Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E.:
  • Remote TV Camera Power
    A while back I received an email from a company with a problem. They needed a security camera installed at some remote location.  The camera was a high quality color camera sending out standard NTSC video through a long 500 foot 50 ohm coax cable.  With some difficulty they got the coax strung.  They were told that there would be AC power near the camera location to power that device.  But, they then learned that in fact, there was no power available.  They thought about using a solar panel and a battery but they decided to call me for help instead.  Was there some way to power the camera without stringing another cable?...[Designed by David A. Johnson]
  • VIDEO SIGNAL EDGE ENHANCEMENTS
    I designed this circuit many years ago, based on the claims that the technique would improve the quality of standard TV images. The circuit adds information to the edges of the objects and was reported to bring out more detail. After building and testing the circuit, I could definitely see a difference between it and a regular TV display but I don’t think most people would go to the trouble of installing the circuit for only a marginal improvement. Still, it is an interesting circuit with which someone might experiment.
