Introduction

Included in this package:

• One KD-ADA4 HD View4

• One external power supply

• One 75 Ohm terminator

• One Operating Manual with Warranty statement

The KD-ADA4 HD View4 is a very versatile and novel Distribution Amplifier
(DA) that will suit your needs for crystal-clear distribution of HDTV and SDTV
Component Video (YPrPb) or Composite Video (CV) sources to Component
Video "HDTV-ready" monitors, or Composite Video monitors. Signal process­ing circuitry permits excessive distribution cable runs of up to 1000 feet, with
simple front-panel adjustments. And you can drive four component or compos­ite monitors simultaneously. Each unit handles Left and Right stereo audio, or
digital PCM audio.

HD View4 provides so much flexibility, yet will not degrade the image quality
of your input signals. Each unit can be cascaded to other KD-ADA4, KD-DA6,
or KD-CDA12 DA’s by Key Digital Systems, to drive as many outputs as
desired from one source. HD View4 has an added feature (via internal DIP­switch control) whereby you can distribute only Composite Video (CV) or digi­tal PCM audio inputs to as many as 24 destinations.

Manual for HD View4

Product Overview

Why do you need a Distribution Amplifier?

For installations where you need to distribute your HD and SD video and analog or dig­ital audio to more than one destination, you need a high-quality Distribution Amplifier
(DA). Perhaps you have a configuration where you need to distribute an HDTV Set
Top Box output to several different display monitors. You’ll want to feel confident that
the DA introduces little or no degradation to your signals.

Our DA’s produce crystal-clear images which do not harm your input signals, can drive
long cables (typically up to 300 feet, and our ADA4 which can drive up to 1000 feet),
and can be cascaded to accommodate future expansion requirements. Let us help you
choose exactly the right DA for your specific installation application.
