5.2 Getting To Know Your VM-10AN
Amplifier
The Kramer
VM-10AN
is a compact, high quality 1:10 distribution amplifier using BNC connectors for
composite video, and RCA connectors for stereo audio signals. It accepts one set of inputs, provides correct
buffering and isolation, and distributes it to up to ten identical outputs designed to drive monitors, projectors,
and other receiving devices. Bandwidth exceeding 70MHz ensures transparent performance with typical video
and audio sources. Looping inputs make it easy to expand to larger distribution systems.
The
VM-10AN
can also be mounted in a standard 19” rack using the
RK-10
kit, which holds one unit in two
vertical spaces. Front/Rear panel features of the
VM-10AN
are described in Figure 2 and Table 2.

INSTALLATION
The amplifier is provided with four rubber feet packed in a separate bag. Fit the feet to the unit, place it on the
table remote from heat generating sources and make the required connections. Use a rack adapter in case a rack
installation is required (see section 4.1 "Rack Adapters"), in which case do not attach the feet.
