VIDEO TESTER - A new, unique, patented, indispensable tool for the video professional,
the Video Tester is used to test a video path leading to/from an amplifier. By pressing only one
touch switch it can trace missing signals, distinguish between good and jittery (VCR sourced)
signals, and identify the presence of good signals. Whenever a video signal is missing, because
of bad connections, cable breaks or faulty sources, the Video Tester is all you need.
