Operating Principle

The VGA screen, keyboard and mouse/trackball data are united and transmitted via a data cable to the Challenger I Dust.

There is no special graphics adapter required, but we recommend the use of high-quality adapter cards, because the image quality might be affected otherwise. The connecting line should not be moved.

The specially developed electronics in the transmitting unit and the components allows distances of up to 500m or 325m respectively and more (at lower resolution and refresh frequency).
