Churches
and houses of worship frequently use audio-visual baluns to
distribute audio, video, VGA, DVI, HDMI, and USB signals throughout
the sanctuary and greater building. Churches typically opt
for structured cabling solutions because: |
-
Baluns allow
you to send ultra high resolution signals, such as DVI and
HDMI, longer distances
-
Twisted
pair cable is smaller and easier to pull than traditional
cable
-
Twisted
pair cable is smaller and easier to hide than traditional
cable
-
Baluns help
eliminate ground loops and RF interference
-
Baluns and
twisted pair cable typically cost significantly less than
traditional cable over long distances
 A
common application in churches is distributed audio and video,
or sending a single source to multiple destinations. Typically,
this will be the audio and video from a DVD player or the
VGA from a computer sent to multiple monitors located throughout
the facility. In such applications, the Intelix AVDA-8-F,
VGADA-2, HDDA-8-F,
HDMI-2X2, or HDMI-2X8
are typically used as distribution hubs.
 Another
common application in houses of worship is long distance projection; a
remote projector displays several video inputs on a screen at the front
of the sanctuary. The challenge here is getting the video to the
projector without having large, unsightly and expensive cables running
all over the floor, walls, and ceiling. Baluns are ideal because they
extend the video transmission distance and utilize Cat 5 cabling, which
is thin and easy to pull and hide.
 Audio
distribution is another frequent application in churches, whether it be
broadcasting audio from a CD player to a remote receiver or transmitting
the audio from a microphone mixer back to a recording device. |
