Common Corporate Audio-Visual Applications for Baluns

Corporate facilities frequently use audio-visual baluns to distribute audio, video, VGA, DVI, HDMI, and PS2 signals throughout boardrooms, meeting rooms, and offices. Baluns and structured cabling solutions are ideal for corporate facilities.

A) A common application in corporate facilities is distributing audio and video from a DVD player, VCR, satellite, or other audio-visual device to a remote destination. Typically, a balun which supports both audio and video over a single Cat 5 cable--such as the AVO-V3AD, AVO-V1A2, or AVO-SVA2--is required.

B) Another common application in corporate facilities is routing VGA and DVI from a computer to a remote projector or plasma. Traditionally, this was an expensive, cumbersome task because high bandwidth signals require expensive, bulky cables with limited transmission distances. However, through the use of baluns, VGA and DVI transmission is extended up to 550 feet over inexpensive Cat 5 cabling--and gain and compensation ensure an extremely high quality signal.
