Combination
Technologies
When
considering your digital signage requirements
with the advantages and drawbacks of
each of the technologies available, it
is frequently advisable to use a combination
of technologies for optimal performance
at the lowest possible cost.
Fibre
Optic and CAT5 Cable
When dealing with high-resolution
media over large distances that must be broadcast
to a group of displays, a combination of Fibre
optic and CAT5 cable
is the optimal solution.
In this case, Fibre optic cable
is used for distance broadcasting together with
a local CAT5 video broadcaster for "splitting"
the broadcast to the various displays. This
is a simple solution to install, since
all that is needed is to connect the Fibre optic
receiver with the CAT5 video broadcaster. Additionally
the use of CAT5 cable for the last 50-150 meters/150-500
feet of cabling instead of Fibre optic cable can
provide significant savings.
