Rugged Video Amplifiers & Splitters – MIL-STD Compliant
Metromatics supplies a range of Rugged Video Amplifiers/Splitters systems. Designed for reliable analog video signal distribution in defence, aerospace, and harsh industrial environments. Built to meet MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461 standards. These units are ideal for mission-critical applications. That require high-fidelity video signal conditioning, even in the most demanding conditions.
These systems accept single-ended or triax/composite analog video inputs. Amplify the signals, and split them into multiple independent outputs with unity gain. Designed for flexibility. They support various connector configurations and custom impedance values. Therefore, making them suitable for integration into aircraft, UAVs, ground vehicles, and naval systems.
✅ Key Features
Multiple Signal Inputs & Outputs
Supports multiple single-ended or triax/composite inputs with multiple unity gain buffered outputs per channel.Wide Signal Range & Overload Protection
Accepts input amplitudes from 0.5V to 5.0V peak-to-peak, with protection for overloads up to 10V peak-to-peak.Unity Gain Performance
Maintains signal integrity with low noise and harmonic distortion across all outputs.MIL-STD Qualified
Tested to MIL-STD-810G (environmental) and MIL-STD-461 (EMI) for reliable operation in harsh conditions.Flexible Mechanical Configuration
Available in rackmount or custom enclosures with BNC or TNC connectors, top or side mount, capped or uncapped.User Adjustable Gain (Optional)
Certain models support adjustable gain per output for application-specific signal levels.
