Getting Started
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials
provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.
Product Description
The D VA 3120 is a high quality analog video
distribution amplifier designed primarily for
broadcast and professional applications.
Flexible configurations allow the D VA 3120 to be
used in dual 1 to 4 applications or 1 to 8
applications with independent gain and
equalization adjustment for each channel. The
module is microprocessor controlled and
configuration, gain level and equalization are set
using local controls included on the module. All
settings are stored in internal flash ram. Presence
detection is provided via status LEDs and a front
side alarm LED is also provided.
The D VA 3120 is part of the 3000 series of
MiniModules, which offer high quality, modularity
and flexibility in a very small form factor ideal for
applications where space is at a premium.
The modules can be used either stand alone using
the optional power supply brick, or as part of a
tightly integrated space saving system where up to
10 MiniModules can be mounted utilizing the
optional LYNX R FR 3005/3010 rack housing. This
includes integrated power supply and optional
remote control interfaces.

Functional Diagram
Figure 1 below is the basic functional diagram for
the D VA 3120 MiniModule.
Figure 1- D VA 3120 Functional Diagram
Module Layout
Figure 2 shows the physical layout of the D VA 3120
MiniModule. Video I/O is made through standard
BNC video connectors. Module configuration is set
via a small dip-switch and push buttons located
behind a small access hole in the bottom of the
module. When used in single mode (1x1:8) IN 1 is
used as the input signal.
If the module is being used in a stand alone
application then the optional power supply (R PS
3001 E, R PS 3001 U or R PS 3001-3) is required to
power the module (not shown)
