The VE500 A/V Over Cat 5 Extender system is designed to integrate seamlessly into installations with the ATEN VM0808T Cat 5 A/V Matrix Switch. With ATEN’s exclusive Deskew technology, the VE500 allows you to extend the distance between the A/V source and the display monitor by up to 150m with a resolution of 1600x1200 (for the VE500R), or up to 300m with a resolution of 1280x1024 (for the VE500RQ).

It is able to accomplish this by means of a local transmitting unit (the VE500T), connected to the remote receiving unit (either the VE500R or VE500RQ), using Cat 5e twisted pair cable. Because it allows access to the audio/video/ RS-232 source over large distances, the VE500 is ideal for installations such as construction sites, factory floors, control and security centers, where the system equipment can reside in a safe and secure location, while the display is conveniently located in public view.

To provide optimum video quality over large distances, the VE500RQ supports RGB delay tuner functionality – allowing you to manually synchronize the RGB signals. It also provides a line synchronization function that corrects color phase and timing errors that occur over long distance transmissions, and stores the settings.
