Introduction
Overview
The VGA/DVI/HDMI Audio Cat 5 Extender with MK Wall Plate extends
VGA/DVI/HDMI and audio signals up to 150 m (for VE157) / 60 m (for
VE607/VE807) using Cat 5e cables. It supports popular wide screen formats
and ensures excellent video quality over long distance transmissions. The
VE157 / VE607 / VE807, in combination with other ATEN devices such as
VGA/DVI/HDMI extenders and MDS solutions, can further extend the
distance or multiply A/V sources/displays.
The VE157 / VE607 / VE807 can be powered at either the Transmitter or
Receiver side, and uses a second Cat 5e cable to transmit the power signal to
the other unit. The compact wall plate design does away with bulky cables and
allows a neat and convenient installation. It is an ideal solution for function
rooms, museums and any environment that requires equipment or cabling to be
kept hidden from public view.
