MT115-111

Dual Twisted Pair Receiver to 
Computer/Component Video+ Audio, 

The 

MT115-111

provides a means of receiving 

computer or component video and audio signals 
over Twisted Pair-type (CAT-5) cable when used 
together with an ALTINEX Twisted Pair Video 
Transmitter, such as the 

MT115-110

or 

TP115-110

.

The 

MT115-111

offers two 15-pin HD female 

outputs and two 3.5 mm audio outputs, one for
each of the inputs. The RJ-45 inputs receive the 
differential video and audio signals generated by 
the Twisted Pair transmitter. The 

MT115-111

also 

offers video equalization for long cable lengths. The 
equalization adjustment may be set for either 
hardware or software (RS-232) control.

Additionally, the 

MT115-111

offers the option for 

video gain adjustments through RS-232 control or 
the gain may be set to a value of one for hardware 
control.

As an added feature, the 

MT115-111

offers the 

option of selecting a Sync-on-Green (SOG) output. 
The SOG feature is a simple switch setting that 
may be set for SOG or standard RGBHV.

The latest generation of Twisted Pair devices uses 
an innovative, patented technology* developed by 
ALTINEX. The new signal processing technology 
allows transmitting and receiving fully equalized 
computer video signals, stereo, and audio signals 
over long distances.
