Black Box AVX-VGA-TP-TX-8 MediaCento 8-Port VX Transmitter

Black Box AVX-VGA-TP-TX-8 MediaCento VX Transmitter, 8-Port

The MediaCento VX Extender pair (Tx + Rx) transmits VGA + Audio + Serial signals via CATx cable(s). The system is ideal for public broadcasting, exhibits, retail stores, courtrooms, stock tickers, bus stations, etc. You will need one transmitter and at least one receiver. The AVX-VGA-TP-TX-8 Transmitter is featured here.

Use ordinary copper UTP cable to distribute analog RGB video to multiple screens with the MediaCento VX system. The extender sends eight channels of VGA video, stereo audio, and serial signals 492 feet (150 m) or 1000 feet (300 m), or more than 2000 feet (609.6 m) when the distribution chain includes the family's cascadable receiver repeaters.

The transmitter and receivers install directly into an existing non-networked CATx infrastructure. There's no longer the need to pull new VGA cables to distribute video to distant monitors and displays. The system supports most common VGA resolutions, including WUXGA (1920 x 1200), Full HD (1920 x 1080), and UXGA (1600 x 1200) video on analog connectors, even at the longer distances.

MediaCento VX features a unique, user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for managing all VGA screen connections. No more fiddling with complex commands. Not only can you use the GUI to enable or disable audio/video output simply by clicking on icons, but you can also put extender devices into groups for easier control of screen connections - great for managing broadcasting and command and control applications. The MediaCento VX system automatically detects and indicates signal from the video source. You can independently turn on/off of video and audio ports.

Simply add devices to a group that you'd like to control at the same time. You can also use the icon-based menu to easily add a transmitter to a connection pattern branch, set up and remove branches from a device, copy and paste a device branch to the another device, apply settings to all extender devices, and more. For connection to a management computer, the MediaCento AVX-VGA-TP-TX-8 Transmitter includes an RJ-11 cable and RJ-11/DB9 converter for connecting via RS-232.

Long-range receivers feature advanced skew compensation, sharpness, and brightness controls, which make it easy to fine-tune the video image quality over longer CATx cable runs. A second VGA port and second 3.5-mm audio jack on the extender transmitter enable you to connect a local monitor and speakers.

The MediaCento VX system features EDID copy function and is HDCP-compliant.
