The TX-VLA1 is the ideal choice in installations where video signals are being fed into long cables, or where a low video signal needs to be amplified. The unique power supply input allows the TX-VLA1 to be powered from a wide variety of existing ac or dc power sources.

Security or surveillance cameras are frequently located significant distances from monitoring or recording equipment. Cable losses produce a decrease in the overall video level. High frequency attenuation in the cable produces additional loss of higher frequency components of the video signals. These combined losses result in degradation of color signals, and decreased resolution in monochrome images. The TX-VLA1 can be located right at the camera and adjusted to compensate for both losses. GAIN and EQ may be adjusted on the TX-VLA1 to drive video cables as long as 2000 feet (600 meters).

The TX-VLA1 is supplied with a chart showing recommended beginning settings of GAIN and EQ for various lengths of cable. The settings may then be further fine tuned for an optimum, high-quality video transmission.

TX SERIES

TX Series modules are application-specific modules for the A/V and related industries. Many TX modules offer galvanic transformer isolation. Module functions include signal detection, switching, amplification, format conversion, line driving, mixing, distribution, twisted-pair sending/receiving and more. Each TX is a compact module engineered to provide higher performance and longer life than other industry products. TX modules are solid encapsulated hybrid circuits in durable industrial black plastic/steel or aluminum enclosures with clear bold white lettering for the jacks, terminal block connections, trimming controls and switches.

TX modules are constructed in two widths and heights. All TXs are the same length, have the same mounting hole configuration, and are compatible with all TX series mounting options. A complete range of mounting options is available for systems utilizing multiple TX modules. A single TX module may be mounted right where its function is needed, and are widely used in system designs with OEM or other RDL products. TX SERIES modules are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
