ST121EXT repeater/extender to connect additional displays in between

the Transmitter (ST1218T) and Receiver (ST121R).

Allow Converge A/V to provide you with digital signage solutions.

Applications include airports, bus depots, retail, or any large buildings

where video needs to be delivered at long distances.
