The Videotek VDA-18F is a video distribution amplifier module engineered for integration into the Videotek Omniframe rackmount system. It delivers eight independent video outputs per module, maintaining signal integrity across professional broadcast, production, and post-production environments. Each module incorporates a self-contained power supply, eliminating single points of failure in multi-module configurations.
Technical Specifications
• Eight video outputs per distribution amplifier module
• Self-contained module power supply with AC Bus delivery to all modules
• Module form factor designed for Omniframe integration
• Hinged, removable front panel with module identification label
• Video signal distribution via BNC connectors (typical Videotek standard)
– Key Features
• Full interchangeability with all Videotek modules within the Omniframe tray
• Supports mixed module configurations—any combination of current and future Videotek modules
• Rackmount architecture accommodates up to ten modules per Omniframe mainframe
• Distributed power architecture reduces system-level power supply vulnerabilities
• Maintains signal fidelity in multi-output video distribution chains
– Typical Applications
• Video signal distribution in broadcast facilities
• Multi-output video routing in production control rooms
• Post-production facility signal distribution
• Monitoring and distribution chains requiring eight simultaneous video feeds
– Compatibility & Integration
The VDA-18F integrates directly into the Videotek Omniframe mainframe, a versatile platform supporting up to ten modules in any combination. This modular architecture permits custom system configurations tailored to specific facility requirements without requiring redesign of the host platform. Future Videotek modules maintain full backward and forward compatibility within existing Omniframe installations.
