mation. It is currently in service in airports and train stations, in

Wiring
DiagramHow it Works
The ex•tend•it VDX•600 Monitor Distribution Amplifier distributes
the same program source material in as many as 6 remote monitors.
The VDX•600 amplifies monitor signals through RGB cables up
to 500 feet away. The hardware is designed with a unique sharp-
ness control feature to handle any loss in signal quality due to
capacitance build-up in the cables.
The VDX•600 unit is placed next to the CPU or up to 6 feet away.
The monitor cables connect the CPU and the VDX•600 unit input.
The cable is supplied with the VDX•600 package. The extended
monitors require RGB cable and an RGB to VGA connector which
is purchased in addition to the VDX•600.
The VDX•600 is used in conjunction with the PCX•150R receiver
unit, which provides all the necessary monitor mating needed at the
extended end.
