Kramer VM-50V 1:5 Composite Video Distribution Amplifier

The Kramer VM-50V is a high-performance 1:5 video distribution amplifier designed to split and stabilize a single composite video or SDI feed for delivery to multiple destinations. It takes one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and distributes the signal to five identical outputs, which is ideal for feeding multiple monitors, recorders, switchers, or routing points without loading down the source.

This distribution amplifier may show signs of heavy wear but is in good working condition.

Signal Handling for Composite and SDI Workflows

Built for dependable analog video distribution, the VM-50V supports standard 1Vpp/75Ω composite/SDI video on BNC connectors. A loop-through input with a 75Ω termination switch makes it easy to integrate into existing signal chains and helps maintain proper impedance matching for clean, consistent video across all outputs.
