GE KTS-250-16 Installation Instructions Manual

KTS-250-16 Video Distribution Amplifier

This unit distributes up to 16 composite video signals to multiple isolated outputs. Its input/output channels are internally
organized into eight pairs (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Input/Output pairs

Each pair can be set to function in one of two modes: 2-input x 4-output, which distributes each video input to four outputs; or 1-input x 8-output, which distributes one video input to eight video outputs (see Figures 2 and 3). All of the unit’s input/output pairs are preset to be in the 2-input x 4-output mode. If you intend to use this product in 2-input x 4­output mode, skip the section on Selecting Modes and proceed to Installation.
