The Minicom 0VS22011 is a CAT5 Video Display Broadcaster which is just one piece
of the Minicom Video Display System. The VDS is the quickest, most efficient
way to move multimedia content from player to multiple displays. A one-to-many,
point-to-multi-point system for transmission of high quality video (VDS) or audio
and video (AVDS), the system distributes rich multimedia content in real-time from
any type of player to multiple display devices.
Minicom's VDS provides the flexibility you need for a customized digital signage
installation, allowing you to position your display devices up to 110m/360ft from
the player. Mount displays strategically in public view; keep the hardware needed
to run multimedia content out of public reach. VDS is one of the more cost
effective ways to get a digital signage system up and running in your place of business.
For large displays, the cost of plasmas with built-in CPU can be prohibitive. A
dedicated, out-of-band system like the VDS lowers the cost of displays significantly.
The VDS Remote Dual Screen (sold separately) provides simultaneous support for
two display units at the same location. The VDS Remote Dual Screen lets you
double the monitors in the system and saves on CAT5 cable and installation costs.
Like the VDS Remote, it can be connected to either a VDS Broadcaster or VDS Line
Splitter and receives its power from the CAT5 cable.
*The Minicom 0VS22011 Broadcaster does not require shielded CAT5 cable, however
it is recommended.
The Minicom VDS consists of the following components (all sold separately):
- Broadcaster/Transmitter (8 port) and Compact Control Unit
- Line Splitter (8 port)
- Remote for every display device
