Overview - CatX AV receivers
CatX AV receivers provide a flexible solution for outputting VGA video + Audio over Cat5/6 UTP cable
up to either 150m or 300m .
The
CatX AV Rx receiver can be used for distances up to 150m
The
CatXQ AV Rx receiver can be used for distances up to 300m
An external power supply is required for both types of
AV receivers
. Please refer to the ‘
External
power
’ section in the technical specification at the end of this manual.
CatX AV receivers are Video and
audio compatible with CatX Mini AV and VP transmitters and receivers.
Connecting the AV receiver to your transmitter (Tx) unit
Connect your AV receiver to the transmitter using correctly terminated Cat5/6 UTP cable (refer to the
Termination of UTP Cable section of this manual).
Power options for your AV receiver unit
An external 5V PSU (part no: PS-5V1A-1.3-** ) is required to power each AV receiver.
Please Note: If any outputs of a CatX AVP Tx4 or Tx8 unit are connected to AV receiver units, it is
possible to power the transmitter using a USB power lead connected to any suitable USB port.
Audio
An audio source will only be output by your AV receiver if it is connected to a CatX Mini AV Tx
transmitter or an AVP transmitter that has AV mode selected on the Cat5/6 output. A stereo audio
speaker can be connected to the unit, using one of the audio output sockets on the CatX AV receiver.
Connecting multiple AV receivers in series
CatX AV receivers have an input and output for Cat5/6 UTP cable. This allows multiple AV receivers to
be connected in series. Every AV receiver is also a transmitter, allowing the distance from any VGA and
audio source to be extended up to 2000m . This allows greater flexibility in planning your extender
system beyond 300m .
The maximum overall distance from the source transmitter to the final receiver unit should not exceed
2000m .
150m and 300m AV receivers may be mixed together in series. The distance between the transmitter,
first AV receiver unit and each subsequent receiver is either 150m or 300m, depending on the type of
each receiver unit in the daisy-chain.
CatX AV receivers are completely video and audio compatible with CatX Mini transmitters and
receivers. A CatX mini transmitter can be connected to an AV receiver and a CatX Mini receiver can be
used as the final receiver in a daisy-chain of multiple AV receivers. CatX Mini VP receivers will require
an external power supply if connected to an AV receiver.
