OVERVIEW
Component video gives a higher quality picture than compos-
ite video or S-video. Component video terminations and
cables have three separate sections: yellow, red, and blue. A
component video signal has three parts: luminance, hue and
saturation. The video signal components are separated into
different terminations or cables. The luminance information is
combined with the sync data, so that fine detail and display
data are carried along a single input or cable (Y), which is the
GREEN input. The chrominance is separated into its own
color components. The BLUE input is labeled P
B
. The RED
input is labeled P
R
.
INSTALLATION
You will need two sets of component video RCA cables and
the appropriate length of CAT-5 cable. Also recommended
are RJ45 modular wall plates mounted near the source and
near the remotely located equipment.
The modules should be adhered to a clean, flat surface close
to the connected device. Use hook and loop fastener or dou-
ble-sided foam tape.
Turn off the power and disconnect the video equipment.
Determine the length of CAT-5 cable (up to 500 feet) needed
to run between the source equipment and the remotely locat-
ed equipment. Determine where the 846C power supply will
be plugged in (will be connected to the HDTX unit). The unit
uses very little power and can be left powered on (green LED
indicates power).
At the TRANSMIT end:
The HDTX is located at the source end (DVD, cable box, etc.)
of the system. Use a triple-wire component RCA video cable
and connect the appropriate video outputs of the source to
the HDTX unit’s Blue (P
B
), Green (Y), and Red (P
R
) inputs.
For the CAT-5 connection, use a CAT-5 patch cable with RJ45
connections at each end, using the T568A wire configuration.
Run the patch cable from the HDTX to the wall plate.
Run CAT-5 cable from the back of the wall plate to the back
of the wall plate located near the remote display.

At the RECEIVE end:
The HDRX is located at the remote end (TV) of the sys-
tem. Use a triple-wire component RCA video cable and
connect the appropriate video inputs of the source to the
HDRX unit’s Blue (P
B
), Green (Y), and Red (P

) outputs.
For the CAT-5 connection, use a CAT-5 patch cable with
RJ45 connections at each end, using the T568A wire
configuration. Run the patch cable from the HDRX to the
wall plate.
Once all connections are made, power can be restored
to the system and its components.
