Hi Ian,

If you use the passive baluns you will need a distribution amp to drive=20
two sets
otherwise the output of your source equipment will be double terminated=20
and the
video levels will be incorrect.

If your source has two separate outputs then the above doesnt apply.

KAT5 transmitters have switchable input termination allowing multiple
transmitters to be connected to the same piece of source equipment without
=
the
need for a distribution amplifier. Using individual transmitters means=20
you only
need a single cable to a room.

Hope that helps

Keith
