1. OVERVIEW 

The 7700ADA7-EQ Equalizing Analog Distribution Amplifier is a general purpose amplifier for distributing 
analog video signals. The 7700ADA7-EQ features one balanced equalized input with seven outputs.  The 
7700ADA7-EQ amplifier has been designed to distribute a wide range of analog video signals. It can also 
distribute other pulses and signals that are less than 2Vp-p. 
 
The 7700ADA7-EQ occupies one card slot and can be housed in the 1RU 7701FR frame which holds up 
to three single or dual slot modules, the 3RU 7800FR frame which has a 15 slot capacity, the portable 
3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity, or a standalone enclosure which holds a single module. 
 

Features: 

  75 Ohm or high impedance input (jumper selectable) 

  High common mode range and common mode rejection ratio (CMMR) 

  Gain control  

  Jumper selectable AC or DC coupling 

  Jumper selectable fast or slow back porch clamp 

  DC level control when clamp is enabled 

  Cable equalizer adjustment range: 0 to 300m of 8281 or 1694A 

  Looping feature with external "T" connector and external termination 

  Consistent input impedance if card power is lost
