Overview

1.1. Description

The Active Component Video Balun Kit allows

component video, analog stereo audio and/or digital

audio, and one IR-emitter signal to be transmitted via a

cost-effective unshielded copper twisted cable in a

point-to-point configuration.

The product supports simultaneous stereo audio and

digital audio transmission. The product provides IR-

emitter pass-through connectivity, supports up to 1080p

resolution, and features manual brightness and sharpness

adjustments.

The product converts a component video signal from an

unbalanced to balanced signal, and amplifies and

equalizes the signal at the receiving end. It provides

excellent image quality and minimizes distortions due to

smearing, propagation delay, and phase deviation. The

transmitter and receiver are shown on page 8.

Applications for the Active Component Video Balun Kit

include digital signage, residential, boardroom,

classroom, and home theater video systems.
