Description
Robot Research MV25 Multivision Processor 4-Channel BNC CRT Monitor Splitter EIA
The Robot Research MV25 Multivision Processor is a 4-channel quad-split video processor that combines up to four camera inputs into a single composite video output for display on one CRT monitor. Manufactured by Robot Research of San Diego, California, the MV25 accepts four BNC video inputs (labeled Cam 1 through Cam 4) and outputs a single BNC monitor signal, allowing a single display to show all four camera feeds simultaneously in a quad-split layout. It operates to the EIA television standard and is powered by a 12VDC external supply.

Applications
The MV25 Multivision Processor belongs to a category of quad-split video processors widely used in closed-circuit television (CCTV) and security monitoring systems from the late 1980s through the 1990s. These units allowed a single monitor to display feeds from multiple cameras simultaneously, a key requirement in retail, industrial, and institutional surveillance installations before digital video recorders and IP camera systems became common. Robot Research was a well-regarded San Diego-based manufacturer of professional video processing equipment during this era, producing quad processors, time-lapse recorders, and related CCTV gear for the security and broadcast industries. The MV25's BNC connectors and EIA video standard made it compatible with standard analog composite video cameras and CRT monitors of the period. Today, units like this are sought by facilities maintaining legacy analog CCTV infrastructure, collectors of vintage video equipment, and integrators working with period-accurate broadcast or surveillance systems.
This Robot Research MV25 Multivision Processor has been inspected and is in good used condition. The unit powers on — the front-panel green power LED is illuminated, as seen in the photos. The black metal chassis shows some light surface scuffing on the top, consistent with normal shelf or rack use. The BNC connectors on the rear panel appear clean and intact. The rating plate label is fully legible. Includes an AC adapter. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
