Component Video/IR Pass-Thru Balun
500054, 500055
© MuxLab Inc. 2008-2009 Component Video/IR Pass-Thru Balun
Overview
The Component Video/IR Pass-Thru Balun (500054,
500055) allows one component video (YPbPr or RGB)
signal and one IR emitter signal to be transmitted via one
Category 5E/6 twisted pair cable for more cost-efficient
cabling.
Used in pairs, the Component Video/IR Pass-Thru Balun
supports 480i/p, 720p and 1080i/p video formats for
commercial and residential hi-definition (HDTV) video
applications.
Benefits
More cost efficient cabling
Quicker moves, adds and changes
Neater wiring
