MDA 3SVA	1x3 S-Video with Stereo Audio	60-444-20	Retired

This product has been retired.

The Extron MDA 3SVA is a compact, one input, three output S-video with stereo audio distribution amplifier. It accepts S-video on one female 4-pin mini-DIN connector and balanced/unbalanced audio on captive screw connectors, and outputs the amplified signal on three female 4-pin mini-DIN connectors and captive screw connectors.

The MDA 3SVA is rack or under-desk mountable and comes with an external international power supply. Its small size makes it the ideal solution for easy integration into both new and existing AV systems including boardrooms, training facilities, home theater, command and control centers, and rental and staging environments.
