ALAV 200

Description:

Distribute crisp, clear and bright VGA, CD quality audio and transparent RS232 from a single PC to 64 screens up to 300m/1000ft from a play out device. For Digital Signage and Media Streaming applications. The AdderLink AV200 Series is a range of audiovisual extenders delivering high video resolutions, superb quality audio and RS232 up to 300m using standard CATx cable (x=5,5e,6,7) The innovative design allows for flexible audiovisual distribution, management, control and interaction with the display devices which can be expanded to grow in line with project developments.

ALAV 200 typical Setup

Specification:

Video Resolutions - 1600 x 1280 at distances up to 200 metres/650 feet, 1280 x 1024 at distances up to 300 metres/1000 feet.

Extension distance - Up to 300 meters/1000 feet using CATx (x=5,5e,6,7).

Extension technology - Differential analogue signalling for video signals.

Cable Equalisation - Finely adjustable cable equalisation amplifiers enable the video sharpness and brightness to be independently adjusted using the dials on the side of the receiver units.

Integral DeSkew (AdderLink AV101R only) - Skew compensation adjustments can be made using the two rotary dials on the AdderLink AV201R receiver unit. The first dial affects the relationship between green and blue colour signals, the second red and green. The cable skew is produced due to wire length differences between different twisted pairs in a CATx cable that arise due to the different twist rates used to reduce signalling cross talk. The amount of cable skew seen depends on the cable type used and the cable length. The AdderLink AV201R provides up to 62ns of DeSkew with a fine 2ns resolution. This means that high-resolution video can be accurately DeSkewed even at long cable distances. The DeSkew supports 300MHz bandwidths, which means that the DeSkew function does not adversely affect the video quality.

Display Management via RS232 - Included with AV200 transmitters, the Display Management Software gives users control and interaction with display devices over the integrated RS232 ports. This allows for bi-directional and automated communication with individual screens, groups of screens or all screens at the same time.

Indicators - The remote and local units are fitted with two indicators; red shows the presence of power into the module, green indicates the presence of a video input.

Audio - Transmitted as digital signals to ensure high fidelity and low noise levels. Phase locked sampling clocks ensure that there are no unwanted clicks when no sound is being played.

Rack mount options - Both the local (computer-end) and remote (display-end) units may be rack mounted in the AdderLink AV Series rack mount chassis. The chassis enable 16 units (ALAV200T, 200R and 201R) or 8 units (ALAV204T and 208T to be mounted in 3U of 19-inch rack space. The units are rack mounted using the optional rack mount faceplate.
