GT4124 Video Multiplier
with Strobed DC Restore
DATA SHEET
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• broadcast quality video multiplier with a very accurate
back porch clamp, (less than 2mV DC offset)
• 30 MHz at -1.0dB video and control channel bandwidth
• one external frequency compensation adjustment
The GT4124 multiplier is a monolithic dual-channel video
multiplier for use in the professional broadcast field. It
incorporates a very fast and accurate strobed clamp to
insure black level accuracy.
• ultra low differential gain and differential phase,
Featuring two wideband video inputs and a single control
input, the GT4124 achieves high quality video mixing of
the two synchronized video input signals to a single output
by implementing the transfer function:
(typically 0.01% and 0.01 deg.)
• adjustable DC offset and span on the control input
• adjustable clamp reference level
• active low STROBE input

• Production switcher video mixers
The GT4124 operates with power supply voltages of ± 9 to
±12 volts. At a nominal supply of ± 10 volts, it draws an
average of 20 mA of current. The GT4124 is available in
20 pin PDIP and 20 pin SOIC packages.
• Linear Keyers
