CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
With the RGB Video Balun, you can transmit composite baseband red/green/blue
video signals across Category 3 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable,
which is already wired into most commercial sites. Use pairs of Baluns to transmit
RGB video: The Balun near the video source takes the three composite baseband
video signals from 75-ohm coaxial cable, converts them, and transmits them over
UTP cable to the other Balun, which puts them back on coax and sends them to
their destination.
Connect the RGB Video Balun to a site’s structured cabling through a modular
wall jack in the work area. Each Balun has three BNC connectors at one end and
an RJ-45 jack at the other end.
The Video Balun is designed for use with RGB monitors, such as those often
deployed in banks, investment houses, and stock-exchange trading floors.
