Black Box AVU4001A Multimedia Extender LP

The AVU4001A Wizard Multimedia LP enables you to simplify the infrastructure required for video-only digital signage extension. First of all, it's USB line powered. With no bulky power transformer to the plugin, you can reduce clutter locally at the source and remotely at the display. The Wizard Multimedia Extender LP takes its power directly from a USB interface and extends that power over the link used for video, transmitting low-voltage power via a spare wiring pair to the receiver. This makes it great for digital signage in areas without abundant power outlets. It's also safer (in K - 12 school settings, for example).

Another benefit is that it uses CAT5 or higher cabling for video extension. You can use non-networked copper runs already installed in your building (shielded, foil twisted-pair [FTP] cable recommended). It eliminates the need for expensive and difficult-to-terminate VGA cables without sacrificing video quality for economy. Even at its maximum distance of 500 feet, the AVU4001A supports the transmission of full HD 1080p video on its analog VGA connectors and also features skew adjustment on the receiver for optimizing video display sharpness. Adjust a screw to get a high-contrast image and reduce shadowing on your image. (NOTE: For cable runs greater than 164 feet, low-skew cable may also be required to prevent video color distortion.)

For optimum video card to display communications, the AVU4001A transmitter holds a number of Display Data Channel (DDC) standards that are suitable for most display types. If your display's resolution and characteristics aren't found, you can temporarily connect the transmitter to the display to emulate and store the necessary DDC information in the unit.

As a plug-and-play hardware solution, the Wizard Multimedia LP includes both a transmitter and receiver and there's no special software to install.
