The Wizard Multimedia LP enables you to simplify the infrastructure required for video-only digital signage extension.

First of all, it's USB line powered. With no bulky power transformer to plug in, you can reduce clutter locally at the source and remotely at the display. The Wizard Multimedia Extender LP takes its power directly from a USB interface and extends that power over the link used for video, transmitting low-voltage power via a spare wiring pair to the receiver. This makes it great for digital signage in areas without abundant power outlets. It's also safer (in K-12 school settings, for example).

Another benefit is it uses CAT5 or higher cabling for video extension. You can use non-networked copper runs already installed in your building (shielded, foil twisted-pair [FTP] cable recommended). It eliminates the need for expensive and and difficult-to-terminate VGA cables without sacrificing video quality for economy.
