Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The Component/Composite Video Balun (500056, 500057) allows one component
video (YPbPr or RGB) signal and one composite video signal to be transmitted via a
cost-effective unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Used in pairs, the Component/Composite Video 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, enabling standard structured cabling techniques to be used for more efficient
cabling.
