Description

Wizard Multimedia Extender LP

• USB line powered. Great for video in areas short on outlets.
• Power from the host PC or a digital signage player with a USB port.
• Transmits full HD 1080p video as far as 500 feet (152.4 m).

• Includes a compact, simple-to-install transmitter and receiver.
• Save by using CATx cable already installed in your building-no expensive, hard-to-handle VGA cabling needed.
• Fully supports Display Data Channel (DDC) communications via standard stored settings or by emulation.
• Video adjustment on remote unit for controlling image sharpness on the display.

The Wizard Multimedia LP enables you to simplify the infrastructure required for video-only digital signage extension.

First of all, it's USB line powered. With no bulky power transformer to plug in, you can reduce clutter locally at the source and remotely at the display. The Wizard Multimedia Extender LP takes its power directly from a USB interface and extends that power over the link used for video, transmitting low-voltage power via a spare wiring pair to the receiver. This makes it great for digital signage in areas without abundant power outlets. It's also safer (in K-12 school settings, for example).

Another benefit is it uses CAT5 or higher cabling for video extension. You can use non-networked copper runs already installed in your building (shielded, foil twisted-pair [FTP] cable recommended). It eliminates the need for expensive and and difficult-to-terminate VGA cables without sacrificing video quality for economy.

Simplify multiscreen HD video extension with this CATx-based VGA distribution solution. The Wizard Multimedia Extender LP 4-Port Transmitter extends analog video as far as 500 feet (152.4 m) using solid-conductor CATx cable*.

Used with separately sold Wizard Multimedia Extender LP Receivers (AVU4001A-RX), the transmitter enables you to broadcast Full HD 1080p video to four screens in four locations over CATx wiring already installed in your building. It broadcasts maximum resolutions at maximum distances-going farther than what's ordinarily possible or practical with standard VGA cabling runs.

Even better, the receivers are line powered from the transmitter end over the CATx cable to the receivers, so power isn't required at the remote end. This feature makes the extender ideal for rooms where you're short on outlets, as well as reducing the number of cords around or behind screens.

In addition, the Wizard Multimedia Extender LP 4-Port Transmitter has a serial port that you use to switch remote video on and off. Doing this forces most VGA screens to go into standby mode, which, in turn, can help you save in utility costs and preserve the lives of your displays.

You can also attach a screen locally via the transmitter's feedthrough VGA port. Or use the feedthrough port to cascade to another Wizard Multimedia Extender LP 4-Port Transmitter-great in applications where you have more than four displays that you want to reach with your host system. You can cascade another transmitter to support up to eight screens.

Two different power inputs at the terminal block prevent the power interruptions. When the primary DC power input fails, the backup power input takes over to guarantee non-stop operation.
