

signals.  In either mode, its purpose is to accept a single input and provide identical outputs for a wide 

variety  of studio and  live applications. State-of-the-art  Bi-Fet amplifying circuitry, and  a high  power 

discrete  buffering system  make the 

VM-1110 an excellent performer.  All circuitry is active with no 

transformers, thus ensuring hum-free, full bandwidth operation.  It is rugged, dependable, and is housed 

in a professional rack mountable enclosure requiring one vertical space in a standard 19” rack. 

VM-1411  - an exceptionally high performance distribution amplifier for composite video and balanced 

audio signals.  Using front panel controls, the video and audio sections can be independently configured 

as a single channel  1:10,  or as a two channel  1:5.   In either mode its  purpose is to  provide identical 

outputs  to  drive  multiple  monitors,  projectors,  audio  power  amps,  mixers  or  other  receiving  devices.  

Looping connectors located adjacent to each input may be used as additional outputs in some cases, and 

can  making  it  easy  to  create  larger  systems.  Rear  panel  switches  are  provided  to  set  coupling  and 

termination,  and  recessed  front  panel  controls  allow  the  user  to  set  optimum  video  and  audio  output 

levels.    The 

VM-1411  is  rugged,  dependable,  and  is  housed  in  a  professional  19”  rack  mountable 

enclosure requiring one vertical space in a standard rack. 
VIDEO TESTER - A unique, patented, indispensable tool for the video professional, the Video Tester 

is used to test a video path leading to/from an amplifier. By pressing only one touch switch it can trace 

missing signals, distinguish between good and jittery (VCR sourced) signals, and identify the presence 

of  good  signals.  Whenever  a  video  signal  is  missing,  because  of  bad  connections,  cable  breaks  or 

faulty sources, the Video Tester is all you need.
