1. Introduction
1.1 General
The AC504A-WP is used to send PC Video or analog HDTV
(component video) on UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cables. Power is also
transmitted on the same Cat5 cable between the sender unit and the
receiver.
The AC504A-WP can extend the video up to 500 feet. The unit can
support the following video signals
¾ PC’s VGA video (RGBHV) at any resolution
¾ Component video (Y Pb Pr, or RGB), at any resolution - an
adapter cable HD15-to-3RCA will be required
¾ NTSC, PAL, or SECAM Composite video and stereo audio -an
adapter cable HD15-to-3RCA (video and R/L Audio) will be
required
At the receiving (remote) end the Cat5 signal is converted back to
VGA for connection to monitors, projector or other display devices
using a compatible unit (Black Box Model AC602A).
The AC504A-WP includes a power supply that powers itself and the
AC602A Receiver (power-over-UTP) for a clean and easy setup
(Note that if the length of Cat5 cable is longer than 300 feet, the
receiver may require its own power supply).
Alternatively, the power supply can be connected to the AC602A
remote receiver, in which case, the sender is powered through the cat5
cable.
