Description
The CatX Video Lite Tx is the only Classic range transmitter supplied with a CatX Video Lite Rx receiver as a complete extender pair, saving both space and money whilst raising security to a much higher level, as the video source is no longer in the same location as the display.
The CatX Video Lite products broadcast video+audio from a VGA source to any VGA video display unit up to a distance of 150m and can operate with only a single 12VDC PSU adapter. The PSU can attach to either the transmitter or the receiver unit, providing even more installation flexibility.
CatX Video Lite is ideal for SVGA transmission over cat5 cable and this competitively priced product offers the best performance of any comparable product. This transmitter and receiver pair will provide a sharp, high quality video at up to 150m and performs best using low cost cat5 cabling. Higher resolutions are achievable at shorter distances – see Resolution / Distance.
The CatX units are compact and lightweight, with a styled metal casing, allowing for easy installation in environments with limited space. Installation of these CatX units is quick and easy requiring a minimum of three connections.
A distance compensation control on the Video Lite receiver unit gives continuous adjustment for different cable lengths, making the setting up process simple whilst still viewing the remote display. No switch settings or complicated set up procedure is required.
