The Extron MDA 5V is one input, five output composite video Mini Distribution Amplifier. It accepts composite video on one female BNC connector and outputs the amplified signal on five female BNC connectors up to 150 feet (45 meters).
Part of the VersaTools¢ç line of affordable, compact products, The MDA 5V is rack or under-desk mountable and comes with an external international power supply. Its small size makes it the ideal solution for easy integration into both new and existing A/V systems including boardrooms, training facilities, home theater, command and control centers, and rental and staging environments.
