© MuxLab Inc. 2003-2010 Component Video Balun
Overview
The Component Video Balun allows a single
component video signal (Y, Pb, or Pr) to be
transmitted via cost-effective unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable. Three (3) balun pairs are required for
one point-to-point component video (YPbPr)
connection.
The product allows three coaxial cables to be replaced
by one Category 5 twisted pair cable allowing standard
structured cabling techniques to be used for neater
and more streamlined cabling.
The Component Video Balun is compact enough to
allow three (3) units to be connected side by side on
the back of the component video equipment.
Benefits
Cost savings - eliminate costly coaxial cable
Quicker moves, adds and changes
Neater wiring
