CAT5 MULTI VIDEO SYSTEM.
2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
The CAT5 Multi Video System extends VGA or Component video signals as well as
stereo audio and RS232 signals over ordinary Category 5 cable. All models support
RGBHV, RGB, VGA, and component video, and they use a transmitter-to-receiver
setup. They can be used as video splitters as well as video extenders.
This manual covers CAT5 Multi Video System Transmitter/Receivers (AC1060 -
AC1062A, AC1065A-AC1066A).
These models enable you to broadcast line-level mono audio and RS232 serial, along
with video from your computer, to as many as 100 computer monitors up to 500 feet
(152 m) away over CAT5.
CAT5 Multi Video System receivers are available with single or dual daisychainable
connections. The dual daisychainable receiver is used when the same signal is
distributed to multiple display devices across a single CAT5 cable in a daisychain or
loop-through fashion. Setup and cabling are the same as the single-port receiver.
All models support refresh rates/resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz at up to
500 feet (152 m).
WARNING
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet network. Do not connect these devices to any sort
of networking or telecommunications equipment!
