One component of a robust solution that, when paired with a distribution hub (part #41167, sold separately), delivers component video, S/PDIF digital audio, left/right stereo audio and IR emitter transmission up to 300 feet via two Cat5 patch cables, and up to 500 feet via two Cat6 patch cables. This receiver unit features RCA jacks for audio, component video, and S/PDIF connections plus a 3.5mm jack for IR emitter connections. Indicator LEDs on the front confirm that a component video signal is present. Cable length equalizer circuitry is adjustable for optimum picture viewing.
Audio/video baluns provide an economical alternative to coaxial cables for long length audio/video installations. Baluns are able to maintain a critical 75 Ohm impedance to audio/video devices while providing 100 Ohm impedance to the cabling infrastructure. This balanced impedance allows the audio/video signals to travel with little to no degradation up to 300 feet via Cat5, over 500 feet via Cat6. This receiver features a rugged metal cabinet, a discrete passive IR channel for the use of external IR remote control systems, a cable length equalizer and video continuity LEDs to ensure video signal.
