A product family of video equalizers that extends video transmission distance by 5 times and is easy to install

– Intersil, a global leader in the design and production of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, has introduced the industry's most innovative and versatile single-channel adaptive equalizer for transmitting composite video over cables. The Intersil 'MegaQ' device is designed to automatically equalize video transmitted over both commonly used and inexpensive CAT 5 cables, as well as more traditional coaxial cables. The MegaQ device delivers superior composite video over distances of up to 1.67 km, which is more than five times the currently possible range.

These industry-leading adaptive equalizers allow cameras or video displays to be positioned remotely, eliminating the need for repeaters and distribution hubs, making them ideal for the security market or any application using composite video. In addition to this outstanding performance, the MegaQ product family requires no user intervention or adjustment to achieve peak performance, so video quality no longer depends on the installer.

Since the adaptive equalizer operates at the receiving end of the signal chain where the video is displayed, the MegaQ equalizer can be easily added to existing facilities to immediately improve video quality. MegaQ [operates] at any transmission (or camera) end
