INSTALLATION/OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the C5-HDP from the box. Place the adapter in a location close to the
source unit.
Connect the source device outputs to the appropriate input jacks on the C5-HDP
using a customer supplied RCA component video cable.
If not already installed, run the UTP cable from the source to the destination.
Leave extra cable length to terminate the ends with RJ-45 connectors. Either
EIA-568A or EIA-568B wiring standard may be used, as long as it is the same on
both ends of the UTP cable.
Do not use a cross-over cable!
Plug the remote end of the UTP cable into a second C5-HDP unit. Connect a
component video cable from the C5-HDP to the HD monitor. The digital audio
can be connected to the monitor (provided that it has the digital audio input
option) or to an audio receiver that has digital audio input capabilities.
Adjust brightness on video monitor to compensate for cable loss.
Installation is complete.
High Definition CAT5 Passive Baluns
The C5-HDP is a high quality, wide bandwidth balun that is designed
specifically to transport HD video over medium distance UTP cable runs.
It has a set of four RCA connectors for component video and digital
SPDIF audio. The UTP connector uses standard Cat5 or Cat6 cable in
order to transport the signals to a remote location. All four channels use
the same wide bandwidth, custom balun transformer. This allows all
channels to be used for composite video if desired. The chassis is heavy
gauge steel to stand up to any abuse and provides excellent shielding
to prevent pickup of unwanted signals. The chassis is powder-coat
painted to ensure corrosion and scratch resistance.
SPECIFICATIONS
VIDEO
Nominal Input level: 1 Volt peak to peak
Gain: N/A (Passive unit)
Input Impedance: 75 ohms
Output Impedance: Balanced 100 ohms
Isolation port to port: >60 dB
Isolation out to input: Bi-directional
Return loss: >15 dB
Video bandwidth: > 35 MHz
AUDIO
Digital/Analog:
There is one audio channel available. It may be used to transport a SPDIF digital
audio signal or a mono audio signal (mono analog signal will be attenuated slightly
due to lower impedance of the Digital Audio channel).
POWER
Requirement: External 9 or 10 Volt AC @ 600mA with a ( 2.1mm center) Coaxial
connector. Power Supply is included.

DISTANCE
The adapter provides a minimum of signal loss and may be used for High Definition
distribution with cable lengths up to 200 feet usually with no adjustment to the
monitor. We have achieved good results with a 1080i signal with cable in excess of
300 feet. Due to the passive nature of the adapter and the inherent loss of the UTP
cable, the picture was a little less bright, but easily corrected with minor adjustment
to the monitor brightness control. For composite video, the balun should provide an
excellent picture in excess of 750 feet. When used in security applications, a
monochrome picture will work in excess of 1500 feet.
