Transcoding -
Video transcoding is the process of converting one video format to another. Video transcoding
is a technology brought about by the need to integrate different video formats. Video transcoding allows different
video formats to be viewed on one video monitor without changing the montor’s settings.
Both S-Video and composite video are transcoded for use with the RCA and CAT5 video drive outputs.
Component video will pass up to 200MHz video bandwidth.
CAT5 -> RCA Zone Video Conversion Modules
When distributing video using the CAT5 video drive outputs, B&K offers two
types of CAT5 -> RCA video conversion modules to convert the signal back
to standard RCA termination. The LB10W decora wall plate may be used to
mount on a wall near the video monitor. The compact LB20F traditional box
type design may rest on a shelf, be mounted behind a rack or even to the
back of the video monitor. Both modules function identically.
LB10W -
a decora wall plate conversion module may be installed
into any standard decora wall mount plate. The HD6 CAT5 video
drive cable must always connect to the Master Input on the back
of the first video conversion module. For use with additional slave
modules, the slave output from the first device must connect to
the next conversion module’s Master Input. A small flat blade
screwdriver may be used to adjust the Video EQ trim on the front
panel to match the total installed length of Category 5e cable.
LB20F-
a closed box conversion module allows for a myriad of
mounting options. The HD6 CAT5 video drive cable must always
connect to the Master Input on the back of the first video conver-
sion module. A small flat
blade screwdriver may be used to adjust the Video EQ on the front panel
to match the total length of Category 5e cable 0 to 1000 Feet.

Slave Output
For use with up to 500 feet of Category 5e cable the LB10W or
LB20F module may be powered directly from the HD6 CAT5
Video Drive cable via the modules Master Input. For use with
greater than 500 feet of category 5e cable, an external power
source of 12VDC is required.
Note: All slaved video conversion modules require an external
power supply and will not pass video unless an external
12VDC power source is connected.
Additional Slave Monitors -
the LB10W and LB20F provide RJ-45 slave outputs to connect
additional monitors displaying identical video. Simply connect the slave output of one
module to the master input of the next. Any number of monitors may be connected in this
manner so long as the total cable run from the HD6 to the last monitor does not exceed 1000
feet. LB10Ws and LB20Fs may be freely mixed in master/slave configurations. When using
the slave monitor capability, ALL LB10Ws and LB20Fs must each be individually powered.
The slave output is not active when the module is powered over CAT5 from the HD6. Nor
does the slave output provide power for the next module.
