Overview
KRAMER ELECTRONICS, LTD.

Receiver

constitutes a video line transmitter / receiver system. With the
706xl:
 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) wiring is recommended
 Using good quality cable, the system can maintain the bandwidth of an
industrial color video signal up to 1000 meters, and a broadcast quality signal
(as high as 12 MHz) up to 300 meters
 A bandwidth of 30 MHz is easily achievable at shorter distances
 Kramer twisted pair adapters are an excellent way to solve remote
monitoring requirements without using more costly coaxial cable or fiber, or
wireless transmission systems
A choice of 2 video line transmitters is available:
 703xl Quad Video Line Transmitter
 705xl Dual Video Line Transmitter
Both the 703xl and the 705xl work in conjunction with the 706xl receiver as a
high performance set, designed to transmit composite video signals over long
distances using common twisted pair cable.
The 703xl Quad Video Line Transmitter includes:
 4 independent twisted pair outputs derived from 4 looped-through video
inputs
 Individual gain control and cable equalization (EQ.) control for each
output
The 705xl Dual Video Line Transmitter includes:
 2 independent twisted pair outputs derived from a single, looped-through
video input
 Individual gain control and cable EQ. control for each output, for 2
separate, simultaneous paths of operation; or for two sets of twisted pair (TP)
wires
Achieving the best performance means:
 Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
 Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your Video Line Transmitter
and/or a 706xl Dual Output Video Line Receiver in a location free from
moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust

5.1 Connecting a Dual Video Line Transmitter/ Receiver System
To configure a Dual Video Line Transmitter / Dual Output Video Line
Receiver system, using two 705xl units and four 706xl units, as Figure 4
illustrates, do the following:
1. Connect a composite video source (for example, a VCR) to the CV IN
BNC connector on the first 705xl unit and release the TERM button to Hi-Z.
2. Connect the first 705xl unit’s LOOP connector to the CV IN connector on
the second 705xl unit and push in the Term button (on the second 705xl unit)
to 75.

5.2 Connecting a Quad Video Line Transmitter/ Receiver System
To configure a Quad Video Line Transmitter / Dual Output Video Line
Receiver system, using a 703xl unit and up to four 706xl units, as Figure 5
illustrates, do the following:
1. Connect up to 4 composite video sources (for example, 4 VCRs) to the 4
IN BNC connectors on the 703xl unit.
2. Connect up to 4 of the 703xl unit’s OUTPUT terminal block connectors
to the respective IN terminal block connectors
1
on each of the four 706xl units
(“A1, A2”, “B1, B2”, “C1, C2”, and “D1, D2”)
2
.
3. Connect the “A1, A2” 706xl unit’s LOOP terminal block connectors to
the IN terminal block connectors on the “A3, A4” 706xl unit
1
.
This creates transceiver connection A.
4. Repeat step 3 (above) connecting up to 3 additional pairs of 706xl units
1
.
This creates transceiver connections B (“B1, B2” to “B3, B4”), C (“C1, C2”
to “C3, C4”), and D (“D1, D2” to “D3, D4”).
5. Connect the composite video outputs on up to four pairs of 706xl units to
their respective composite video acceptors, as follows:
 On the “A1, A2” unit, OUT 1 to acceptor 1A; OUT 2 to acceptor 2A
 On the “B1, B2” unit, OUT 1 to acceptor 1B; OUT 2 to acceptor 2B
 On the “A3, A4” unit, OUT 1 to acceptor 3A; OUT 2 to acceptor 4A
 On the “B3, B4” unit, OUT 1 to acceptor 3B; OUT 2 to acceptor 4B
