DA1957CT

1-In, 4-Out Twisted Pair Distribution Amplifier

The DA1957CT is a 1-In, 4-Out Twisted Pair distribution amplifier designed to connect a single ALTINEX Twisted Pair transmitter to as many as 4 ALTINEX Twisted Pair receivers. The DA1957CT will pass computer video and audio signals from the transmitter over Twisted Pair-type (CAT-5) cable.

A typical setup allows a single computer's video and audio sources to be connected to as many as 4 Twisted Pair receivers. In turn, each receiver connects to a video monitor, projector etc. and/or an audio device such as a speaker or amplifier.

ALTINEX compatible transmitters and receivers include the DA1930CT Video+Audio Twisted Pair Transmitter and the DA1931CT Video+Audio Twisted Pair Receiver.

The DA1957CT is capable of equalizing the attenuation effects of very long cable runs depending upon the type and quality of cable being used. Additionally, there is a Signal Detect feature which shows when an input signal is present.

The latest generation of Twisted Pair devices uses an innovative, patented technology* developed by ALTINEX. The new signal processing technology allows transmitting and receiving fully equalized computer video signals, stereo, and audio signals over long distances.
