REV. A
The Extron PA 300 Peaking Amplifier offers an RGB video bandwidth of
350 MHz (-3dB) and is designed for systems requiring long cable runs of
up to 1,000 feet (300 meters), where signal quality is a primary concern.
The PA 300 maintains signal integrity with performance enhancing
features such as variable gain, low and high frequency peaking, and
support for bi-level and HDTV tri-level sync.
Variable gain control compensates for voltage variances, and allows sharp,
bright image reproduction from virtually any signal source. Independent
controls for low frequency and high frequency peaking compensate for
smearing and detail loss, respectively, for superb image reproduction
without regard to cable length or type.
The PA 300 restores the low level sync voltages found on many
computers, as low as 1.8 volts, to normal TTL levels. This sync restoration
prepares the signals to run down long cable runs and offers enhanced
compatibility with a wide range of computers, display devices, and cable
types.
fEaTuRES
n 350 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth – Maintains signal integrity
over very long cable runs without visible resolution loss or smearing
n Drives high resolution signals long distances – Capable of driving
RGB video signals up to 600 feet (185 meters) with Extron MHR or
similar cable, and up to 1,000 feet (300 meters) with Extron RG6 or
similar cable
n Variable gain – Boosts overall signal voltage level to maintain image
brightness and compensate for voltage losses due to cable resistance.
n Separate low frequency and high frequency peaking – Eliminates
low frequency image smearing, improves high frequency detail by
compensating for losses due to cable capacitance
n Restores sync to TTL level – Ensures that the monitor or projector
accurately locks to sync and displays a stable image
n Tri-level sync compatibility – Supports new HDTV sources with tri-
level sync signals
n Internal international power supply
