Channel Vision HDTV Extender

Channel Vision's new, easy-to-install solutions for zero-loss HDTV and household audio distribution were introduced to electric design and installation professionals and included some interesting new products.

The P-1400 is the first zero-loss video extender under $300 for transmitting the highest possible video and audio clarity from a signal source to a display source. It's easy to install and expandable up to 164 feet. The P-1400 consists of two components, an 82-foot cable (25 meters) and an electronics module. Embedded with Channel Vision's proprietary technology, these components equal one powerful, universal product. A pre-tuned amplifier, the P-1400 provides connections for component video, s-video and composite video, and a shielded stereo for analog audio signals, IR signals or 12-volt triggers.

"The P-1400 is the first truly affordable product to deliver 100 percent HDTV signal clarity," said Darrel Hauk, president and CEO of Channel Vision. "P-1400 is for consumers who desire and demand optimum video. Other solutions create artifacts, whereas the P-1400 outputs exactly what you put in, 1080i HDTV."

The P-1400 interfaces seamlessly with projectors as well as all HDTV plasma and LCD Screens. The module fits a 19" rack or structured wire enclosures from Channel Vision Technology and a variety of other manufacturers. You can also remove the snap-locks and attach it to any flat surface. The cable fits 1-inch conduit and has an attached pull-cable loop.

"Unlike similar products, the P-1400's circuitry is designed to compensate for the signal losses inherent in the proprietary cable that is included," said Hauk. "The signal that goes into the P-1400 is identical to the signal that comes out. Consumers get what they paid for: HDTV quality."

Pairing the P-1014 1x4 A-BUS Distribution M odule and the P-0925 Paging M odule means designers and installers can provide homeowners with a complete, efficient and affordable whole-house music and communication system that is also easy to install.

"This versatile hub is the heart of an A-BUS multi-room audio system," said Hauk. "It is a perfect companion for in-ceiling speakers."

Channel Vision's P-0925 Paging M odule integrates seamlessly with Channel Vision's P-1014 1 X 4 ABUS Distribution M odule to provide efficient and affordable whole-house paging. The unit's form factor allows the paging module to be mounted in a structured wiring enclosure, 19" rack, or attached to any flat surface.
