V3AD HDTV Component Video and Digital Audio Balun
The Intelix V3AD balun is an ideal solution for routing high definition (HDTV) signals over structured cabling, such as Cat 5. The V3AD does not require power and supports 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p resolution video. The V3AD was discontinued on January 1, 2007. It was replaced by the AVO-V3AD-F.
 
 

Example System

Example System 1: Two V3AD baluns connect a satellite to a remote plasma and an audio receiver. Digital audio and HDTV video from the satellite is balanced by the source balun, transmitted over the Cat 5 cabling, and then unbalanced by the receive balun. The send V3AD connects directly to the satellite's component (YPbPr) video RCA connectors, and a short RCA cable is used to connect the V3AD to the digital audio output. The receive V3AD is connected directly to the RCA inputs on the plasma, and a RCA cable is used to connect the V3AD to the audio receiver's digital audio input.

Example System

Example System 2: Two V3AD baluns connect a DVD player to a television. Digital audio and component (YPbPr) video from the DVD player is balanced by the source balun, transmitted over the Cat 5 cabling, and then unbalanced by the receive balun.
