© MuxLab Inc. 2009                                                                                     VideoEase Active Component Video Balun Kit

The Active Component Video Balun Kit allows
component video, analog stereo audio and/or
digital audio, plus one IR-emitter signal to be
transmitted via one (1) Cat5E/6 cable in a point-
to-point configuration.

The product supports simultaneous stereo audio
and digital audio transmission. The product
provides an IR-emitter pass-through connectivity,
supports up to 1080p resolution, and features
manual brightness and sharpness adjustments.
Applications include digital signage, residential,
boardroom, classroom, and home theatre video
systems.
