PT201VGA specifications

The Kramer Electronics PT-201VGA is an essential tool for anyone looking to extend VGA signals over long distances without sacrificing quality. This device provides a reliable solution for connecting VGA sources to displays in various environments, such as corporate offices, educational institutions, and home theaters. Featuring state-of-the-art technology and user-friendly design, the PT-201VGA is a versatile choice.

At its core, the PT-201VGA is a high-performance signal extender that leverages the power of twisted pair CAT 5e/6 cables. This allows users to transmit VGA signals up to 300 meters (approximately 1000 feet) away from the source, significantly extending the typical limitations of VGA connections. This impressive range enables a broad range of applications, from classrooms where projectors may be located far from the source to venues with distributed audiovisual setups.

The device supports resolutions of up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, ensuring that images are crystal clear and vibrant. It is designed to cater to both standard and wide-screen formats, accommodating various display requirements without compromising quality. The PT-201VGA features a compact, rugged metal enclosure, which not only enhances durability but also minimizes electromagnetic interference, a common issue in AV installations.

Another notable feature is its plug-and-play functionality. There’s no need for complex installation or extensive configuration; users simply connect the input and output devices, and the PT-201VGA begins working autonomously. The unit also incorporates automatic signal detection, which intelligently adjusts to the connected devices, delivering optimal performance seamlessly.

Additionally, the PT-201VGA is equipped with built-in cable equalization and signal re-clocking, which helps to maintain the integrity of the signal over extended distances. This technology mitigates any potential signal degradation, ensuring reliable performance, even in high-demand scenarios.

Whether you are looking to set up a large-scale presentation or simply wish to enjoy high-quality visuals from your computer to a monitor, the Kramer Electronics PT-201VGA delivers exceptional performance and flexibility. Its combination of advanced features, ease of use, and robust build quality make it a valuable asset for any audiovisual setup.
