VBC Kit Composite A/V Balun Installation Manual INTRODUCTION The VBC Composite Audio Video Balun Kit contains a pair of active circuitry (powered) baluns for sending composite video and two-channel analog audio over a single CAT-5 cable. This kit includes a transmitter and receiver and would be used in multiroom audio-video distribution systems to remotely locate an audio-video source from a distribution or display device. The benefits of using this kit are that it uses low-cost 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. The kit also uses an active buffer switch that allows a source signal to be split and shared with another system. KIT CONTENTS 5 Forbes Rd.
