The BVAM5 and BVAM7 Video Signal Amplifiers can play a critical role in your mobile video system. With the wide range of DVD players, video games and monitors available, users often find that the video signal level is not well matched to their chosen monitor. [. . . ] With the wide range of DVD players, video games and monitors available, users often find that the video signal level is not well matched to their chosen monitor. This frequently occurs in systems where more than one monitor is present. In such multi-monitor systems, the video signal from your DVD player (or other video source) must be split and routed to the monitors, resulting in a drop in signal strength to all the monitors affected. Typically, a monitor receiving a video signal whose strength is inadequate will display an image too dark or unclear for satisfactory viewing. By installing a multi-channel video signal amplifier like the BVAM5 or BVAM7, you can independently amplify the signal being sent to each monitor. Each channel has its own output level control, so the signal level can be custom-catered to the particular requirements of each monitor. This can be critical when there are different brands and sizes of monitors in the same system. The function and performance of the BVAM5 and BVAM7 are identical, except that the BVAM5 deliver four separate video outputs and the BVAM7 delivers seven outputs. Safety precautions · Do not operate any mobile video equipment while driving ­ safe driving should always be your highest priority. Turn on the video monitor whose video input signal you wish to amplify. Turn on your DVD player (or other video source), and play a familiar video program. At the MINIMUM setting, your monitor image is probably dark and unsatisfactory to view. Now slowly increase the output gain level for that monitor, until the picture is clear and bright. Continue to increase the gain level until you begin to see lines or other undesirable characteristics in the picture. Finally, reduce the gain level back to the point where you feel the picture is best from the standpoint of color, brightness, and freedom from defects. Repeat this process with the other monitors in your mobile video system.
