compensation for cable length. Signal skew occurs when part of the signal is 
delayed with respect to other signal components. The amount of skew largely 
depends on the length and design of the wire. Because CAT5 consists of twisted 
pairs that are twisted together in the cable, unequal wire lengths are created.  

The maximum aggregate cable length from QM transmitter to QM receiver is 
limited by the loss of bandwidth over long distances and the amount of available 
skew compensation. A cable rated at 15 ns of skew per 100 meters (328 ft.) 
means that a cable will have no more than a 15 ns difference between the fastest 
and slowest RGB signals over 100 meters of cable. 

To determine the allowable maximum length of installed cable, the installer 
must first perform a calculation based on the skew rating of the cable. The use of 
low-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested with 
the sources to be used. In any case, the maximum aggregate cable length should 
be limited to 328 feet to prevent loss of bandwidth.  

Skew compensation is primarily relevant to RGB sources; however, any/all 
video or VGA signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of 
cable. This phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of longer 
cable lengths, and is not particular to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia 
systems. To ensure sufficient bandwidth to support signal resolutions up to  
1600 x 1200, the maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 328 feet. 
The use of lower-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must 
be tested by the installer with the sources to be used. 

The pin assignment is based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard. The 
following table illustrates how composite, S-video, and RGB video signals are 
transmitted over the CAT5E wire. Refer to page 10 for additional QuickMedia 
network wiring information.

Part Number Compatibility 

Due to production changes, some earlier QM-RMCRX devices are not 
compatible with QM-TX devices.  

To ensure compatibility between a QM-RMCRX and QM-TX, The  
QM-RMCRX Part Number must be 6002432 or above.  

NOTE:

 Part numbers can be found on the silver label affixed to each device. 

If you have a part that is not compatible with your existing equipment, contact 
Crestron's Customer Support Group for replacement information.
