CNX-PBVR4

 

 Professional Balanced Video Receiver

 

Ports, Controls, and Indicators 

The CNX-PBVR4 has a single LED power indicator (PWR) on the front panel to 
indicate when DC power is applied to the unit; all video signal ports and controls are 
located on the rear panel.  

NOTE:

  This unit is a non-Cresnet device. 

CNX-PBVR4 Front Panel 

 

As shown in the illustration following this paragraph, the unit’s ports and controls 
consist of four identical video I/O groups of input and output connectors and signal 
compensation potentiometers. Also located on the rear panel is the male connector 
for 24VDC input power from the supplied power pack, PW-2410. The ports and 
controls are described in the paragraphs following the illustration.  

CNX-PBVR4 Rear Panel 

 

Each of the four video I/O groups consists of an RJ45 (8-pin) connector (labeled A, 
B, C, and D), three potentiometers (labeled VIDEO INPUT COMP 1, 2, and 3), and 
four gold plated female RCA connectors (labeled VIDEO OUT 1, 2, 3, and 4). 

RJ45 Connectors 

Each connector receives up to four baseband video input signals via CAT5 cable 
from a Room Solution Box, such as the CNXRMCLV, or from a Crestron Video 
Distribution Switch, such as the CNX-PVID8x3 or CNX-PVID8x4. Three baseband 
signals can be provided by the CNX-PVID8x3 and the CNX-PVID8x4 can provide 
four. Component video—including HDTV, S-Video and/or composite video 
comprise Level 1 through Level 3 inputs. Level 4 inputs, because they are fed to 
fixed compensation circuits, are typically used for composite video or digital audio. 
The three to four baseband video signals (1 through 4) correspond to the levels 
available on the particular model of CNX-PVID used.  

Potentiometers 

Three of the video inputs in each group have potentiometers, used to adjust each 
signal independently to compensate for line loss due to lengthy CAT5 cable runs. 
The fourth input signal has fixed cable compensation. Use a small, flat blade 
screwdriver to adjust the pots following the procedures given in "Video Input 
Compensation" on
 page 7.
