CAT5 AUDIO/VIDEO DISPLAY
1. What is the CAT5 Audio/Video Display system?
The CAT5 Audio/Video Display (AVDS) system from Minicom broadcasts real-
time high-resolution video and mono audio signals to hundreds of remote display
monitors and speakers.
The AVDS system consists of the following:
• Broadcaster unit p/n 1VS22018 + Control Unit
• Line Splitters unit p/n 1VS22019 to expand the system
• Remote Dongles unit p/n 1VS23011 connect to each remote screen/computer
Warning! Do NOT connect units with the above part numbers to units of
earlier AVDS systems that have different part numbers. Part numbers are
located on the back of each unit.
Shielded CAT5 FTP cables connect the AVDS system. The Remote Dongles can be
up to 110m/360ft away from the Broadcaster.
2. The multi-functional AVDS system
You can use the AVDS system in the following ways:
(A) Without the Control Unit
The AVDS system constantly broadcasts a computer screen with audio to all
remote monitors/speakers.
(B) With the Control Unit
• Broadcast a computer screen with audio to all remote monitors/speakers
• Darken all remote screens (audio broadcast is unaffected)
• Release the remote screens to allow local monitor viewing (when remote
computers are connected).
The screen dark function is useful when carrying out maintenance, changing
the broadcast program or in a classroom environment to grab students’
attention.
With both applications broadcast the video up to resolutions of 1600 x 1200 @
75Hz depending on the cable length.
