DESCRIPTION
The IN3212, IN3214 and IN3218 are high performance video distribution amplifiers with gain and
peaking controls.
•
The IN3212 is a 1 in 2 out composite video distribution amplifier / line driver.
•
The IN3214 is a 1 in 4 out video distribution amplifier / line driver.
•
The IN3218 is a 1 in 8 out video distribution amplifier / line driver.
All three models are very similar in function, features, and operation with only a few differences as
detailed in the chart below:

Gain Controls 1 2 4
Sharpness Controls 1 2 4
These units feature a compact design, which allows them to be installed in a very small space, and offer
300 MHz bandwidth performance. The gain and peaking controls can be adjusted to compensate for
signal loss due to long cable runs, and may be used to drive a signal as far as 1000 feet, depending on the
signal resolution and cable. Multiple units can also be looped together to provide additional outputs.
PRODUCT FEATURES
•
2, 4 or 8 Outputs – Feed the signal from one video source to two, four or eight monitors, projectors,
VCRs, or other output devices.
•
Gain Controls – Boost the signal voltage to drive long cable runs.
•
Peaking Controls – Enhance image by increasing clarity and visibility of fine details.
•
300 MHz Video Bandwidth
•
BNC input and output connectors
•
Wide Compatibility – Compatible with composite video signals (NTSC / PAL / SECAM) and high
resolution monochrome video signals.
•
Split Mode Operation – By changing an internal jumper, the IN3214 or IN3218 can be set for split
mode where they function as two independent Distribution Amplifiers:
-
IN3214: (2) 1x2 Distribution Amplifiers
- IN3218: (2) 1x4 Distribution Amplifiers
•
Loop Output – The loop output connector provides a passive loop-through signal. This can be
looped through to additional amplifiers to create a larger DA system or to drive a local monitor.
•
Metal case enclosure and optional mounting brackets
