interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be
required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the
interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference
Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
The HD View system from Black Box is an out-of-band solution for
the last step in a digital signage network. HD View combines video,
stereo/audio and serial functions for distributing real-time multimedia
content from player to multiple screens up to 300m/1,000ft away.
The HD View system distributes Video, Audio and Serial control data
from a single content source to up to 128 remote monitors over CAT
5/5e/6/7 UTP media.
With the HD View an administrator can remotely turn the distributed
screens on and off, and monitor them either separately or as a unified
group. The system also supports Display Data Channel (DDC)
signaling, enabling optimal player-screen configuration for better
visual experience.
Depending on the cable length the HD View broadcasts the video up to
resolutions of 1080p HDTV or 1920x1440 @ 60Hz.
HD View comes with full RS-232 point-to-point, real-time serial
communication (including TX, RX, CTS, and RTS) for the extension
of serial devices and player to screen command and information
transfer. All handshake lines are supported for maximum
compatibility with any serial device.
2.1 Features
· HD support
· High quality stereo-audio
· 1 to 1, 1 to many serial control
· All speeds up to 57,600
