5.3 Getting to Know Your 103YC line Amplifier
The Kramer
103YC
is a high performance line amplifier which combines the functions of a distribution
amplifier and line driver. It accepts a single S-video (Y/C) input and provides three identical buffered outputs
that are affected by gain and equalization controls located on the top panel. The gain and equalization controls
are designed to compensate for signal loss inherent in long cable runs. Separate overall gain controls for Y
(Luma) and C (Chroma) are provided, and the EQ. control boosts the upper frequencies of the Y component
most susceptible to loss. Bandwidth exceeding 430MHz ensures that the
103YC
remains transparent even in
the most critical applications. A 12VDC-power supply is provided for typical operation, but the optional 50P
can power up to six Kramer devices requiring 12VDC. The
103YC
is part of the Kramer Tools family of
compact, high quality, and cost effective solutions for a variety of applications. Front panel features of the
103YC
are described in Figure 3 and Table 3.
