VGA-over-UTP
1.0 General
Description
This User’s Manual covers the
Mini-Cat ®
series of high-resolution
PC or HDTV component video transmission system.
The transmission systems are comprised of one Sender unit and one
or more Receiver units. They enable you to split and extend a PC
VGA video or analog Component HDTV signal to 500 feet and
beyond. The Model UV1-SL is
also
capable of extending a Composite
Video & Stereo Audio to 2000 feet.
A unique feature of the system is that in most installations only one
power supply is enough to power the sender and the receiver(s).
All sender units can supply power to all the receivers connected to
them via the Cat5 cable. If the cable is longer than 325 feet or 100 m
then the receiver may require a separate supply. Conversely, in the
case of 1-to-1 setups, the Receiver unit can also supply power to the
Sender (only when the Sender is a single channel).
The characteristics of the Sender units are summarized below:
