Costa Mesa, Calif., July 5, 2005 - Channel Vision’s new, easy-to-install solutions for zero-loss HDTV and household audio distribution will be introduced to electric design and installation professionals during CEDIA EXPO 2005, Sept. 7 – 11 at the Indiana Convention Center & RCA Dome in Indianapolis Ind.

Channel Vision is a leading manufacturer of RF video distribution products, security cameras, high performance audio and video distribution systems, and structured wiring enclosures and modules. Grabbing the spotlight in Channel Vision’s booth this year are several new products including the:

P-1400 Zero- Loss Video Extender

P-1420 Zero-Loss Matrix Switcher

P-1014 A-Bus Distribution Module

P-0925 Paging Module

Designer Enclosure Doors

IR Line of Products

The P-1400 is the first zero-loss video extender under $300 for transmitting the highest possible video and audio clarity from a signal source to a display source. It’s easy to install and expandable up to 164 feet. The P-1400 consists of two components, an 82-foot cable (25 meters) and an electronics module. Embedded with Channel Vision’s proprietary technology, these components equal one powerful, universal product. A pre-tuned amplifier, the P-1400 provides connections for component video, s-video and composite video, and a shielded stereo for analog audio signals, IR signals or 12-volt triggers.

"The P-1400 is the first truly affordable product to deliver 100 percent HDTV signal clarity,” said Darrel Hauk, president and CEO of Channel Vision. “P-1400 is for consumers who desire and demand optimum video. Other solutions create artifacts, whereas the P-1400 outputs exactly what you put in, 1080i HDTV."

The P-1400 interfaces seamlessly with projectors as well as all HDTV plasma and LCD Screens. The module fits a 19” rack or structured wire enclosures from Channel Vision Technology and a variety of other manufacturers. You can also remove the snap-locks and attach it to any flat surface. The cable fits 1-inch conduit and has an attached pull-cable loop.

"Unlike similar products, the P-1400’s circuitry is designed to compensate for the signal losses inherent in the proprietary cable that is included,” said Hauk. “The signal that goes into the P-1400 is identical to the signal that comes out. Consumers get what they paid for: HDTV quality."


Channel Vision’s new P-1014 1 x 4 A-BUS Hub combines punchdown and RJ-45 connection versatility. A single source distribution module, the P-1014 delivers power and audio signals to four amplified keypads, and has four emitter outputs that relay IR signals. The P-1014 easily interfaces with input devices such as CD and MP3 players, AM/FM radios and satellite tuners. Adding Channel Vision’s telephone intercom system provides whole-house paging through the system’s speakers.

Pairing the P-1014 1x4 A-BUS Distribution Module and the P-0925 Paging Module means designers and installers can provide homeowners with a complete, efficient and affordable whole-house music and communication system that is also easy to install.

"This versatile hub is the heart of an A-BUS multi-room audio system," said Hauk. "It is a perfect companion for in-ceiling speakers. "

Channel Vision’s P-0925 Paging Module integrates seamlessly with Channel Vision’s P-1014 1 X 4 ABUS Distribution Module to provide efficient and affordable whole-house paging. The unit’s form factor allows the paging module to be mounted in a structured wiring enclosure, 19" rack, or attached to any flat surface.


Channel Vision continues to pave the innovation highway with the introduction of a new line of IR products. The line includes the:

IR-4000: IR Coax Engine

"Distributed audio is quickly becoming one of the most frequently requested upgrades for new homes," said Hauk. "Our products allow users to enjoy whole house music while allowing household occupants to control the music from any room in the house."


The Channel Vision booth will also be showing its new designer doors for 28", 38" and 50" structured wire enclosures. The doors:

Offer left-hand or right-hand swing out for maximum versatility

Provide more space in the enclosure

Enable maximum airflow via top and bottom vents

Can be installed with an optional fan for even greater efficiency.

"Our enclosure doors offer a sleek, polished finish for any installation," said Hauk, "but they also have many functional advantages."
