3 Overview
The unique and versatile
VM-42
Video Switcher - Distributor
combines the
functions of a composite video switcher and a distribution amplifier. The
VM-42
Video Switcher - Distributor
is a 4x1 vertical interval switcher, with
each of the 4 inputs also operating as a 1:2 distribution amplifier.
The
VM-42
Video Switcher - Distributor
is linkable in any of the following
combinations:
4 x 1 Switcher
1 x 1:8 DA
4 x 1:2 DA
2 x 1:4 DA
1 x 1:6 + 1 x 1:2 DA
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your
VM-42

- Distributor
in a location free from moisture and away from excessive
sunlight and dust
