Applications
VRD-1FF
VRD-1FF CATV isolator
• Improves audio/video quality by reducing 60 Hz ground currents
• 2 MHz to 1300 MHz bandwidth spans VHF/FM/UHF/CATV spectrum
• Capacitive based design minimizes broadcast channel interference
• Meets FCC Part 76 Regulations for CATV systems
The Iso•Max VRD-1FF is a high performance capacitive isolator that has
been meticulously designed to break the ground loop that causes hum and
buzz in audio, 60 cycle hum bars in video or introduces frequency dips that
cause channels to drop in digital cable.
Housed in a compact cylinder, this second generation VRD-1FF employs
a unique RF engineered solution that delivers a ruler-flat response from
2 Mhz to over 1300 MHz spanning the VHF/FM/UHF and CATV spectrum.
Gold plated F connectors are carefully machined to ensure true 75 Ω com
-
patibility for optimal signal integrity and minimize reflections or ghosting.
Plug and play easy to use, this passive solution doesn’t require any power.
One simply inserts the VRD-1FF in series with the incoming signal and it qui
-
etly goes to work without degrading the signal. This makes the VRD-1FF a
‘must have’ for the AV technician that is servicing and installing digital cable
as well as conventional CATV or VHF/UHF antenna or MATV systems.
Connectors are nickel plated brass
“F” type with gold plated contacts.
Either connector may be used for input or output.
VRD-1FF with digital cable tv
The Iso•Max VRD-1FF is the perfect
‘trouble-solving partner for digital video
transmission problems. It isolates the
source and destination without introduc
-
ing frequency dips that cause channels to
drop. It works equally well to get rid of au
-
dio hum and buzz with standard cable TV.
Distributing video in large facilities
Distributing video around a large facility
such as an airport, arena, or convention
hall can often lead to quality picture prob
-
lems caused by fluctuating voltage refer
-
ences at various power drops. The VRD-1FF
isolates the local monitor from disruptive
DC currents.
Solving CATV hum bars
When interfacing a distant camera to a
video system, hum in the form of 60 cycle
hum bars will often find their way into the
picture. The Iso•Max VRD-1FF provides a
plug & play solution that eliminates the
problem-causing stray DC currents without
affecting the video quality.
