You Need The RU-VA2!

The RU-VA2 is part of the group of RACK-UP products from Radio Design Labs. RACK-UPs
feature the advanced circuitry for which RDL products are known, combined with accessible
user-friendly controls and displays. The ultra-compact design permits high-density installations,
with three products mounted in a single rack unit! Single RACK-UPs can be mounted right where
they are needed using the adhesive mounting method popularized by RDL’s STICK-ON® series
of products. Optional brackets permit mounting a RACK-UP module above, below or in front of
any flat surface!

APPLICATION: The RU-VA2 is the optimum choice where connectorized, rack-mounted video
attenuation is needed. This unit features two separate, passive isolated channels. A single input
jack is provided for each attenuator. The output jack is intended to be connected to a 75 Ohm
terminated load. A front-panel knob is provided to adjust hot video levels down to the normal
1-volt p-p signal level. A single attenuator is capable of adjusting down the video level to half the
incoming signal level.

In situations where excessive video levels may cause input overload artifacts, the RU-VA2 is
easily inserted into the circuit and adjusted for proper video levels. With the high density (1/3 rack
width) of the RACK-UP series, an RU-VA2 can be conveniently added to a rack so it is available
when needed.

The RU-VA2 is the ideal companion to RDL’s RU-VDA4 Video Distribution Amplifier in video
facilities where excessive video levels may be encountered. In any facility where high video levels
might occur, the RU-VA2 is the ideal choice. Use the RU-VA2 with other RDL RACK-UP,
STICK-ON®, TX™, or FLAT-PAK™ series products as part of a complete audio/video system.
