Active Video Splitter
An active video splitter (also called a loop-through adapter, part #DVSRSP8) is
available for use in conjunction with the LDVR-3U. With the use of BNC cables,
this device can be used to simultaneously send analog signals from cameras to
monitors, VCRs, and up to two LDVR-3Us.
8-channel digital video capture boards
For LDVR-3U configurations using 8-channel video capture boards, video
comes in from the camera into the “In” connector on the active video splitter.
Then video is transferred to the LDVR-3U through the 25-pin connector, located
on the back of the active video splitter. Video is also sent to the monitor or VCR
through the “Out” channel on the active video splitter.
Note: The active video splitter is powered with a +12 VDC (500 mA) power
supply connected to the back of the unit.
