[time-nuts] Build my own dist. amp ??

[Jacques Tiete]

Glenn for your info:
Thomson Grass Valley uses AD8055 amps in their recent analog  
distribution amps, 1 loop-thru and 8 outputs (with 4 x AD8055 and 2  
outputs per ic @ 75 ohm), modifying to 50 ohm seems to be  
straightforward.
These cards are not yet out of production, they are still being used  
for all kind of "glue" applications, eg. sync, de-embed_do something  
like add audio_re-embed, etc. and this in, for the rest, full digital  
installs SD or HD.
The circuit does not seem to be complicated, didn't look at the  
schematics yet but the power-supply seems to be well filtered.
Model nrs. are 8901, 8902, etc, the board is not that expensive but  
they need to be put in a "Gecko" frame = means very expensive... BTW:  
all Pro Broadcast equipment is made of pure gold you know ;-))
I'll try to test this card with some decent 5 or 10 Mhz signal (I'm  
still waiting for my T-Bolt from TAPR...).
