Overview
The Active VGA/Audio Balun Kit (500145) allows
VGA and stereo or digital audio to be transmitted
via cost-efficient unshielded copper twisted cable
in a point-to-point configuration. The product
also supports RS232, is DDC compliant and
works in conjunction with MuxLab’s IR-Emitter
(500998) and IR Sensor (500999) to support IR
source control. Tx and Rx also sold separately.
