PREFACE
The video twisted-pair receiver TR 101 is a
correction amplifier with symmetrical input and the
standard asymmetrical video output. It is mounted
in ABS casing. The numerous trimmers help to
adjust the input impedance, symmetry, linear gain
and rough or fine gain adjustment at different
frequencies. There are LED1 and LED2 which
indicate the power-on and the video signal error in
the video input of the receiver.
FEATURES
•small dimensions
•AC/DC power supply
•low power consumption
•over-voltage protection
•max. +60 dB gain at 5 MHz
BLOCK DIAGRAM
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The input stage enables the setting of the input
impedance and symmetry.
The minimal high frequency gain is 6 dB and the
high frequency attenuation should be switched-on
at short distances.
The next two stages enable the linear gain
adjustment and the square-wave response
adjustment. There follow the filter stages with
sixteen switches and their adequate elements for
the fine adjustment with total gain from +6 to +60
dB.
In the end there are the low-pass filter and the
clamping circuit with the indication of power-on
(the green LED) and the video-signal-error
indication (the red LED).
With the help of the output stage the standard
video output with the impedance of 75 ohm is
achieved.
The power is supplied by connecting to the AC or
DC power supply unit.

CONNECTIONS
•Be sure to switch-off the power supply unit
before connecting to other equipment.
•Also refer to the instruction manual of the
equipment to be connected.

INSTALLATION
(1) Set the trimmer TP2 to the middle position.
(2) Set the trimmer TP3 to the middle position.
(3) Set the trimmer TP4 to the left.
(4) Switch-off SW1-SW15, SW16 switch-on.
(5) Set TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4 to the minimal capacitance.
(6) In the Table 1 select the CABLE (insulation, impedance ZL, loss a5MHz /km)and calculate the cable loss
a5MHz. (see Example 1 and Example 2)
(7) Set the trimmer TP1 - measure with ohm-meter between Aand B.
Adjust resistance between Aand Bto achieve cable impedance ZL. (RAB = ZL)
(8) Switch-on the adequate switches (Table 1) to compensate the cable loss a5MHz.
In the SECTION I or SECTION II only one group of switches (10dB or 20dB) can be switched-on in the
same time. (see Example 1 and Example 2)
(9) Connect the power supply unit (AC or DC) to the K1.
(10) Connect the video monitor to the video output K2.
(11) Connect the twisted-pair cable to the K3.
(12) Switch-on the power supply units.
LED2 (green) lights, power supply is switched-on.
If there is a video signal at the input, LED1 (red) doesn’t light.
(13) Switch-on the video monitor.
(14) Check the positive video input signal between Aand ⊥.
(15) Check the negative video input signal between Band ⊥.
(16) Set the output video signal to 1 Vpp - trimmer TP3.
(17) Do the fine adjustment with TC2, TC3, TC4, correct the sync. pulse with TP4, TC1. (Fig. 1)
(18) If adjustment with TC2, TC3, TC4 is not possible, switch-on SW13, SW14, SW15 and do the fine
adjustment.
(19) Set the minimal disturbance - trimmer TP2.
(20) Correct the output video signal to 1 Vpp - trimmer TP3.
(21) If there is too much noise in the signal (gain adj. >50 dB at 5 MHz), set the pre-emphasis to +10 dB in
the video twisted-pair transmitter.
(22) If a <6 dB (short distance), SW1-SW15 switch-off, SW16 switch-on, jumper J1 set to −6 dB and do the
fine adjustment.
