Video Distribution Amplifier – Analog/HD Interface, 16 Video Inputs, 48 Video Outputs

Distribute Video to Multiple Monitoring Locations

The VDAU1648 is designed to distribute video from multiple sources to multiple destinations. With 16 video inputs and 48 video outputs, it provides additional output capacity for systems where numerous monitoring stations or video devices need access to the same sources.

The VERSITRON Universal Video Distribution Amplifier family is designed specifically for applications requiring multiple monitoring locations.

Analog and HD Video Signal Support

The VDAU1648 supports several commonly used CCTV and video formats, including:

• Analog video
• HD-CVI
• HD-TVI
• AHD

This universal video interface allows the VDAU1648 to work with compatible CCTV cameras and other video devices with suitable connections.

Built-In Video Amplification

Distributing one video source to numerous outputs can result in signal loss or picture degradation if the signal is not properly maintained. The VDAU1648 incorporates a built-in amplifier circuit that boosts the video signals to the required level.

This allows the unit to distribute video to its multiple outputs while helping maintain the signal quality required by connected video equipment.

Standard BNC Video Connections

The VDAU1648 uses standard BNC video connections for its video inputs and outputs. The Universal VDA specifications identify a 1 V p-p, 75Ω video input/output interface.

This makes the amplifier straightforward to integrate with compatible CCTV cameras, displays, monitoring equipment, and other video devices.

Connect Video Distribution Systems to Fiber Optic Links

The VDAU1648 can also be incorporated into fiber optic video transmission systems. VERSITRON specifically identifies the Universal VDA Series as permitting easy connectivity to fiber optic video links.

This provides a useful architecture for systems where video is distributed locally and then extended to remote monitoring locations using fiber optic transmission equipment.

16 Video Inputs and 48 Video Outputs

The VDAU1648 is the 48-output model in the VERSITRON Universal VDA family.

All three models support the same basic Universal VDA video formats and connection technology, with the primary difference being the number of available video outputs.

Video Distribution Amplifier Applications

The VDAU1648 is suited for video systems requiring multiple video outputs and monitoring locations, including:

• CCTV video surveillance
• Centralized security monitoring
• Multiple monitoring stations
• Analog and HD CCTV systems
• HD-CVI, HD-TVI, and AHD video systems
• Video distribution systems connected to fiber optic links
• Control rooms and centralized monitoring installations

Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation

The VDAU1648 is designed for flexible installation and can be used as a standalone video distribution amplifier or mounted in a 19-inch rack. The 2U enclosure provides the physical space required for its 16-input/48-output configuration.

Why Choose the VERSITRON VDAU1648?

The VDAU1648 provides a straightforward solution for distributing 16 video sources to 48 outputs while supporting Analog, HD-CVI, HD-TVI, and AHD video signals.

With built-in signal amplification, standard BNC connections, multiple monitoring capability, and compatibility with fiber optic video links, the VDAU1648 provides the additional output capacity needed for larger CCTV and video monitoring systems.
