Answer

The outputs of the DA1222AT allow signals to be driven through 10 feet or more of cable depending on the cable quality and the source signal resolution.

The DA1222AT offers two individually buffered outputs.

Buffered output means that the output signal is isolated from the input signal. The loaded output does not affect the input, or any other output on the device. A buffered output may vary in terms of the gain or peaking adjustments made to the video signal.

The DA1222AT can pass RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, Component Video, S-Vide, and Composite Video by using appropriate channels. Video sources may be passed through red, green, and blue channels as well as the horizontal and vertical sync channels.

No, you can not use CAT-5 cables instead of coaxial cables because you will loose the quality of the video signal. Since there is no isolation of each wire, the

350 MHz and a typical bandwidth close of 500 MHz, the DA1222AT allows

avery high-resolution video signal to pass through without degrading the quality of the image.
