HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO DISTRIBUTION VIA CAT-5e INTRODUCED FROM RUSSOUND AND THE MULTI-ROOM COMPANY
The Multi-Room Company, Cheltenham based distributor of custom installation and hi-fi products, is introducing Russound’s new VM1 Video Matrix to enable distribution of high definition component video signals in conjunction with Russound’s renowned RNET® and other multi-room audio systems.
The VM1 Video Matrix comes with a range of input options, from the standard four component source inputs and four zone outputs to a maximum of eight sources being routed to eight zones. Analogue high definition component signals up to 1080p are supported.
CAT-5e cables up to 300 feet (90m) in length can be used without signal loss and these are terminated in each of the zones by connection to a VMR1 Receiver, which is a single gang in-wall device installed in each room where component video is required. The VMR1 receives the CAT-5e cable and provides component video RCA sockets for connection to the display with a standard component video cable.
Integration with Russound’s CAM, CAV and CAA66 multiroom systems is seamless and will also integrate with other distributed audio systems via RS-232 serial control.
Doug Gale, managing director, said “Public interest and awareness of high definition video is increasing rapidly. Customers who are specifying high end multi-room distributed audio systems are leading the calls for high definition video to be available throughout their installations. Now, with the new Russound VM1, there is a solution, which meets the consumer demand and provides multi-source, multi-zone HD distribution. Once again Russound are leading the way with affordable, cutting edge technology that delivers and works.”
* Currently, the NTSC version of the VM1 also allows input of s-video and composite signals which are subsequently up converted to component signals.
