VideoEase Component Video Balun (500021)
Installation Guide
Introduction
The VideoEase Component Video Balun allows a single component video signal
(Y, Pb, or Pr) to be transmitted via cost-effective unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cable. Three (3) balun pairs are required for one point-to-point component (YPbPr)
video connection. The product allows three coaxial cables to be replaced by one
Category 5 twisted pair cable allowing standard structured cabling techniques to be
used for neater and more streamlined cabling. The Component Video Balun is
compact enough to allow three (3) units to be connected side by side on the back of
the component video equipment.
Installation
Component Video (YPbPr) Connection:
Three (3) pairs of Component Video Baluns (six baluns) are needed to complete one
component (YPbPr) connection via Cat5 twisted pair. To install the VideoEase
Component Video Baluns, perform the following steps:
1.
Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. One twisted pair is required. The
Component Video Balun is reverse polarity sensitive. Please ensure that wiring
is straight-through (Ring to Ring, Tip to Tip)

The Component Video Balun works in pairs. For each component signal (Y or
Pb or Pr), plug one balun into the component video output (coaxial) of the
video source.
