The NVT NV-3262 converts the video signals, coming from up to 32 analog BNC devices, so that they can be transmitted over UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) telephone wires. Along with color and BW video, this unit will also transmit Coaxitron (up the coax) PTZ control signals over the same UTP wire, eliminating the need to run a separate control cable.Some of the key advantages UTP has over a BNC cable is, lower cost, less bulkiness and most importantly, the ability to transmit over longer distances without suffering signal attenuation. A UTP transmitter is also an obvious choice for use in buildings already wired for UTP.
