Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The Component Video/IR Pass-Thru Balun (500054, 500055) allows one component
video (YPbPr or RGB) signal and one IR-emitter signal to be transmitted via a cost-
effective unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Used in pairs, the Component Video/IR-Pass-Thru Balun supports 480i/p, 720p and
1080i/p resolution for hi-definition (HDTV) video applications.
The product allows four coaxial cables to be replaced by one Category 5E/6 twisted pair
cable allowing standard structured cabling techniques to be used for more efficient
cabling.
