SD-VUE USB Mini Extender Range
2. Overview
Introduction
The SD-VUE USB Mini Extender Series enables high-resolution video, USB,
stereo audio, and serial port signals to be communicated up to 50m over
Category 5, 5e, 6 or higher (CATx) cable.
A basic USB extension system comprises a Local Unit (transmitter) and a
Remote Unit (receiver). The Local Unit connects directly to the computer (or a
USB Hub) using the supplied cable(s). The user console (consisting of monitor,
keyboard, mouse and other devices) attaches to the Remote Unit. All Local
Units in the USB Mini Extender Series have video output ports, allowing a
second user console at the CPU (using further CPU/Hub ports). The Remote
and Local Units communicate video and data information along the connecting
CATx cable (see Interconnection Cable Requirements on page 12).
Within the product range, models are available with:
• Audio and serial transmission: bi-directional stereo audio (16-bit digitized)
and transparent serial COM port (to 19.2Kbps).
• Multiple video channels: single and dual heads.
