VTG, a manufacturer of audio and video interfacing and cable
equipment, introduced its new cable reel, the A/V snake, at
NAB2004.
The A/V Snake has an all-welded steel
frame with four 3-inch locking casters on the bottom, making it fully
portable.
Horizon Music, Rapco International and VTG Broadcast Group will
distribute the portable A/V snake. The portable reel has one flexible
cable that contains four balanced audio lines and six 75ohm video
lines, and can be adapted for many different uses.
The A/V Snake has an all-welded steel frame with four 3-inch locking
casters on the bottom, making it fully portable. The four balanced
audio lines are 24-gauge cable and are useful when running microphones,
instruments or any other balanced audio line to a mixing board. The six
video lines are video component type cable and can be used for
projectors, monitors or any other video display. These features make
the A/V Snake an all-in-one cabling solution.
The snake features a natural coil action, which eliminates the
possibility of any kinks, snags or tangles. The user can determine the
length of cable needed based upon the size of the venue.
Key features and specifications of the A/V snake include:
100-inch or 150-inch overall cable length
Portable integrated snake reel with casters to a fan
4 XLR or 4 TRS ¼” audio lines and 6 BNC video lines
