3.Connect the VIDEO OUT 1 to 20 BNC connectors to up to 20 acceptors (for

example, composite video recorders).

You are not required to connect all the acceptors.

4.Connect the AUDIO OUT 1 and 20 RCA connectors to up to 20 acceptors

(for example, the audio input on the video recorders).

You are not required to connect all the acceptors.

5.If needed, connect the VIDEO LOOP BNC connector to an acceptor (for example, a composite video display or another VM-20ARII) and set the termination pushbutton to 75Ω.

6.Connect the power cord to the unit (not shown in the illustration) and then to

the mains electricity. Switch on the power.

Use the power cord supplied with the unit.

7.If needed, adjust the VIDEO GAIN or EQ controls or the AUDIO GAIN on the front panel.

8.Set the mode of operation by pressing one of the operating mode control switches (one set for audio and one set for video) as follows:

ƒPress the 1:20 switch to split input “1” to all 20 outputs

ƒPress the 2x1:10 switch to split input "1" to outputs "1-10" and input "3" to outputs "11-20"

ƒPress the 4x1:5 switch to split four inputs to four consecutive sets of five outputs each

ƒPress the 1:10+2x1:5 switch to split input "1" to outputs "1-10", input "3" to outputs "11-15" and input "4" to outputs "16-20"

This capability is essential for ensuring that content is presented uniformly across different screens.

The VM-5ARII supports a wide range of video formats, including composite video, S-Video, and any standard resolution up to 1080p. Its wide bandwidth ensures that the quality of the transmitted signal remains consistent, preventing degradation even over longer distances. Additionally, the device features a low noise and distortion rate, which is vital for professional video applications where clarity is paramount.

Another impressive aspect of the VM-5ARII is its simplicity in installation and operation. It is powered by an external power supply and features an intuitive front panel with LED indicators for each output. This design facilitates easy monitoring of the device's operational status, making troubleshooting a more straightforward process when necessary.

The VM-5ARII utilizes advanced technologies to enhance performance, including automatic gain control that adjusts the output levels for optimal signal consistency. This feature mitigates the variations in signal strength that can occur due to differences in cable lengths or types, ensuring uniform output across all connected devices.

Furthermore, the build quality of the VM-5ARII reflects Kramer Electronics' commitment to durability and reliability. Its compact chassis design makes it suitable for rack mounting, while also allowing for safe transportation if needed.

To sum up, the Kramer Electronics VM-5ARII is an outstanding solution for anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality video distribution amplifier. With its multiple outputs, support for various video formats, advanced signal management features, and ease of use, it is an indispensable tool for creating effective and immersive audiovisual experiences.
