The 1:4 Component/Audio Over CAT5 Distribution Amplifi er (DA) sends up to 4
identical sets of sparkling clear component video with audio to remote locations via
four CAT5 cables at distances of up to 1000 feet. Now you can reliably and cleanly
distribute up to four copies of a video signal with digital or analog audio to remote
locations without having to worry about signal drop-off and loss of quality.

How It Works

Simply plug in your component video and audio from your source to the 1:4
Component/Audio DA Sender. Your audio can be analog, digital SPDIF or digital
TOSlink. Run your CAT5 cables from the Sender box to up to 4 remote destinations,
then connect a receiver box to each CAT5 cable at the terminating end. Attach the
displays to the receivers to, power on all equipment, and you should see beautiful
video. All audio ports on the receiver will also be active, so even if your source only
had analog audio your Component Audio Receiver will have digital and analog
audio output. The sender and receiver both will be powered individually by 5V power
supplies.
