Operators Safety Summary

The general safety information in this summary is for operating
personnel.

Do Not Remove Covers or Panels There are no user-serviceable
parts within the unit. Removal of the top cover will expose
dangerous voltages. To avoid personal injury, do not remove the
top cover. Do not operate the unit without the cover installed.
Power Source This product is intended to operate from a power
source that will not apply more than 230 volts rms between the
supply conductors or between both supply conductor and ground.
A protective ground connection by way of grounding conductor in
the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Grounding the Product This product is grounded through the
grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electrical shock,
plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before
connecting to the product input or output terminals. A protective­ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power
cord is essential for safe operation.
Use the Proper Power Cord Use only the power cord and
connector specified for your product. Use only a power cord that is
in good condition. Refer cord and connector changes to qualified
service personnel.
Use the Proper Fuse To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse having
identical type, voltage rating, and current rating characteristics.
Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres To avoid explosion,
do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.

Graph A shows the response curves of a 150 foot section of West Penn
8255 mini-coax cable with and without the RGB-4/6 being driven by a
full .7V signal. Notice that by itself, the cable’s -3dB bandwidth is only
17 MHz, but when used with the RGB-4/6, the bandwidth is restored to
180 MHz at the end of the150 foot cable.

INTRODUCTION

The all new RGB - 4 and 6 are ultra high resolution, ultra high bandwidth 1 x
4 and 1 x 6 video distribution amplifiers suitable for applications requiring the
highest possible video quality. The first two output channels on each unit
have independent cable equalization permiting long cable runs while
maintaining excellent signal integrity for even the highest video resolutions.

Not only do these two units have over 400 MHz of band-width but they also
have the unique FSR advanced sychronizing circuitry to ensure a rock stable
video image at any resolution and signal level.

Equalized Video Output

Number/Type: 2 (each independent of the other) RGBHV, RGBS,

RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or 3 CV
Connectors: 2 by 5 female BNC
Bandwidth: This performance data is based on the CDA-2EQA plus

the specified length of WP8255 (West Penn) cable with

a full amplitude (0.7V p-p) signal applied.

50' cable 325 MHz (-3dB) 0-261 MHz +/-0.75dB
100' cable 245 MHz (-3dB) 0-200 MHz +/-0.75dB
150' cable 180 MHz (-3dB) 0-133 MHz +/-0.75dB

This performance data is based on the CDA-2EQA plus

the specified length of WP8255 (West Penn) cable with

a small amplitude (0.2V p-p) signal applied.

50' cable 360 MHz (-3dB) 0-300 MHz +/-0.75dB
100' cable 335 MHz (-3dB) 0-285 MHz +/-0.75dB
150' cable 316 MHz (-3dB) 0-262 MHz +/-0.75dB

Level (nominal): Unity / User adjustable via potientiometer
Impedance: 75 ohms
Design Cable: West Penn WP8255 or equal

Video Output

Number/type: 2 (RGB-4), 4 (RGB-6), RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs,

component video, S-video, or 3 CV
Connectors: All female BNC
Bandwidth: 400 MHz @ -3 dB (minimum) fully loaded with a 0.7V

p-p input signal
Flatness: +/-0.5 to 300 MHz (typical) fully loaded with a 0.7V p-p

input signal
Gain: Unity (buffered)
Impedance: 75 Ohms
Differential Gain 0.04%
Differential Phase 0.15 degrees

The first two outputs are independently equalized to maintain excellent signal
integrity for all video resolutions. Cable runs of up to 175 feet are possible
with 180 MHz of full amplitude bandwidth and +/- 0.75 dB flatness to 130 Mhz.
A 0.2V p-p input signal yields 316 MHz of bandwidth and +/- 0.5 dB flatness to
250 MHz. This means that the signal you feed into the RGB-4 or RGB-6 will
arrive at the far end of the cable with an almost immeasurable amount of loss
and no distortion due to peaking effects.

Even using standard 75 ohm BNC connectors the RGB-4 and 6 are housed in
a 1RU metal enclosure freeing up valuable rack space.

FSR also manufactures many other signal handling prod-ucts
that make any video installation quick and professional.

INST ALLATION and OPERA TION

Do not connect the power line cord until all the video connec­tions are completed.

Mount the unit in the equipment rack.

Connect alll the video cables per the diagram.

Connect the power cord.

Adjust the cable equalization, available on the first two output
channels, with the variable control (one for each of the two output
channels) for minimum distortion using an appropriate test signal
or full motion video.

Perform the final operational check.
