Schools
and colleges frequently use audio-visual baluns to distribute
audio, video, VGA, DVI, HDMI, PS2, and USB signals throughout
classrooms, auditoriums, and lecture halls. Baluns and structured
cabling solutions are ideal for academia because: |
-
Baluns allow you to send
ultra high resolution signals, such as DVI and VGA, longer distances
-
Most schools
and colleges already have twisted pair cabling, such as
Cat 5, installed
-
Twisted
pair cable is smaller and easier to pull and 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 schools and colleges 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 VCR sent to multiple televisions located throughout the
building. For example, a principal could play a DVD in her
office and broadcast it to each classroom. 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 colleges and schools is routing VGA and DVI from a
computer to a remote projector in a lecture hall or auditorium.
Traditionally, this was an expensive, cumbersome task because high
bandwidth signals require expensive, bulky cables with limited
transmission distances. However, through the use of baluns, VGA and DVI
transmission is extended up to 550 feet over inexpensive Cat 5
cabling--and gain and compensation ensure an extremely high quality
signal. |
