steve@soundbp.com Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi All, Interested to know what VGA over CAT5 systems people have used or are using. What systems have you had most success from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Edwards Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have Databay's 301 series. I've had it a few years without issue. I use F/UTP CAT5e along the walls (as it were) and then ready made Neutrik ended interconnectors to get to the final location as it is nice and flexible. I'm running it about 150m max so well inside the top resolution specs. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.calder Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 We have used Extron MTP and Magenta Research for a number of years. I prefer the extron stuff over Magenta primarily from a build quality stand point. One of the MTP ranges receivers also has a neat set of LED's on the front that tell you what type of signal you are getting to the receiver which makes troubleshooting SOOO much easier.

top-cat Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I don't know if I am being 'simple' but I have always had good fortune in Lindy products. They are more expensive than similar looking devices you can find on ebay or CPC, but I have always found them to be good quality over long distances and fairly robust units too. In a previous install we had VGA over Cat5 and USB over Cat 5 on Lindy boxes with about 140m of cable in between and faultless interaction between all the devices, albeit we were not running the media server in HD but that was more about it's own processing than that of the Cat5 system.

grizzly Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We've used the ADDERLink AV Series for a long while now, specifically the ALAV104T and ALAV101R, and always had good results with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllieDuff Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Kramer TP-110. Rock solid and reliable, can easily get consistent 1920x1080 analogue down 120+ metres of installed UTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
