The Gefen 1:2 Component Audio Over CAT5

The 1:2 Component Audio over CAT5 extends and duplicates your audio and
component video signals at distances of up to 1000 feet away. Remote AV
signals are received from the 1:2 Component Audio over CAT5 Sender unit, via
industry-standard CAT5 network cables.

The 1:2 Component Audio over CAT5 will extend Analog Component as well as
Analog Audio or Digital Audio via S/PDIF or TOSlink and provide two full sets
of AV signal output on the receiving end. Audio is transmitted digitally over the
CAT-5 cable and both the analog and digital audio outputs are active on the
receiver side.

How It Works

The 1:2 Component Audio CAT5 Distribution Amplifi er Sender unit is placed at
the source location. A standard CAT5 cable is run from the 1:2 Component Audio
over CAT5 Sender to the 1:2 Component Audio over CAT5 Receiver unit. The
1:2 Component Audio over CAT5 Receiver unit connects to your remote HDTV
component video displays, and audio inputs.

Note: Both analog and digital audio outputs are active on the receiver side when
two-channel analog audio is used. If multi-channel digital audio is used, then the
analog audio outputs will be inactive.
