VE-120

Overview

The VE-120 Video Extender System allows you to extend the distance between the computer system unit and the display monitor by up to 130 meters (430 feet). It accomplishes this by means of a local transmitting unit (VE-120L), and remote receiving unit (VE-120R), connected by standard Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable.

Note: In order to display the data on more than one remote monitor, the VE-122 Remote Unit is also available. While basically similar to the VE- 120R, it incorporates an RJ-45 output jack for daisy chaining to additional Remote Units.

The VE-120 Video Extender System is ideal for factory and construction sites, or any installation where the display needs to reside in a harsh setting, but you want the system equipment kept in an environmentally friendly location. The Extender System is also useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the display in an area that is convenient for viewing.

Other useful applications for the Video Extender system include:

•Financial: the remote display of stock market information

•Education: the remote display of lectures and lessons to lecture halls and classrooms

•Business: the remote display of addresses to overflow rooms; video conferencing; and demos

Features

•Uses Category 5 Ethernet Cable: For Economy; Easy Installation; and Utmost Data Transfer Reliability

•High Resolution Video - Up To 1600 x 1200@100 m •Supports VGA, SVGA, and Multisync Monitors •Long Distance Transmission - Up to 130 m (430') •Daisy Chainable (VE-122)

System Requirements

•IBM PC/AT, PC Compatible, Notebook, Laptop, or IBM PS/2 with a VGA output port.

•VGA monitor

•Grounding wire with no potential difference between the AC sources for the Local and Remote units.

Warning! Make absolutely sure that a protective ground wire with no potential difference is established between the AC sources for the Local and Remote units. Unequal grounding potential between the Local and Remote units will result in damage to the units and connected devices.
