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.

A line amplifier
– such as Kramer VM-9S, 104L (video), VM-9YC, 103YC (s-Video), VP-2xl, VP-22

VIDEO TESTER
- A new, 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.
