Multi-Channel AVC Active
Receiver Hubs Installation
Sheet
Introduction
GE Security Multi-Channel AVC Active Receiver Hubs are advanced devices that
feature Automatic Video Compensation (AVC) technology. AVC incorporates a
sophisticated microprocessor controlled analog circuit that continuously
analyzes incoming video signals and compensates for cable attenuation
independent of video signal content. It provides high-resolution color or black
and white video over unshielded twisted pair wires of category 2-7, at distances
up to 6,000 feet (1,830 m) when used with any GE Active Transmitter. It can be
used with any GE Passive Transceiver for distances up to 3,500 feet (1,067 m).
The 8 channel models provide 1 to 4 distribution amplifiers while the 16 channel
models include 1 to 2 distribution amplifiers.
These receiver hubs are 1U in height and can be wall, desk or rack mounted.
Their integrated ground loop isolation prevents disturbing "hum-bars" common
with long distance installations. Their excellent crosstalk and noise immunity
provides quality video up to the maximum distance. Each UTP channel is
equipped with a video presence LED indicator and has built-in surge suppression.
The included RJ-45 adapters provide an easy way to connect active hubs to
other GE VPD products via Cat-5 cables and RJ-45 connectors.
The Active receivers are unidirectional and do not support Up-the-Coax
Pan/Tilt/Zoom telemetry signals. Any unused pair of UTP cable can be used for
transporting telemetry signals.
