Overview
1.1. Description
The Active Component Video Balun Kit allows
component video, analog stereo audio and/or digital
audio, and one IR-emitter signal to be transmitted via a
cost-effective unshielded copper twisted cable in a
point-to-point configuration.
The product supports simultaneous stereo audio and
digital audio transmission. The product provides IRemitter pass-through connectivity, supports up to 1080p
resolution, and features manual brightness and sharpness
adjustments.
The product converts a component video signal from an
unbalanced to 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 on page 8.
Applications for the Active Component Video Balun Kit
include digital signage, residential, boardroom,
classroom, and home theater video systems.
