Description of Operation
1. Explanation of Video Section
The video section comprises of 16 high impedance inputs switched through to 7 video outputs. A +6dB internal
amplifier is connected to each output. The amplifier is required to compensate for the 6dB attenuation which
occurs at the external emitter follower stage used for driving video loads. All video outputs have an integrated
100Ω series protection resistor. The typical external configuration is shown in Fig. 1-1.

Switching the Video Outputs Off
Each video output can be individually turned off using the I2C. When turned off, the output dc voltage is
approximately 0V and hence the current consumption of the external emitter followers is reduced.
