Overview

1.1. Description

The Active VGA/Audio Balun Kit allows VGA or component video, analog stereo audio and/or digital audio, one IR-emitter signal, and one RS232 signal to be transmitted via a cost-effective 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 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 the VGA 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 9.

Applications include digital signage, residential, boardroom, classroom, and home theater video systems.
