device, simultaneously. The VP-72 can be used as a 7 input 1:2 DA for all
distribution applications. In particular, the VP-72:
Includes two 1:2 composite video distribution amplifiers on BNC
connectors, two 1:2 Y/C distribution amplifiers on 4p connectors, two 1:2
VGA distribution amplifiers on HD15 connectors, and one 1:2 YUV
distribution amplifier on BNC connectors
Includes Gain1 and EQ., control, as well as ID Bit control
Has video bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensuring that it remains
transparent in almost any application
Is housed in a 19-inch rack mountable enclosure requiring one vertical
rack space and is fed from any 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz mains supply
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your VP-72 unit in a
location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
