DESCRIPTION
Composite Video Models
Extron VersaTools™ is a new line of compact, versatile solution
products designed for high-quality performance. VersaTools’ small,
quarter rack width enclosures, flexible mounting options (rack, underdesk, or stand-alone), and adaptable, external international power
supply allow for easy integration into both new and existing A/V
systems including boardrooms, training facilities, home theater,
command and control centers, and rental and staging environments.
The VersaTools line offers twelve affordable models of Mini
Distribution Amplifiers for the distribution of a single source input to
multiple outputs.
Composite models have 435 MHz (-3dB)
bandwidth to maintain signal integrity.
Video input and outputs are on female
BNC connectors.

Balanced/unbalanced stereo audio is
accepted on captive screw connectors.
S-video models have 270 MHz (-3dB)
bandwidth to maintain signal integrity.
Video input and outputs are on female
4-pin mini-DIN connectors.
Balanced/unbalanced stereo audio is
accepted on captive screw connectors.
Audio models are available with either
unbalanced RCA connectors or with
captive screw connectors (balanced/
unbalanced).
Captive screw models have selectable
output gain via DIP switch. This feature
provides unity gain for balanced or
unbalanced audio signals.
