- V-DA-8-16 Video distributor in table desk housing with 2 video inputs and to 8
video outputs, 4 video inputs to each 4 video outputs or 8 video inputs
to each 2 video outputs, incl. power adapter.
The unit can also be integrated into a standard 19" rack (1HU).
General product information
The video distributor guarantees stable transmission quality of branched (distributed)
video signals. The V-DA-8-16 can be used for either 2 sets of video input to 8 video
outputs (jumper setting), or 2 sets of 2 video inputs to 4 video outputs or 4 video input
to 2 video outputs. The frequency response or 20 MHz / -3dB guarantees an optimum
output signal for all options mentioned hereinafter.
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
- Do not install the unit at damp, oily or dusty locations.
- Do not expose the unit to strong vibrations.

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.
