Congratulations on purchasing your 104LN, which is ideal for: � Any system requiring a compact distribution amplifier and line driver � Rental and staging applications The package includes the following items: � 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier � Power adapter (12V DC Input) � Mounting bracket � This user manual2 2 Getting Started We recommend that you: � Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment � Review the contents of this user manual � Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables3 2.1 Quick Start This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps. 1 GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Video and Audio Switchers, Matrix Switchers and Controllers; GROUP 3: Video, Audio, VGA/XGA Processors; GROUP 4: Interfaces and Sync Processors; GROUP 5: Twisted Pair Interfaces; GROUP 6: Accessories and Rack Adapters; GROUP 7: Scan Converters and Scalers; and GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors 2 Download up-to-date Kramer user manuals from the Internet at this URL: http://www.kramerelectronics.com 3 The complete list of Kramer cables is on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com

composite and SDI video signals. In particular, the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier: � Accepts a composite video input and provides 4 identical buffered outputs � Includes recessed Gain and EQ. (equalization) trimmer controls, which compensate for signal losses inherent in long cable runs � Has a differential input, which helps to eliminate common mode noise picked up by the input cable, and supports the use of long cables (letting you locate it anywhere in the distribution chain) � Has a bandwidth in excess of 400MHz, ensuring that it remains transparent even in the most critical applications � Is fully DC coupled, ensuring the best linearity and signal flatness To achieve the best performance: � Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise- levels (often associated with low quality cables) � Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your Kramer 104LN away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit. Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall adapter that is provided with this unit1. Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall before installing or removing device or servicing unit. 1 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251

Connecting the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier 6 5 Connecting the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier To connect the 104LN 1:4 Differential Video Line Amplifier, as the example in Figure 5 illustrates, connect the following1: 1. Connect a composite video source (for example, a satellite decoder and receiver) to the INPUT BNC connector. 2. Connect the four OUT BNC connectors to up to four composite video acceptors, as follows: � Connect the OUT 1 connector to video acceptor 1 (for example, a video recorder) � Connect the OUT 2 connector to video acceptor 2 (for example, a video display) � Connect the OUT 3 connector to video acceptor 3 (for example, a video display) � Connect the OUT 4 connector to video acceptor 4 (for example, a video display) 3. Adjust the output signal level and/or cable compensation equalization level, if required. 4. If the image appears noisy, set the INPUT GROUND to either ON or FLOAT to lower the noise level. 1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 104LN. After connecting your 104LN, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device
