Installation Guide
Introduction
The Quad Video Baluns allows up to four (4) composite video signals to be
transmitted via unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable in a point-to-point connection.
Used in pairs, the Quad Video Balun eliminates up to four (4) coaxial cables, allowing
audio-video equipment to be connected via space-efficient and cost-effective
Category 5 twisted pair cable. The Quad Video Balun also works in conjunction with
other Black Box composite video baluns such as the IC440A and IC444A.
Installation
One (1) pair of baluns support four (4) composite video signals or one (1) component
video (YPbPr) and one (1) composite video signal via Cat5 twisted pair. To install the
baluns, perform the following steps:
1.
Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. Four (4) twisted pairs are required
if all four (4) signals are transmitted. The pin configuration follows the EIA/TIA
568A/B standard. The Quad Video Balun is reverse polarity sensitive. Please
ensure that wiring is straight-through (Ring to Ring, Tip to Tip).
2.
At the video source end, connect a Quad Video Balun to the video output using
the appropriate number of RCA or BNC-terminated cables.
