terminated. S-Video is standard levels, using a 4-
pin Mini-Din connector for ease of operation. A
complementary differential input amplifier assures
The various
high common mode rejection while its phase-linear
keyer cleanly inserts decoded characters into the
video image. Differential gain and phase are well
within 0.1% and 0.1° respectively.
