The KAT5 AVSET (MK2) comes with a KAT5 AV TX and a KAT5 AV RX unit that connects the AV output of an item of consumer electronics to another via electronically balanced signals. eg. Sky receiver, video recorder, DVD player, etc. This allows high quality audio and video signals to be distributed over low-cost cabling. The quality of the display on the receiving display is that same as would be obtained if the source device were located near the display, with no apprecible degradation of signal quality.

The KAT5 AVSET can be used for the following signal types:

S-Video plus Stereo Audio
2 Composite Video Signals plus 2 Mono Audio signals
Composite Video plus SPDIF Digital Audio plus Stereo Audio

The KAT5 AVSET allows infrared control signals to be relayed to the source equipment and also extends the SCART switching signals to the receiving display. When used in a multi-receiver enviroment, only the terminated receiver allows for infra-red control of the control equipment. When using multiple receivers a CAT5 Splitter is required to join the transitter to the two receivers
