VGA & Component Video-over-CAT5 Extension

1. Introduction
1.1 Model AC504A … for VGA
The Model AC504A is a UTP (CAT5) VGA video extender consisting
of a transmitter (AC504A-S) and a receiver (AC504A-R) sold together
as a pair. The transmitter converts a PC's VGA signal into a format that
can be transmitted using a single inexpensive and commonly available
Category-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ45
connectors, which is used in most Local Area Networks.
At the receiving (remote) end the Cat5 signal is converted back to VGA
for connection to your monitor, projector or other display device.
The transmitter and receiver are each housed in a small plastic
enclosure and include a HD15 video connector and a RJ45 connector
for the Cat-5 cable. Included with the pair of devices are: one small
universal power supply (can be powered at either end), and a short
adapter cable for easy connection to the standard HD-15 connector of
the PC.
The Mini-CAT5 Extender can drive CAT5 LAN cables to 500 feet (150
meters) with excellent video quality.
1.2 Model AC504A-CP … for Component Video (RGB or
YPbPr or YCbCr)
This variation of the AC504A includes cables for each end that allow
connection of the transmitter to the 3 RCA connectors of DVD-players
or other video sources that output Component Video (RGB or Y Pb Pr,
or Y Cb Cr). A similar cable is also provided for the receiver for
connection to compatible displays such as HDTV’s or high-end
monitors. The actual sender and receiver units are identical to the
standard AC504A and, in fact, you can use the pair to send VGA video
if you substitute VGA cables.
