1.1 

Purpose and Function 

VT50 Series Video/Audio Transmitters are developed and manufactured by Advanced 
Microwave Products (AMP) and distributed by Dyplex Communications (Dyplex).   
 
Transmitters are designed for color or monochrome video and audio surveillance.  
Transmitters are best operated with AMP’s VR75 Series Video Receivers but are 
compatible with most other video receivers on the market. 
 
1.2 Capabilities 
AMP Transmitters are designed for harsh environments and feature robust packaging and 
connectors.  Compact package sizes provide versatility in unit placement and system 
applications. 
 
AMP Transmitters require no tuning or adjustments.  All units operate directly with any 
standard video camera.  Power requirements are +9 to +16 Vdc and can be derived from 
batteries, simple power supplies, or vehicle power. 
 
Whip or “rubber duck” antennas are adequate for most transmitter applications.  A 
variety of standard and high performance antennas are available through Dyplex. 
 
AMP Transmitters and Receivers are standard equipped with video inversion, selectable 
via a slide switch, for a basic level of security. 
 
VT50 Series Transmitters are available with many options allowing customization to 
specific applications.  Most common options include frequency selection (full band 
selection), high RF output power, selectable output power (2 W / 5 W for L/S/C-bands, 2 
W / 5 W / 10 W for UHF), PAL video, and up to two audio subcarriers with up to 100 
kHz bandwidth. 
 
If our standard products and options do not satisfy your requirements, please contact us.  
Our experienced design team welcomes your custom specifications.
