The C.A. Designs VGA / SVGA / XGA twisted-pair video receiver TP1V-100 is part of a line interface for the transport of video signals, throughout buildings wired with category 5 cable systems, to remote monitor screens.

A line driving module (TP1B-100 transforms the video signal from a PC graphics adaptor into differential form, suitably matched to level 5 UTP or FTP cable.

The line-receiving module TP1V-100 is switchable to either reconstruct SVGA video output (with switchable sync pulse polarity) for VGA monitors, or analogue RGB video output.  Balanced differential input amplifiers reduce unwanted common-mode interference and compensate for cable losses (switchable for 0, 50, and 100 metres).

Power is supplied from the twisted-pair line (no external PSU is necessary).

The twisted-pair cable used must be category 5 grade or better (depending on length and acceptable quality). Foil-screened cable is recommended for optimum EMC.

Excellent picture quality with resolutions up to 1024x768 (non-interlaced) using level 5 twisted-pair cable is obtainable from:

• TP1B-0 with a TP1V-100 up to 100m
• TP1B-100 with a TP1V-100 up to 200m

Please note that 300 metre solutions are also available; please contact our sales department for further information.

• Rack-mounted EuroCard versions are available; please contact our sales department for further information.
