2. Introduction

Overview

Thank you for purchasing a premium quality Zektor SoloCAT™ product. Our CAT5 Video System
SoloCAT series extends component video with stereo analog or digital audio signals over commonly
available Category 5 cable. Through enhanced engineering, Zektor is able to accomplish audio, video
and power transmission over a SINGLE CAT5/5e/6 cable whereas most manufacturers require two
cables to do the same transmission with lesser results. Analog or digital audio can be supplied at the
transmitter side, analog and digital audio will be available, simultaneously, on the receiver side.
Note: The receiver analog outputs will only output digital audio if it is PCM stereo digital audio. If Dolby,
or DTS digital audio is received, it will only be available on the digital output of the receiver, the analog
outputs will be muted.
