avassets new products HDMI CONVERTER TVOne newest format converter, the 1T-FC-326, allows the user to take either of two HDMI inputs and convert it to Component video. Very wide video bandwidth ensures that the analog output is capable of showing the fine detail present in most HDMI signals. The audio output includes Coaxial Digital and Analog Stereo (R/L) that is de-embedded from the HDMI digital signal stream. The 1T-FC-326 is compliant with HDMI 1.2a, HDCP 1.1, and DVI 1.0. It supports all HDTV and SDTV resolutions. The unit may be operated from the front panel buttons or the IR remote control. It accommodates cables with either standard or locking type connectors. U.S. list price is $289. Visit www.tvone.com. DOCUMENT CAMERA Vaddio is releasing the new CeilingVIEW SD integrated ceiling document camera. The new system offers not only a higher optical zoom, but also High Speed Differential Signaling (HSDS) to transport video, power, and control signals from the camera system to the Quick-Connect CV SD interface up to 400 feet using standard Cat-5 cable. The SD camera is based on a Sony EXview HAD CCD imaging sensor. The 36x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom offer 432x total zoom capability — ideal for corporate boardrooms, auditoriums, teaching hospitals, distance-learning applications, or wherever a clear, standard definition image is required. U.S. list price is $2,295. Visit www.vaddio.com. CAT5 EXTENDER QVS is introducing the VC5-1P VGA/QXGA CAT 5 extender kit, which requires power from either the transmitter or the receiver end only. Single end power solves the problem of many installations where power is not available at both ends. The VC5-1P is designed to support maximum 2048x1536 resolution at 60 Hz up top 50 meters, and 1280x1024 resolution up to 80 meters. Visit www.QVS.com.
