There are three major components of a signage solution: Digital Signage Hardware, software and content. The part of a digital signage system which is actually Continue reading »
The RGB to DVI Converter converts RGB video signals into DVI-D format. The converted signals are then relayed over multi mode fiber to a distance of 1000 meters. This device supports video formats up to 108 MHz. By converting the analog video signals into a compatible digital format, it makes the connection between RGB and DVI work. The device operates on plug and play functionality and all connections are made on the rear of the unit. The converter needs to be placed in a manner so that the front panel display and buttons are visible as they may be required for system set up. The buttons also enable configuration of special video settings and configure existing video configurations.
The RGB to DVI conversion device is also available in rack mountable 1U versions. This product is compliant with the FCC and CE standards. Equipped with a built in DVI Splitter, this device has the ability to Continue reading »
RS-232 is a standard for serial binary data signals and is commonly used in computer serial ports, controllers, data communication etc. The RS232 Extender is a product which can extend the RS232 devices at a distance from the source computer. The connections are secured via standard Cat5 / Cat5e / Cat6 UTP cables hence extension up to 1000 feet is possible. Consisting of a transmitter and a receiver unit, this extender is easy to set up and install and works on the plug and play functionality. While the former is connected to the computer, the RS232 device is connected to the latter. Both the units are connected together using standard Cat5. A single power supply connected to the transmitter powers the whole system which when powered on, is ready to be used.
Equipped with a DB 9 female connector and a DB 9 male output connector, this RS232 Extender requires Continue reading »
An Audio Extender allows extension of analog stereo audio over inexpensive Cat5 / Cat5e / Cat6 UTP cable up to a distance which cannot be achieved over standard bulky audio cable. Easy to install, it works on plug and play functionality. Enclosed in a durable metal case this device consists of a transmitter that connects to the local audio source and a receiver that connects to the remote speakers. A power supply is connected to the transmitting unit. The transmitter and receiver units are in turn connected via Cat5 cables. With the use of Cat5 cables for connections, a distance of up to 300 meters can be achieved.
The audio video extender unit with a built in amplifier has a frequency range of 10Hz-25Hz and gain adjustment control. Light weight and compact this audio out feature of this device supports Continue reading »
An Audio Video Switch makes multiple audio and video switching fast, easy and convenient. Using this device, a single audio/video output can be routed to one or multiple destinations. By cascading these switches, the number of outputs can be increased. An advantage of using this device is that plugging and unplugging of audio and video equipment and hassle of connecting multiple cables can be avoided, thereby making cable management and signal selection easier. This device also saves equipment costs, physical space as well as expense on utilities.
The Icron USB 2.0 Ranger is an Extender which supports the newer USB 2.0 protocol and is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 low speed and full speed peripherals. These USB 2.0 peripheral devices can be placed over a distance up to 330 feet away from the host computer as opposed to the previous distance barrier of 164 feet with the USB 1.1 version. Host computer and peripheral usb extension is enabled over standard Category 5/ Category 6 UTP cable. Speeds up to 480 Mbps are supported by them. The typical extenders support a limited number of peripherals but by using standard USB hubs, the number can be increased. These extenders ideally support I/O devices, printers, scanners, web cams, hard drives, flash drives and mp3 players.
Extenders such as VGA to CAT5 allow long range transmission of VGA signals via UTP/STP cables. Since Cat5/Cat6/Cat5e cables are used for securing the connections, the distance of transmission can range up to 950 feet away from the source device. End resolution depends upon the distance at which the display device is located. At a distance of 150 ft, the resolution is 1900 x 1200; at 300 ft it is 1600 x 1200, at 600 ft it is 1280 x 1024 and at 950 ft it is 1024 x 768 at 60 MHz. These devices have a provision for equalization and video signal gain adjustment.
A VGA Extender consists of two units, a transmitter which is connected to the local video source and the receiver which is connected to the remote monitor. These two units are then connected via category cables and externally powered. There are wireless versions which are becoming Continue reading »
The VGA to HDMI Converter is used to convert VGA signals into HDMI signals. Some models are also available with optional audio allowing a user to embed audio into your HDMI signal. The audio output can be connected back to a PCs monitor as well as speakers. Multiple resolutions including 1600 x 1200, 80i/576i/480p/576p/720p/1080i/1080P are supported by these converters providing crystal clear images without loss of data. They operate at a frequency of 165 MHz and a video amplifier bandwidth of 1.65 Gbps. These products also have the flexibility to replicate the images on multiple screens simultaneously using the cascading feature.
When a user needs to connect multiple HDMI devices to a HDTV and he faces a shortage of ports, the HDMI Switch can be used. These switches allow connection of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 8 HDMI sources like DVD players, computers and set top boxes. Compact in size, this device can route both HDMI and audio signals through the HDMI ports of the switch. Operating on High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology which provides HD video and multi-channel audio through a single HDMI cable, these switches reduce cost and avoid unnecessary clutter. Supporting high quality video, they provide images with resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p and form factors with 2 to 8 inputs.
Digital DVI signals from the computer can be converted into analog signals with the help of a DVI-D to VGA Adapter. These adapters ensure that analog devices such as CRT monitors or older televisions which are not equipped with digital output can still be connected to their digital sources. There are three types of DVI connections: DVI-Digital, DVI-Analog, and DVI-Integrated (Digital & Analog). By using this product, signals from the former are converted to analog. Modern video cards and display devices only have DVI outputs while older monitors have the Video Graphics Array (VGA) input interface. Conversion between these two interfaces can be achieved by these adapters.
Operating on plug and play methodology, one connector of the standard VGA cable is inserted into the VGA female end of the DVI to VGA adapter and the other end is inserted into the VGA port. The DVI-D end of the adapter is connected to the DVI port allowing Continue reading »
