Active or passive baluns

Recommended Posts

Hi ,

 

I just post a topic concerning a problem with CCTV video signal that was too low to split signal at the end.

 

http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=31374

 

I was using passive baluns. (GE-BLNSTPT2)

 

Can I use active baluns but powered at one end only ? (not the camera side)

Also , what about impedance (75 ohms). After using the baluns , signal is splitted to a DVR and a monitor.

 

Do I need to put any type of termination ?

 

Thanks...

Yes.

Shouldn't matter - a two-way split will cause a minor loss of quality, but it shouldn't be substantial.

 

Do I need to put any type of termination ?
No.

Tks for the reply.

 

Any suggestion of the active baluns that I can use (powered on one side only) ?

 

Anything compatible with the baluns that I have , GE-BLNSTPT2 ? Do I need to change them on both sides ?
