PBE-301 Sender - Composite Video & Stereo Audio

PBE-301 Sender PBE-301 Sender

The Sourcerer system sends video and stereo audio signals over CAT-5 structured cable for distances of up to 2km, maintaining excellent signal quality with minimal degredation. It is a send/receive system, employing a driver at the source of the signal and a receiver at the destination.

As well as carrying video and audio to the destination, infra red control signals are carried from the destination to the source to provide distant remote control of equipment such as a VTR.

The Sourcerer takes advantage of the widespread use of CAT-5 structured cable for telecom and computer applications and avoids the need for costly and disruptive video and audio cable runs. Both UTP unshielded and STP shielded twisted pair CAT-5 cables are suitable. Video and stereo audio can be transmitted over distances of up to 2 kilometres, and the standard configuration provides for links of between 150m and 450m.

The PBE-301S single-channel sender accepts composite video and unbalanced stereo audio for distribution over CAT-5 to a PBE-301R receiver. Infra red signals sent from the receiver to the PBE-301S sender are made available to drive an LED IR emitter to control source equipment local to the driver, such as a VTR or switcher. Using a learning hand-held control, someone watching material on a monitor adjacent to the receiver can send commands to control the signal source close to the driver.
