1. Introduction
1.1 Model UV-1 (for VGA)
The Model UV1 is a single channel UTP (CAT5) VGA video extender consisting of
a sender (UV1-S) and a receiver (UV1-R) sold together as a pair. The sender
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 sender and receiver are 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 power adapter (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-Cat® brand extenders can drive CAT5 LAN cables to 500 feet (150
meters) with little to no degradation of video quality
.
1.2 Model UV-1-CP (for Component Video (RGB or
YPbPr))
This variation of the UV-1 includes cables for each end that allow you connect the
sender to the 3 RCA connectors of DVD-players or other video sources that output
Component Video (RGB or YPbPr, or YCbCr) and the receiver to connect to
compatible displays such as HDTV’s or high-end monitors. The actual sender and
receiver units are identical to the standard UV-1 and, in fact, you can use the pair
to send VGA video if you substitute VGA cables.
