DA1931CT
Twisted Pair to Video + Audio Receiver
The  DA1931CT provides a means of receiving 
computer video and audio signals over Twisted 
Pair-type (CAT-5) cable when used together with 
an ALTINEX Twisted Pair Video Transmitter, such 
as the DA1930CT.
The  DA1931CT is compact and easy to use. The 
DA1931CT is able to receive one of the video 
sources such as RGBHV, component  video, 
S-Video, or  composite video, along with stereo 
audio transmitted over the Twisted Pair cable from 
the DA1930CT or equivalent transmitter. 
The  DA1931CT provides both audio and video 
outputs. The DA1931CT offers a female 15-pin HD 
output for RGBHV/YPbPr signals, a 4-pin Mini DIN
connector for S-Video and an RCA connector for 
composite  video  output. A 5-pin terminal block is 
available for balanced stereo output and a 3.5 mm 
jack is used for unbalanced stereo output.
The unit also offers hardware video equalization for 
long cable lengths. The video equalization works in 
conjunction with the equalization on the transmitter
for optimal performance. There is also a Signal 
Detect feature which shows when an input signal is 
present.
The latest generation of Twisted Pair devices uses 
an innovative, patented technology* developed by 
ALTINEX. The new signal processing technology 
allows transmitting and receiving fully equalized 
computer video signals, stereo, and audio signals 
over long distances.
