Key Features
The 718 is a twisted pair (TP) receiver for composite video and unbalanced stereo audio signals. The 718 receives a twisted pair signal from the 717 transmitter and converts it back to composite video and unbalanced stereo audio. Bandwidth: 6.4MHz.
Inputs: 1 twisted pair on an RJ45 connector (718). Outputs: 1 composite video, 1Vpp/75 on a BNC connector, 1 unbalanced stereo audio, 16Vpp/10k on two RCA connectors (718).
Power Connect System: A single connection to the transmitter or the receiver powers both units when the devices are within 150ft (50m) of each other.
System Range: 71805 up to 500m (1640ft), 71810 up to 1000m (3280ft) & 71815 up to 1500m (4920ft). Automatic Audio and Video Equalization (EQ) Control.
Cable: UTP (unshielded twisted pair) or STP (shielded twisted pair) such as CAT 5 (not included).
