- protects display

Here's how noise gets in to a Hi-fi or Home Cinema System

a. Mains arrives in a house already carrying lots of electronic interference
b. Household dimmers, fridges and appliance add local noise
c. Wi-fi routers, Bluetooth, baby alarms and more add radiated noise
e. Power Amplifiers and AV receivers inject their power supply noise into the mains

SO Incoming power can carry very large amounts of noise.

Talking Video

Depending on the video display, noise can affect the black-levels, actual picture noise levels, contrast, movement and more.

1080p HD signals suffer the most, but even SD signals can be improved Generally the larger the display, the better the visible results.

Often these negative effects are not really noticed until they are removed and removing them can be a revelation.

The first Video products from British high-end specialist ISOL-8 Designer Nic Poulson has a background designing industrial and Mil-spec power supplies and with his companies Isotek and now at a higher quality level with ISOL-8, has almost single-handedly defined the UK market for high-end power conditioning. This is his first Video product.

ISOL-8 VMC1080 Video Mains Conditioner £189.00 inc VAT.

A pure video product - designed and made in the UK The ISOL-8 VMC1080 is designed to provide a clean, stable and noise-free mains supply to any video display, to improve picture quality and protect against damaging voltage spikes.

Built specifically for video performance

- filters frequencies that affect HD and SD video signals
- filters the noise that display power supplies generate
- prevents display power noise affecting other system components

By designing from the ground up specifically for video displays it is possible to offer very high performance in a small package.

Using a combination of differential, and unusually, series mode filtration, the VMC1080 provides massive noise reduction. It is compact, unobtrusive and affordable.

Results vary system by system, but we and users have always found picture improvements, often marked ones.

Performance Improvements

- reduced motion artefacts
- improved contrast
- more vivid colours
- better image depth
- a sharper, more focused and less grainy picture.

The VMC1080 allows Plasma, LCD and CRT televisions as well as high quality projectors to reach their true performance potential.

Display Protection

Additionally, the VMC protects the video display and the owner's investment, against damage from high voltage spikes from line-faults, lightning strikes etc

Compact design - Invisible Install

The ISOL-8 VMC1080 is designed to be used close to the video display that it is powering, its small size allows it to be secured to the mounting bracket for the display, the back of display itself or to the wall.

A mounting kit is included and an IEC output lead which is suitable for most situations.
