AMP’s VRD1 Series 13.5 cubic inch diversity video receivers offer high quality diversity reception with many advanced features including miniature packaging, low power consumption, low noise figure, and video inversion.  All receivers utilize a robust machined aluminum chassis and high quality connectors designed to withstand harsh environments.

VRD1 Series receivers feature a proprietary voting circuit that ensures reception of the strongest signal at all times.  Innovative circuit designs are utilized to reduce power consumption for significantly longer battery life and to reduce noise figure for substantially more range and better video quality.

Receiver carrier frequency may be selected locally with BCD rotary switches, remotely with RS232 interface, and locally/remotely with a programmable binary switch.  A slide switch allows selection between standard (positive) and inverted (negative) video.  Received signal strength is indicated with dual local displays (LCD meter or LED bar) and an output pin on the I/O connector.  VRD1 Series receivers are optionally configured with 5V and/or 12V auxiliary supplies.

If your application requires video and audio or data reception, AMP’s receivers are optionally configured with up to two audio or data subcarriers.  Dual buffered subcarrier outputs are provided for simultaneous monitoring and recording.

VRD1 Series receivers are ideal for UAV, UGV, Military, and other applications requiring high quality diversity video reception in a compact, rugged package.
