The MAX7481/MAX7482 bidirectional video filters/ buffers provide the reconstruction filter and line drive buffer for both composite (CVBS) and S-Video (Y/C) video signals in playback mode, and anti-aliasing in record mode for portable media devices. Each channel consists of a lowpass filter and an output buffer capable of driving a full 2VP-P video signal into one standard 150 load (DC-coupled to ground). In record mode, the MAX7481/MAX7482 output buffers have a gain of +6dB. In playback mode, the MAX7481 output buffers have a gain of +6dB and the MAX7482 output buffers have a gain of +7dB.
