The TEA5114 from Thomson-SCF is a 16 pin and contains three 75 ohm switches. To send video down a long cable you can try one of the MAX transconductance video driver amp/receiver pairs. I've done this to a neighbour's house 100m away down an unused pair in a LAN cable using a MAX435 tx and MAX436 rx. The video gets there OK, and the balanced signal of the MAX435 eliminates much noise. Over that distance though you may need additional filtering if the synch pulses get mixed up with hum and cause an unsteady picture. 1000m is quite a distance, perhaps you could get advice from a TV station techie A project using the TEA5114 http://www.ozemail.com.au/~tecknolt/ATV/JOTA.htm > Hmm..does anyone know of a video switching chip ? preferably eight > pin... > If l wanted to send a video signal down say 1km of wire would that work > or would l need some type of drivers/recievers ?
