Miniature VGA over CAT5 Extension System

1. Introduction
1.1 Model UV-1 … for VGA
The Model UV1 is a single channel UTP (CAT5) VGA video extender
consisting of a sender (UV1-S) and a receiver (UV1-R) sold together as
a pair. The sender converts a PC's VGA signal into a format that can be
transmitted using a single inexpensive and commonly available
Category-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ45
connectors, which is used in most Local Area Networks.
At the receiving (remote) end the Cat5 signal is converted back to VGA
for connection to your monitor, projector or other display device.
The sender and receiver are each housed in a small plastic enclosure
and include a HD15 video connector and a RJ45 connector for the Cat-
5 cable. Included with the pair of devices are: one small power adapter
(can be powered at either end), and a short adapter cable for easy
connection to the standard HD-15 connector of the PC.
The Mini-Cat® brand extenders can drive CAT5 LAN cables to 500
feet (150 meters) with little to no degradation of video quality.
1.2 Model UV-1-CP … for Component Video (RGB or Y Pb Pr)
This variation of the UV-1 includes cables for each end that allow you
connect the sender to the 3 RCA connectors of DVD-players or other
video sources that output Component Video (RGB or Y Pb Pr, or Y Cb
Cr) and the receiver to connect to compatible displays such as HDTV’s
or high-end monitors. The actual sender and receiver units are identical
to the standard UV-1 and, in fact, you can use the pair to send VGA
video if you substitute VGA cables.
1.3 Model UV-1-CV … for Composite Video and Stereo Audio
This variation of the UV-1 includes cables for each end that allow you
to connect the sender to the composite Video (Yellow), Left Audio
(White) and Right Audio (Red) connectors of your A/V equipment. It
can actually send the signals in excess of 1200 feet (365 meters),
though both ends need to be powered if the distance is beyond 500 ft.
Unlike the UV-CP, the UV-1-CV is not compatible with VGA signals.
