Frequently Asked Questions
What is component video over IP and what advantage does it provide for AV systems?
Component video over IP transmits high-quality video, stereo audio, RS-232 control, and infrared remote signals over standard Cat5/6 network cabling, eliminating the need for separate video cables.
How far can this transmitter extend component video signals over network cabling?
This transmitter extends video, audio, and control signals up to 328 feet using standard Cat5/6 cabling, supporting multi-display installations in large facilities.
What video resolutions can this component video over IP system support?
The transmitter supports resolutions up to 1080i, making it suitable for HD video distribution in conference rooms, auditoriums, and digital signage installations.
Can this transmitter integrate infrared remote control capabilities into the video distribution?
Yes, the transmitter carries IR remote signals alongside video and audio, allowing operators to control displays remotely without separate IR cable runs.
What RS-232 serial control capabilities does this transmitter enable?
The included RS-232 serial channel allows control commands for compatible displays and AV equipment to be transmitted alongside video and audio over a single Cat5/6 cable.
How does using network cabling for video distribution benefit large facilities?
Network infrastructure is already present in most buildings; transmitting video over Cat5/6 eliminates separate video cable runs, reducing installation complexity and cost.
What lead time is typical for video distribution equipment like this transmitter?
Availability for specialised AV transmitters may vary. Contact Procure.ae to confirm current stock and delivery timeline for this component.
