Overview
1.1. Description
The Active VGA/Component Balun II Kit allows VGA
or component video to be transmitted via cost-efficient
unshielded copper twisted cable in a point-to-point
configuration.
The product supports remote power pass-thru and is
DDC compliant with all “plug-and-play” laptops, PCs
and displays. The product supports up to 1920 x 1200
pixels and 1080p resolution and features manual gain
adjustment and local monitor output for added
versatility.
The product converts the VGA signal from an
unbalanced signal to a balanced signal and amplifies and
equalizes the signal at the receiving end. It provides
excellent image quality and minimizes distortions due to
smearing, propagation delay and phase deviation. The
transmitter and receiver are shown in the photo below.
Applications include; Digital signage, residential,
boardroom, classroom, and medical imaging video
systems.
