Recomendation for a Video Distribution Amplifier

[gafftaper]

I've installed a night vision camera in my theater so that we can see what's going on during blackouts in the booth. LOVE IT! Now I want to split the signal and send a duplicate copy to a second monitor at the stage manager's panel 100+ feet away. So, I need a 1-BNC in to 2-BNC out splitter/amplifier. I have a decent budget so I don't want to get the cheapest thing on the market and hate the quality later, but at the same time I don't need the best product available either.

I don't know a lot about video gear and about the only brand I know is Extron, which seems to only make products which do a LOT more than what I need. Recommendations for products which are reliable and sensibly priced?

Thanks!

I've seen the Extron MDA3V (http://www.extron.com/product/product.aspx?id=498) used in this application, but I believe that's now a retired product, but one of the other options listed in that category on that page might work, maybe the MDA 3AV?

Yeah I was looking at that one but it doesn't seem to be available. The MDA 4VEQ has everything I need plus nice EQ functions but I'm not seeing it listed as for sale anywhere except for $100 used on Ebay, which tells me it's probably retired or close to it and definitely difficult to find.

Thus I posted this looking for other simple alternatives.

Kramer also generally make good stuff.
Perhaps the 103AV, which shows as being carried by Full Compass?

CCTV stuff brinks on that weird realm of Security. I would go with something like

Viewtron is decent hardware that doesn't break the bank and still had decent specs.
