Description

The HPx-256 VME Radar/TV Video Signal Splitter Card is a high-performance VME64 radar TV video signal splitter card engineered to distribute a single radar video input to multiple outputs without loss of signal quality. It is specifically designed for radar system applications where the same radar feed needs to be accessed by multiple displays, recorders, or processing units simultaneously.

The card accepts a standard analogue radar TV video input and provides up to four independent outputs, ensuring each connected system receives a high-fidelity replica of the original signal. Configurable output termination (50 Ω standard) preserves signal integrity and prevents reflections, making it suitable for professional radar environments where precision and reliability are critical.

Its VME form factor allows seamless integration into existing legacy or modern radar systems, supporting both operational radar setups and simulation or training systems. With robust electronics designed for continuous operation, the HPx‑256 ensures consistent performance in maritime, defense, or industrial applications where multiple systems must receive synchronized radar video data.
