2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer 810B away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

4 Connecting and Adjusting the 810B
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
810B. After connecting your 810B, connect its power and then switch
on the power to each device.
To connect the 810B as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:
1. Connect the composite video BNC OUT 1 connector to the composite
acceptor (for example, a non-linear editor).
2. Connect the composite video BNC OUT 2 connector to the composite
acceptor (for example, a genlockable camera).
3. Connect the s-Video (Y/C) 4-pin Y/C OUT connector to the s-Video (Y/C)
acceptor (for example, an AV diagnostic switcher).
4. Connect the 3-wire cable to the detachable terminal block 1kHz OUT
connector and to the audio input of the destination unit (for example, the AV
diagnostic switcher).
5. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).
