S-Video/Hi-Fi Balun (IC568A)
Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The S-Video/Hi-Fi Balun allows one S-Video signal and one hi-fidelity stereo audio
channel to be transmitted via unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable in a point-to-point
connection for more versatile cabling. Used in pairs, the S-Video/Hi-Fi Balun
eliminates costly and bulky S-Video and audio cable, allowing S-Video equipment to
be connected or moved to any convenient modular outlet. The S-Video/Hi-Fi Balun
also works in conjunction with Black Box’s Audio/Video Distribution Hub (IC445A)
to allow S-Video programming to be distributed via UTP. Applications include;
classroom video distribution, commercial and home audio/video systems.
Installation
One (1) pair of baluns are needed to complete one composite stereo audio -video
connection via Cat5 twisted pair. To install the baluns, perform the following steps:
1.
Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. Two (2) twisted pairs are required
for S-Video and two (2) twisted pairs are required for stereo analog audio. The
pin configuration follows the EIA/TIA 568A/B standard. The Stereo Hi-Fi
Video Balun is reverse polarity sensitive. Please ensure that wiring is straight-
through (Ring to Ring, Tip to Tip).
2.
Plug one (1) balun into the S-Video/stereo audio output of the video source
according to the color code of the RCA cable leads.
3.
Plug the second balun into the S-Video/Hi-Fi Balun input of the video screen or
receiver at the remote end.
