NEW P-1300

Vision’s Pro-series product line is
the perfect home for the P-1400.
The P-1300 is a hinged plate
designed to fit into a standard 19”
rack.

Theory of operation

The P-1400 was designed to delivery flawless High-Definition video from
the output of your source to the input of your display device. To achieve
this goal we have engineered an amplifier and cable that work together to
distribute with zero signal loss (Patent Pending).

Modern home theaters often have long cable runs from equipment to the
display. Ceiling mounted projectors are usually the worst, with runs of over
50 feet common.

The hinges open to

P-1300

maintain a clean look and

provide easy access for

servicing equipment.

Coax cables all have loss that affect the sharpness of the image. Even
worse, this loss is frequency dependant! HDTV bandwidths of component
video make this a serious problem. Installers use very expensive cable to
try to minimize this problem. But even the most expensive cable will
degrade your image on all but the shortest cable runs.

The P-1400 zero-loss video extender eliminates this problem! The P-1400
precisely pre-equalizes the signals at the beginning of a 25 meter cable.
So what goes in is what comes out: Zero-loss!

The P-1400 provides connections for
Component video
S-video
Composite video
Plus a shielded stereo pair for analog audio, IR signals or 12V triggers.
Connectors are enclosed in a sheath with an attached pulling wire.
Fits ¾” conduit.

What’s included?

The 25 meter pre-made cable ... has been precisely

constructed to match the pre-amplification provided
by the P-1400. This cable must not be shortened or
the benefits of the P-1400 will be negated.

Install screws in empty holes.

Note: The P-1400 should be mounted close to the video source equipment.
