Setup and Installation 

 

4  Setup and Installation 

With regard to connecting the cables: 

 

We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the 

Cobra TA

 

Video / Audio Transmitter

 components before applying power. 

 

Be sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply 

with the T568B wiring specification (see Appendix A). 

4.1  Making the Connections 

This section contains figures showing connections with the specific 

Cobra 

Series models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at 

both transmitter and receiver ends is as follows: 
At the transmitter end: 

1.  Connect the source video to the 

Cobra TA

 

Series transmitter video input 

port, which is an HD15 connector labeled VIDEO INPUT. 

2.  Make your audio connections via the 1/8” (3.5mm) audio connector. 
3.  Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter. 
4.  Apply power on the transmitter. The LED should light. 

At the receiver end (refer to the receiver user manual): 

1.  Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT HD15 connector to the display unit. 
2.  Connect a 1/8” (3.5mm) audio cable to the AUDIO OUTPUT connection. 
3.  Connect the CAT5 cable to the UTP connection. 
4.  Apply power. The LED should light and video should appear on the 

display (make sure display is powered ON). 

5.  To adjust video levels see appropriate section in receiver user manual.
