A source of analog computer video signals is provided, which source may be a video switch providing a single set of computer video signals from one of a plurality of computers. From the source, the video signals are applied to a transmitter that includes circuitry for developing a pair of balanced video signals from each discrete video signal and applying each signal of the pair of balanced signals to respective conductors of a twisted pair of conductors. At the receiver, each balanced pair of video signals is converted back to a single-ended form. Compensation circuitry is provided for compensating for the length of twisted pair conductors between the transmitters and receivers for each video signal. Horizontal and vertical sync signals are applied via respective buffer amplifiers to another twisted pair of conductors in unbalanced relation.

Extended length differentially driven analog video link

This invention is a constant current, noninverting, voltage amplifier powered by a single polarity of electrical power with respect to a ground potential. In a preferred embodiment, the amplifier consists essentially of a single transistor having a reference voltage applied to a base input thereof and an analog video signal coupled via a resistor to an emitter of the transistor. Also coupled to the emitter is a constant current source, with a collector of the transistor coupled to a monitor.
