V-DA-8-16: Video distribution amplifier that can be rack mounted (1 RU) or set on a
desk. A separate power supply is provided with the unit.
Tips for mounting
- Install the video distribution amplifier indoors only.
- To avoid overheating:
- do not expose the unit to direct sunlight
- keep sufficient distance from direct heat sources
- leave enough space (at least 1 RU) in the rack between units for cooling
- Do not install the unit at damp, oily or dusty locations.
- Do not expose the unit to strong vibrations.

Configuration options:
Vicon Part Number 8009-8170-01-02 Rev 709 5
Connecting and Operating
The V-DA-8-16 can be configured as follows:
2 video inputs with 8 outputs each
4 video inputs with 4 outputs each
8 video inputs with 2 outputs each
1 video input with 16 outputs
Vicon Part Number 8009-8170-01-02 Rev 709 6
Internal Adjustments
The V-DA-8-16 contains two identical circuit card boards that can be configured to pro-
vide different combinations of video inputs and video outputs. This is accomplished by
setting jumpers on the boards, which are located inside the unit.
The factory setting is 4 video inputs and 4 video outputs.
To change the inputs and outputs, you must open the unit and set the jumpers as fol-
lows:
1. Disconnect the unit from power supply.
2. Loosen and remove the allen screws from each end cap using the supplied allen
wrench.
CAUTION: Use care when separating the top and bottom housings to ensure that no
internal wiring is disconnected or damaged.
3. Separate the top and bottom housings.
4. Set the jumpers on both boards as follows:
Note: The boards are connected by a jumper cable to jumpers J100 and J101, which
combines the boards. Disconnecting the cable will create two separate amplifiers.

Troubleshooting
Error Cause
Video outputs are not all
available
(e.g. 1 video input
6 video outputs)
The jumper on the circuit board is set
to duplicated number of video in-
puts/outputs
One or several monitors
have stripes in the picture These distortions are caused by hum
in the picture which is a result of
connecting several monitors to dif-
ferent potentials.
1. Connect all devices to the same
phase
2. Use galvanic transformers be-
tween monitor and mains phase
3. Use an additional optocoupler for
each transmission line
The monitors have no
picture 1. Video signal lines interrupted or
defective; check all coaxial ca-
bles and BNC plugs
2. Power supply to camera
interrupted; check operating
voltage at camera
3. The video distributor is off:
a. Check and/or replace
mains fuse
Should none of the above remedies be successful, please contact your authorized
dealer with a detailed failure description.
Maintenance and care
Before starting to clean the device, disconnect the unit from power supply. Never use
