The ISL59960 is a single-channel adaptive equalizer for 960H

(WD1) or 720H (D1) composite video designed to

automatically compensate for long runs of CAT 5/CAT 6 or

RG-59 cable, producing high quality video output with no user

interaction. The ISL59960 equalizes up to 4000 feet (1200

meters) of CAT 5/CAT 6 cable.

960MegaQ™ compensates for high frequency cable losses of

up to 70dB at 9MHz, as well as source amplitude variations up

to ±3dB.

The ISL59960 operates from a single +5V supply. Inputs are

AC-coupled and internally DC-restored. The output can drive

2VP-P into two source-terminated 75Ω loads (AC-coupled or

DC-coupled).
