Abstract:
An induced AC power source video amplifier comprising a signal amplifying circuit, a transformer, and a plastic material shell,wherein one end of the transformer is connected to a metal AC line input prong, and another end of the transformer is connected to a rectifier which supplies power to the signal amplifying circuit,the signal amplifying circuit and transformer are wholly fixedly locked on the plastic insulating shell so that the metal AC line input prong projects to the outside of the shell,the shell further has installed thereon an input terminal, an output terminal, and selective switches including an input select switch and a gain select switch, anda line section connected to a wireless input end of the input select switch is wound around an AC line connection between the AC line input prong and the transformer to form a non-contact coil arranged to pick up video signals from the AC line connection when said input select switch is switched to disconnect the antenna/cable input and instead connect the non-contact coil directly to the signal amplifying circuitry, said gain select switch enabling the antenna/cable input terminal to be selectively connected with either a television cable or an outdoor antenna.
