Single channel equilizers from Intersil delivers video images over a distance of 1.67km

Intersil Corporation has introduces a new line of single channel adaptive equalizers. The Intersil "MegaQ" devices are designed to automatically equalize video over the popular Cat 5 cable as well as the more traditional coaxial cable. The MegaQ devices deliver composite video images at max distance 1 mile or 1.67 kilometers. These adaptive equalizers enable cameras or video displays to be placed in remote areas. These devices are suggested for the security market or any application using composite video.

MegaQ equalizer can be added to existing installations. MegaQ does not require any active circuitry at the transmission (or camera) end, so cameras already at remote sites or mounted on buildings or poles do not need to be retrofitted. The ISL59605 compensates for high frequency cable loss up to 60dB at 5MHz, and source amplitude variations up to ±3dB. This device is compatible with NTSC and PAL, color and monochrome, with no hidden caveats. The output can drive 2VP-P into two source-terminated 75Ù loads. The equalizers require a single +5V supply and consume only 500mW.
