What is A/V over Twisted-Pair cabling, and how is it different from traditional signal management?
A/V over twisted-pair is the transmission and distribution of audio, video, and control signals over wiring traditionally used for data networking and IP telephone systems. This wiring is commonly known as UTP, or unshielded twisted-pair. Special interfacing equipment is needed to send video and audio signals over UTP wiring. UTP-based A/V systems are appealing for many applications because they offer numerous advantages in terms of implementation and cost, and deliver performance comparable to systems using RGB coaxial cabling.
