Extending video long distances often isn’t possible or practical using standard VGA or coax cabling. With Composite, Component, and other analog video cabling, frequency losses result in deteriorated video quality. Generally, with these cables, the shorter distance the better. Extenders that extend analog video over UTP copper or fiber cable solve this problem, enabling you to use backbone or horizontal wiring for long-distance extensions. Depending on the extender model, video input can be VGA, Component, S-Video, Composite, or BNC coax. They’re a great alternative to using analog video or coax cables, which often can’t be easily pulled through tight spaces and can be more difficult to terminate. What’s really nice is, in most buildings, copper or fiber cabling is already installed to service data communications. Fiber-based extenders provide higher bandwidth and interference-free extensions at greater distances than copper-type CATx extenders. But there‘s the matter of cost. CATx extenders that use cabling and connectors cost considerably less than fiber cabling components. Another thing to consider: Coax- or VGA-cabled extension installations usually require a separate RS-232 or other line for transmitting the control signal for the display — yet another cable to fit into the conduit. CATx cable, however, delivers both the video and control signals through a single transmission medium. But what if you have long runs of coax installed? An extender like our MediaCento RF, which uses low-cost RF cabling to broadcast video to remote HDTV screens, may be the answer. Supporting both VGA and Component video source input, the MediaCento RF encodes and modulates signals for single-channel RF transmission over existing coax wiring. The QAM tuner at the screen enables the reception of the HD MediaCento RF channel, so no set-top box or other hardware is required. For more information and our online store, visit www.blackbox.nl 49
