About KD-PVBP
➔
Transmits or Receives real-time Color or Black & White video
➔
Extends Black & White video up to 2,600 ft using a standard CAT cable when
used with an Active Receiver (Key Digital models KD-AUVRX or KD-4AUVRX).
➔
Extends Black & White video up to 1,300 ft using a standard CAT cable when
paired with a Passive Transmitter Balun (Key Digital models KD-PVBVP or
KD-4PUV).
➔
Extends Color video up to 2,000 ft using a standard CAT cable when used with
an Active Receiver (Key Digital models KD-AUVRX or KD-4AUVRX).
➔
Extends Color video up to 1,000 ft using a standard CAT cable when paired with
a Passive Transmitter Balun (Key Digital models KD-PVB or KD-4PUV).
➔
Extends power for cameras / source devices up to 1,000 ft using a standard
CAT cable
➔
Compatible with CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 cabling
Installation and Operation
Before permanently securing the unit for final installation of
cabling behind walls or ceilings, test for proper operation of the
unit and the cables in your system.
Video Connections
➔
Secure video input/output connections by locking KD-PVBVP BNC connectors
with source and display devices
➔
Insert CAT5/6/7 cable into RJ-45 connector on each balun. For pin-out, please
see “Pin Assignment for KD-PVBVP”
Power Connections
➔
KD-PVBVP will transmit/receive power in addition to video signals. When
extending power over CAT cabling voltage naturally decreases as cable runs
increase. Please see “Voltage Drop Reference Chart” below to ensure that you
are sending adequate voltage for your application.

Uses with Passive Multi-Channel Receivers
➔
KD-PVBVP units can be paired with Key Digital’s KD-4PUV 4-Channel Passive
Video Receiver Hub as part of a multi-camera CCTV system. Using the KD-PVB
with the KD-4PUV Passive Hub will provide equivalent distances as when coupled
with KD-PVBVP Passive Receiver Balun; 1,300 feet. However, this configuration
will not support the extension of power over CAT cabling.
Uses with Active Receivers & Active Multi-Channel Receivers
➔
KD-PVBVP units can be coupled with an Active Receiver (Key Digital model KD-
AUVRX) or an Active Multi-Channel Receiver (Key Digital model KD-4AUVRX) in
your application. Coupling a KD-PVBVP Passive Transmitter with the KD-AUVRX
Active Receiver Balun or KD-4AUVRX Active 4-Channel Receiver will provide
quality video up to 2,600 ft. However, this configuration will not support the
extension of power over CAT cabling.
Note: The usage of a KD-PVBVP balun to receive video signals from an Active Transmitter
(Key Digital model KD-AUVTX) is not recommended. For best results, it is recommended
that the KD-PVBVP Passive Video Balun be used as the Transmitter, while the KD-AUVRX or
KD-4AUVRX Active Video Receiver Baluns be used as the Receiver.
