Component Video
Installation Manual
INTRODUCTION
The VBHD Component Video Balun Kit contains a pair of
active circuitry (powered) baluns for sending component
video over a single CAT-5 cable. This kit includes a transmit-
ter and receiver and would be used to distribute video from a
central source to a remotely located video device.
The benefits of using this kit are that it uses low-costs CAT-5
cable, plus it eliminates ground loops, which may occur when
remotely locating sources from displays. Ground loops are
seen as lateral "hum" bars scrolling on the display and an
audible hum in the audio.
