Convertor sends VGA signals up to 90m
The Mini-CAT is a compact VGA-to-CAT5 convertor for extending PC video signals easily and economically.
Video matrix mixes and matches four displays
The VSM-404 is a video matrix switch that allows four PCs to be routed to four displays in any combination.
As an added bonus, the PC's audio signal can be sent along on the same Cat5 cable to remote locations.
Nessie Mabini, the company's Sales Manager, says that the rising demand for high-resolution video distribution and switching has necessitated a painless method to transmit the signal from one point to another.
Traditionally bulky, pricey, and hard to terminate multi-coaxial cables are used to carry the video signal, and if audio distribution is needed also, separate audio cables would be required.
HRT's new products simplify this situation by converting the VGA and audio signals to a format compatible with standard unshielded twisted pair (Cat5) cables that are widely available.
A small receiver box (Model URA) at the end of each cable extracts and restores the VGA and audio signals to their original sharpness and clarity even at 500ft away.
The splitters are available with two, eight or 24 RJ45 outputs (Model UVA-2 through UVA-24).
They also feature separate HD15 VGA and mini-stereo audio outputs for connection to local monitor and speakers.
The local ports can be used to expand the number of outputs easily to any number.
Prices start at $350 with delivery 2 to 3 days from receipt of order.
