Component-Composite Video Balun
500056, 500057
© MuxLab Inc. 2008-2009 Component/Composite Video Balun
Overview
The Component/Composite Video Balun (500056,
500057) allows one component video (YPbPr or RGB)
signal and one Composite Video signal to be transmitted
via one Category 5E/6 twisted pair cable for more cost-
efficient cabling.
Used in pairs, the Component/Composite Video Balun
supports 480i/p, 720p and 1080i/p video formats for
commercial and residential hi-definition (HDTV) video
applications. Works in conjunction with MuxLab rack,
wall and surface mounting accessories.
Benefits
More cost efficient cabling
Quicker moves, adds and changes
Neater wiring
