Quick Start Guide
AutoPatch CatPro RGBHV+Stereo Mod
ules
Overview
CatPro RGBHV+Stereo Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) Modules work together or
work in conjunction with CatPro RGBHV+Stereo boards on an AMX AutoPatch
Distribution Matrix. This guide contains complete information for stand-alone use.
For use with a distribution matrix, see the distribution matrix’s instruction manual on
the
AMX AutoPatch CD
or visit

.
Specifications
*
When used with an AutoPatch Distribution Matrix, overall cable length cannot exceed 1,000 ft. (305 m).
Module Installation
Note:
The modules shown have audio connectors. They are also available without audio.
Important:
Always use a UL approved power source. Check the power source’s
documentation for information specific to that power source.
To attach source device connectors & power to the TX Module:
1.
Insert the audio mini-jack (3.5 mm) and the HD-15 connector into the Audio In
and the Video In connectors.
2.
Insert the RJ-45 connector into the UTP/STP Out receptacle.
3.
Plug the power cord* into the power jack and into the power source.
4.
Optional – To use the Local Out option, insert the audio mini-jack and the HD-15
connector into the Local Out connectors.
* If you use the (optional) AutoPatch wall transformer, the side of the wire with the
white stripe is positive and the other side is ground.
To attach destination device connectors & power to the RX Module:
1.
Insert the HD-15 connector and wire the audio connector (unbalanced).
2.
Insert the RJ-45 connector into the UTP/STP In receptacle.
3.
Plug the power cord* into the power jack and into the power source.
4.
If the destination display needs adjusting, see the “Adjusting the Picture” topic.
TX & RX HD-15 Pinouts
HD-15 connectors on TX and RX Modules use the pinouts in FIG. 3.
Note:
55 mA supplied on output pin 9; power draw not to exceed 50 mA per port.
System Setup
A typical setup using CatPro RGBHV+Stereo TX and RX Modules is illustrated in
FIG. 4. The signals are sent to a monitor with speakers at a distance, as well as to a
local monitor with speakers.
