Digital Signage Technology Tip: Using VGA over CAT5
Posted on Tue, December 22, 2009
Are you concerned with placing media players at the screens for security or service reasons? Are you looking for ways to deploy multiple screens and looking for an economical way to do it?
The solution to both questions is looking to a VGA to CAT5 system. This is NOT using your network or streaming video. This is where you use point to point or a home run cables from a broadcaster located in a secure server room to each display location. By doing this you have moved the media player from behind the screen where it could be challenging to access and service and placed it in the safety and security of your server room. By centrally locating your media player you can now also take advantage of a multi-port broadcaster that will split that signal to multiple screens thus saving you money on software licenses and media players.
