The Gatton is an innovative product to eliminate ground loop problems associated with the use of unbalanced video coax cables.

Providing total electrical isolation between input and output, the Gatton has many advantages over conventional optical units. The Gatton simply discards opto devices and developed a totally new method of achieving isolation without the temperature problems of opto-couplers and the need to provide AGC to compensate for gain instability.

Another main advantage of this new Gatton technology, is the high bandwidth of 30MHz and the transparent signal path through the device. Field tested in many situations, tests have shown that many hum problems are caused not only by differing ground potentials, but also by induced interference into the unbalanced coax cable. A special keyed clamp circuit may be switched in to eliminate any hum induced into the signal. A comprehensive four band equaliser corrects for cable losses in four adjustable stages for up to 300 metres of input cable. The Gatton has dual 75 ohm BNC outputs and is powered by an external wall mount adaptor.
