Ultra Wide Bandwidth HDTV Distribution Amplifier
Model CB003
This product is a professional grade distribution amplifier
for high bandwidth analog signals. Its most popular uses are:
- Splitting component high definition video (Ypbpr) to
3 displays or storage devices.
- Splitting digital audio (SPDIF/AES-EBU) to 7
receivers
- Splitting composite video (RCA) to 7 displays or
storage devices.
- Splitting 2 composite videos and digital audio to 3
displays or storage devices.
- Driving long coax cables for HDTV display in multiple rooms
without signal degradation
The CB003 is the optimal solution for all these applications
because it is built with the best high performance Burr-Brown video
amplifiers. The specs speak for themselves. This unit delivers ultra clean
noise performance and more bandwidth than needed for all high definition video
standards.
All existing analog video formats can be handled by this
amplifier, even future 1080p. Digital audio (coax rca) is also supported.
HD Video & Audio splitting
The CB003 will split component video, but what about audio.
We have the following options for adding audio. You can also see our
FAQ for more information on audio distribution.
- If you just need analog stereo audio and have short cables,
you can use inexpensive Y cables. You can add these to your order with
the option box below.
- If you would like digital audio or composite video also or
have long cables, add our
CB003AA audio distribution amplifier. Click

Why you may need this amplifier
Most video devices that output component video (SD or HD) only
have one set of outputs. However, it is becoming increasingly common that
home theaters have more than one piece of equipment that need the high quality
component video. For example, your cable box or DSS outputs component
video, which you would like to display on your TV and record with your DVD-R or
TIVO. The only way to do this right is with a high bandwidth distribution
amplifier. Other solutions such as "Y" cables or using s-video/cvbs
greatly degrade the signal. The bottom line is you want to
always watch and record the best video available from your component
outputs. If you have fewer output jacks than input jacks, you will need
this amplifier.
Video distribution
CB003 is the ideal amplifier for driving long video cables in
your home. Many vendors claim their products can do this, but very few can
accomplish this without distortion of the video. The most important
amplifier design factors in driving long cables are source impedance matching,
output connector quality, amplifier bandwidth, and amplifier current drive and
slew rate. Our amplifier uses the best components for all these, resulting
in the best signal distribution you can get. If you are interested in
video distribution, please see our
information page for more tips on
optimizing your network for zero distortion.
