Overview
The VE-120 Video Extender System allows you to extend the
distance between the computer system unit and the display
monitor by up to 130 meters (430 feet). It accomplishes this by
means of a local transmitting unit (VE-120L), and remote
receiving unit (VE-120R), connected by Category 5 twisted pair
Ethernet cable.
The VE-120 Video Extender System is ideal for factory and
construction sites, or any installation where the display needs
to reside in a harsh setting, but you want the system equipment
kept in an environmentally friendly location.
The Extender System is also useful for control and security
purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area
at the same time that you put the display in an area that is
convenient for viewing.
Other useful applications for the Video Extender system include:
Financial: The remote display of stock market information.
Education: The remote display of lectures and lessons to
lecture halls and classrooms.
Business: The remote display of addresses to overflow
rooms; video conferencing; and demos.
