You Need The FP-AVDA4!

The FP-AVDA4 is part of the group of versatile FLAT-PAK products from Radio Design Labs. The
durable adhesives provided with the FP-AVDA4 permit permanent or removable mounting. The unique
FLAT-PAK case can also be directly screwed or bolted to cabinets or shelves. Optionally available rack­mounting accessories permit single or multiple FLAT-PAK module mounting. All FLAT-PAK modules are
supplied with a power interconnect cable for daisy-chaining multiple modules from a single power supply.

APPLICATION: The FP-AVDA4 is the ideal choice in applications where consumer format audio and
video signals need to be distributed simultaneously. Audio and video inputs and outputs are made on the
top panel phono jacks. Power connections are made using either the full-size barrier block terminals or a
dc power jack located in one end panel. A second dc power jack is provided on the other end panel for
connecting additional Flat-Pak modules.

The FP-AVDA4 has a single 75 Ω input phono jack for the video signal and two phono jacks for the left
and right audio inputs. Four source-terminated, 75 Ω video outputs are provided on the video output
phono jacks. Four stereo audio outputs are provided on phono jack pairs located adjacent to the
corresponding video output. Unused outputs need not be terminated. Audio and video outputs are at
unity gain.

The FP-AVDA4’s low profile and compact size permit mounting in confined spaces and in various
locations in equipment racks. The location of the input/output jacks permits high-density mounting
against flat surfaces while maintaining accessibility to the connectors. Installations requiring multiple
distribution amplifiers are ideally designed using FP-AVDA4s affixed to rack sides, or by mounting them
to either the front or rear rack rails using the RDL FP-RRA.

Wherever wide-band video and audio need to be distributed economically with professional quality,
reliability, compactness and unsurpassed versatility, the FP-AVDA4 is the ideal choice.
FP-AVDA4 individually, or combine it with other RDL products as part of a complete audio/video system.
