Introduction, cont’d Introduction Extron’s CAT 5 transmitters provide long-distance distribution of RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and stereo audio over shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The minimum reliable transmission distance is 50 feet. The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and resolution.
Introduction, cont’d Extron’s Under Desk Mounting Kit (part #70-077-01) or Through Desk Mounting Kit (part #70-077-02). CAT 5 Transmitters CAT 5 T AV Video input — Accepts composite video on an RCA jack. Alternately, the composite video channel can support digital audio. Audio input — Accepts stereo audio on two RCA jacks. RJ-45 connector — Allows connection to an Extron CAT 5 composite video receiver.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Jumpers To install and set up a CAT 5 transmitter and the associated CAT 5 receiver(s) for operation, perform the following steps: 1 2 3 The two RGB video transmitters and the two computer transmitters can be configured to transmit component video, S-video, or composite video. Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
Installation and Operation, cont’d Grounding the transmitter In certain conditions, RGB and computer video transmitters may need to be grounded to ensure the video and audio are not degraded. Grounding may be required for the CAT 5 T 15HD, CAT 5 T 15HD AV, and CAT 5 T BNC if all of the following conditions are true: • The signal source is a laptop computer. • No local monitor is connected. • A local power supply is not being used.
Installation and Operation, cont’d For component video, use the R (R-Y) and R return pins (pins 1 and 6), G (Y) and G return pins (pins 2 and 7), and B (B-Y) and B return pins (pins 3 and 8). For S-video, use the R, R return, B, and B return pins. For composite video, use the R, G, or B and the associated return pins. 2 Input only analog, line level, audio signals on these connectors.

In addition, the CAT 5 T 15HD A and CAT 5 T 15HD AV (figure 2-10) have horizontal shift control. IF cable measurement indicates that the pair with wires 1 and 2 is three feet shorter than the other signals...
Installation and Operation, cont’d 7. The transmission distance may be too far for remote power. Try connecting the local 15V power supply to the transmitter. 8. The transmission distance may be too short. Ensure that the UTP cable is at least 50 feet long. 9. If the Manual/Auto switch is in the manual position, ensure that the receiver’s level controls are not set too high. Too much level and peaking can cause display problems. 10.
