Overview
The UDA-8705A is an analog general-purpose distribution amplifier. It is very useful in digital systems
when there is a requirement for the distribution of a few analog signals, such as a color black reference.
The UDA-8705A is a general-purpose amplifier for use in the distribution of analog SD-video, Tri-
level sync or AES3id audio. It is intended for use in situations where cable equalization and differential
input are not needed, and clamping is not required. Gain is adjustable over a wide range of
±3dB.
This amplifier is DC-coupled and will faithfully provide all aspects of a video input signal to eight
identical output copies with very low distortion. The use of new generation integrated circuits and
innovative engineering has resulted in excellent performance combined with economy.
The UDA-8705A is designed for use in the openGear DFR-8300 series frames.
