3 Overview The VM-100YC is a high quality 1:10 s-Video Distribution Amplifier for s-Video (Y/C) signals. It accepts one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and distributes the signal to 10 identical outputs using 4-pin connectors. The looping connector can be used to connect to a local display or other Y/C acceptor, or to create larger systems (for example, connecting three VM-100YC units to make a 1:30 s-Video Distribution Amplifier).
