CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES
Video sources and output devices (such as monitors, projectors or recorders) may be connected to the PICO
TOOLS through the BNC type connectors (PT102V) or through the 4P connectors (PT102S) located on the
back of the unit. If you use separate Y and C cables for the distribution of s-Video, the cables must be of equal
lengths. The signals supported by the various models are composite and S-video signals.

CONNECTING TO AUDIO DEVICES
Audio sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the PICO TOOLS
through the 3.5mm mini phone type connectors (PT102A) located at the back of the machine. The signals
supported are Stereo-Audio and Balanced Mono.

USING THE MACHINES
9.1
Turning on the Machine
NOTES
1) The machine should only be turned on after all connections are
completed and all source devices have been turned on. Do not attempt
to connect or disconnect any video or audio signals to the machine
while it is turned on.
2)
The socket-outlet should be near the equipment and should be easily
accessible. To fully disconnect equipment, remove the power supply
adapter from the mains socket.
1) Connect the machine's DC socket to the power supply (provided with the machine). Observe proper
polarity! Observe that the LED on the panel is illuminated.
2) Operate the source and the acceptors.
9.2
Gain and EQ. Control (PT102V only)
The Gain Control function enables the operator to adjust the picture intensity level and compensate for losses
caused by cables which are too long or non-standard. The EQ. Control pre-compensates for cable losses. The
control trimmers should be used only if you are absolutely sure that the problem arises from the cables or
connectors. Unnecessary use of those trimmers will upset the factory adjustments and the 1:1 signal
transparency will be lost.
9.3
Luma Control (PT102S only)
The Luma Level control should be treated similarly to the Video Gain control described above. Unnecessary
adjustments will upset the 1:1 signal transparency. Equalization problems that occur due to long or non-standard
cables, resulting in fine detail loss may be further compensated by using the Kramer VM-9YC Y Equalization
Control function.
9.4
Chroma Control (PT102S only)
The Chroma Level control should be treated similarly to the Video Gain control described above. Unnecessary
adjustments will upset the 1:1 signal transparency. Problems that occur due to long or non-standard cables,
resulting in color distortion problems may be further compensated by using the Kramer VM-9YC Chroma
Equalization Control functions.
9.5
Audio Level Control (PT102A)
To adjust the audio level, simply adjust the
L, R
audio level trimmers until a satisfactory audio level is
achieved.
