Stereo Balun with Video (IC569A)
Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The Stereo Balun with Video (IC569A) allows a single composite video signal to be
transmitted via unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable up to 2,200 ft (670m) in a point-to-
point connection. The IC569A features full audio bandwidth response for high fidelity
applications and features built-in color-coded cable leads for ease of installation. The
IC569A also works in conjunction with Black Box’s Audio-Video Distribution Hub (p/n
IC445A) to allow composite video programming to be distributed via UTP. Applications
include; classroom video distribution, commercial and home audio/video systems, hospital
video training, video conferencing, and video kiosks.
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. One (1) twisted pair is required for
composite video and two (2) twisted pairs are required for stereo analog audio.
The pin configuration follows the EIA/TIA 568A/B standard. The IC569A is
reverse polarity sensitive. Please ensure that wiring is straight-through (Ring to
Ring, Tip to Tip).
