VGA Extenders
enable you to use standard twisted-pair
cable to transmit VGA signals or VGA and audio signals up to 500 feet
(152.4 m) in your video distribution or digital signage application.

Use them to broadcast video content, as well as audio, from a PC
in schools, hospitals, retail stores, airports, bus stations, and many
other applications.

The extenders support both local and remote VGA monitors. Each
kit consists of a local unit and a remote unit, as well as a VGA cable for
connecting the local unit’s HD15 input connec tor to your VGA source.

The local unit duplicates the input signal for local use and transmits
the VGA signal to the remote unit. When the remote unit receives
the VGA signal via an RJ-45 connector, it broad casts the signal to
two VGA outputs.

To add audio extension capabilities to your application, order
the
VGA Extender
with Audio (AC556A-R2). The audio input/output
jacks can be used, for instance, to plug in speakers for a full
multimedia experience. The AC556A-R2 takes the left and right
channels of a stereo signal input on the local unit, sends them to the
audio outputs, where it’s “mixed” together to form a mono signal
before transmitting to the remote unit via CAT5, 5e, or 6 cable.

After you install the
VGA Extender
, you can monitor its operation
via its LEDs. Active LEDs, for example, light on the local unit when the
extender detects a VGA input signal and on the remote unit when it
properly decodes VGA signals for the two HD15 VGA ports.

What’s more, a convenient equalization (gain) selector switch on
the remote unit gives you optimum signal clarity. To fine-tune the
images, just adjust this switch to match the length of the CAT5, 5e,
or 6 cable between units.
