Homeowners - The AVAtrix is perfect for sending your favorite media from a central location to anywhere around your home. Simply plug your sources into the AVAtrix, run the Cat 5 cables to where you want to watch TV, connect the Wallplates, and select what you'd like to watch. It keeps electronic clutter out of sight while delivering pristine high definition anywhere you want it. Note: While the AVAtrix is ideal for new construction or an existing home, it does require special knowledge and tools to install. We suggest you contact a local custom home installation specialist. Many installation specialists are members of the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association and can be located through the CEDIA website.

Integrators - This is your ticket to quicker, simpler, headache-free installations. Two Cat 5 cables are all you need - they do the work of six coaxial cable runs plus provide an IR pathway for source control. Balanced line technology allows for superior noise rejection and excellent picture quality. The AVX-561-NR is perfectly suited for home use, restaurant television distribution, digital signage, even retail demonstrations of HDTV.
