Package Contents
The Atlona AT-VGA-RS300SRS (Sender and Receiver) extender unites with
stereo audio allows users to extend VGA (up to 1920x1200) signals further
than before. Using a single CAT5/5e/6 cable these units extend signal
distances up to 1000ft (300m) with no signal degradation. With built in EQ
and GAIN control the transmission path can be adjusted to adapt to the
cable quality and video bandwidth. This unit is perfect for extending
computer monitors and digital signage applications.
• Supports up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA) to distances up to 1000ft (300ft).
• Supports RS-232 control
• Supports analog stereo audio
• Adjustable equalization and gain control on AT-VGA-RS300R (receiver)
• Wall mounting case & interlocked power jack
