Description

The Videotek VDA-16 is a professional 1x6 composite video distribution amplifier designed for broadcast, television production, post-production, and professional AV installations. This listing includes three VDA-16 amplifiers, providing reliable video signal distribution to multiple destinations without noticeable signal degradation. Each unit features one looping composite video input and six isolated 75-ohm BNC outputs, making it ideal for feeding monitors, routers, switchers, recorders, and test equipment simultaneously. Front-panel output level and cable equalization controls allow installers to compensate for long cable runs of up to 400 ft (122 m) using Belden 8281 coaxial cable. The compact standalone design also supports optional rack mounting for integration into broadcast and production racks. Read more

About the Videotek VDA-16 Amplifiers

The Videotek VDA-16 is a broadcast-quality analog composite video distribution amplifier. Designed to take a single baseband video source and cleanly split it into six identical, isolated outputs, it was a foundational staple in legacy television studios, VHS duplication houses, and analog CCTV security networks.

Because analog video naturally suffers from high-frequency roll-off (which softens the image) and voltage drops (which darkens the image) over long runs of coaxial cable, the VDA-16 features recessed front-panel trimmers for Gain and Equalization (EQ). This allows a broadcast engineer to manually boost the video level and sharpen the picture to ensure all six downstream destinations receive a mathematically perfect 1-volt peak-to-peak signal. Its physical footprint is specifically designed to be 1/3-rack width, allowing up to three of these units (or their audio counterpart, the ADA-16) to be mounted side-by-side in a single 1U rack tray.
