CHAPTER 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The VGA Extender (AC555A
-R2
) enables you to transmit VGA signals up to 500 feet
(152.4 m) away with resolution up to 1024 x 768. Common mode noise
suppression circuits provide superb VGA quality via CAT5, 5e, or 6 unshielded
twisted-pair cables.
The extender consists of a local unit and a remote unit. The local unit duplicates
the input signal for local use and transmits the VGA signal to the remote unit.
When the remote unit receives the VGA signal via a CAT5 RJ-45 connector, it
broadcasts the signal to two VGA outputs. A convenient Equalization (gain)
selector switch on the remote unit gives you optimum signal clarity, depending on
the length of the CAT5, 5e, or 6 cable.
You can also order the local and remote units separately:
• Transmitter Only (Local Unit), part number AC555A-4
-R2
• Receiver Only (Remote Unit), part number AC555A-REM
-R2
The VGA Extender with Audio (AC556A
-R2
) has all the functions of the AC555A
-R2
plus
it includes an audio signal.
Both extender pairs are ideal for public broadcasting, exhibits, retail stores,
courtrooms, stock tickers, bus stations, and many other applications.
2.2 Components
