3.2.1 Adjusting the video quality for long cable runs
The video quality at the remote station depends on: (1) the length of the
CAT5 cable, (2) video resolution setting, (3) refresh rate setting and the
model of the receiver.
In general, at low and mid resolutions, excellent image reproduction is
provided at up to 1000 feet for UVA-16X and UV232-16X models
(500 feet for model UV1-S-16X). At high resolution and refresh rates
perfect image reproduction can be achieved at shorter distances (see
table below). Using longer cables or higher resolution rates will still
produce an image, but the reproduction quality will be reduced.
