CAT5 AUDIO/VIDEO 8-PORT BROADCASTER, SPLITTER, AND REMOTE
2. Introduction
2.1 Description
Broadcast a single audio/video source to up to 512 remote display stations. The
CAT5 Audio/Video System broadcasts high-resolution video and audio over CAT5
cable to multiple display stations in real time. You can place the remote display
stations up to 360 ft. (109.7 m) away from the source. Since the CAT5 system is a
pure hardware solution, it provides real-time screen transfer without loss of screen
quality. Broadcast the source screen at high video resolution—up to 1600 x 1200
@ 75 Hz!
The CAT5 Audio/Video System consists of these components:
(1) CAT5 Audio/Video 8-Port Broadcaster (AC156A-8) to connect to the
audio/video source. You must
have one of these.
(1) or more CAT5 Audio/Video Splitters (AC157A-8) to expand and boost the
system. You may or may not need one of these. You can have up to 72 splitters.
(1) CAT5 Audio/Video Remote (AC158A-REM) for each remote
screen/computer. You need at least one of these (but could have as many as
512—for 512 users, you’d also need 72 splitters).
Category 5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables connect the CAT5 Audio/Video
system. The CAT5 Audio/Video Remote units (AC158A-REM) can be up to 360 ft.
(109.7 m) away from the Broadcaster (AC156A-8).
