EZ-VDA2R
Video Distribution Amplifier
TYPICAL APPLICATION
The EZ-VDA2R is a composite video distribution amplifier with two outputs. The input and outputs are all 75 Ωon RCA connectors.
If the outputs are connected to long coaxial cables (typically 100 to 1000 feet) the front-panel gain and equalization trimmers
may be adjusted to restore picture clarity. The wide amplifier bandwidth supports high quality video distribution. The EZ-VDA2R
is used in stores, houses of worship, restaurants, clubs, home component systems, security and commercial A/V systems.
