INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
Atlona Technologies AT-COMP150SR can easily extend component (YPbPr) or composite (CVBS)
video with stereo audio over only one CAT5/6 cable. The AT-COMP150SR lets you extend signals
to cover the distance up to 330m (1,000ft). The devices are composed of a transmitter and a
receiver. The transmitter is installed near the video signal source, and the receiver is placed near
the desired display, up to impressive 330m (1,000ft) away for composite (CVBS) video and analog
stereo audio. The AT-COMP150SR does not need external power supply which is easier for
installation.
Diagram:
Passive and no power required
Supports component (YPbPr) and composite (CVBS) video and L/R stereo audio
Supports resolutions up to 720p/1080i (NTSC/PAL)
Transmission range up to 1,000 feet
Wall mountable
Note: The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher
resolutions and longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m)
for best performance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ45 connectors is recommended

AUDIO MODE
DIP Switch Position Audio Description
Pin 1 Pin 2
ON [ª] ON [ª] Mono
Set both Sender unit and Receiver unit at this position to get
mono Left channel audio with Right channel grounded to get
better audio clarity
OFF [©] OFF [©] Stereo
Set both Sender unit and Receiver unit at this position to get
stereo Left and Right channel audio.
1. Use shielded or even double shielded cables to get better audio quality
2. Even though the mono sound is sent by setting the DIP switch to ON-ON [ªª]position on the
Sender unit, you still can hear stereo-alike sound by setting the DIP switch at OFF-OFF [©©]
on the Receiver unit. The key reason to set the DIP switch on the Sender unit at ON-ON [ªª]
position is to lower the interferences between wires in CAT5e/6 cable and this may result in
better audio and video qaulity especially for long range applications.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE
1. Switch off all devices, including monitors.
2. Connect the Sender unit of AT-COMP150SR to the video and audio sources.
3. Connect the Receiver unit of AT-COMP150SR to component or composite display(s) and
stereo speakers.
4. Power on the displays and speakers.
5. Power on the audio and video sources.
1. All component/composite over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden
1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of category cables. The testing result
shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 1000ft bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer
signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fixed length patch cords). A solid UTP
CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long
extension users, solid CAT5e/6 cables are your only choice.
3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for CAT5e/6 cables is recommended.
4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in UTP cable, double
shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables to improve EMI problems,
which is worsen in long transmission.
5. Because the quality of the CAT5e/6 cables has the major effects in how long transmission
distance will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is
subject to the choice of your CAT5e/6 cables.
6. Increase in distance and resolution will generally result in loss of image sharpness or drop in
video sync.
