Introduction

The XTENDEX Series VOPEX-C5SVA-x Cat5 Video/Audio Splitter/Extender is designed to enable one
S-Video/Audio source to be viewed and heard in 4, 8, or 16 different remote locations. Remote monitors and
stereo speakers can be located as much as 600 feet away from the source via Category 5 unshielded twisted-
pair cable. The VOPEX-C5SVA-x also allows a local monitor and self-powered stereo speakers to be located
near the source.

Optional

-  VOPEX-C5SV-x  S-Video Only Splitter/Extender  (No Audio Support)

Note:  If the audio support is not present, please disregard all audio references.

The XTENDEX Series VOPEX-C5SVA-x S-Video/Audio Splitter/Extender is extremely simple to install and has
been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.  Through the use of Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair
cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system.    Here are some of the features
and ways this can benefit any workplace:

  Allows the placement of monitors and self-powered stereo speakers in different remote locations

           where only these parts are needed.

  Provides an additional local access port allowing the A/V source to viewed and heard locally.

  Compatible with all video sources supporting s-video.

  Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 800x600 @ 60Hz at 600 ft.

  Video quality adjustment is automatic for varying lengths of CAT5 cable

  'Video Adjustment' button allows video quality to be re-adjusted without powering down the system.

         (Button on VOPEX-C5SVA only- video quality adjustment is performed at Receiver for VOPEX-C5SV.)

  Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality.

  Audio frequency response is 20Hz to 20kHz, +/- 1dB.

  Compatible with all NTI A/V switches and splitters supporting s-video, enabling the joining of

            products to create a system that satisfies all networking needs.
