3.0 CHECKING PACKAGE CONTENTS

Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton:

 1x Transmitter, 1x Receiver unit

 2x Power Adapters

 1x Operations Manual

Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact your reseller or TV One immediately.

Have the Model and Serial Number and Invoice available for reference when you call.

4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE

Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal input, outputs, power requirements/inputs plus any controls present. Note: The resolution capability of the remotely located display devices must be capable of displaying the output of the source device. Before connecting the CAT.5 extender system, verify that the display device on the receiving end can support the output resolution and signal format by connecting it directly to the source device.

4.1

Cat.5/5E/6 Cable Notes

Pins and p airing. Make sure the CAT5/5E/6 cable pin assignments are standard. The correct pairing is straight through pin-to-pin, with pairing as follows.

Twist densit y. UTP cable pairs have different twist densities (twist pitches). There are two pairs with high density twist and two pairs with low density. Colors vary by manufacturer. Twist densities can be seen by stripping off about 10 cm (4’) of insulation and visually inspecting. Pairs 1-2 and 7-8 should be assigned to high density twists.

Failure to assign correct twist densities can result in image jitter. The ABCD picture shows typical UTP cable, with pairs A and C showing a high pitch twist (assign (assign to pin pairs 1-2 & 7- 8), and B and D with low pitch twist (assign to pin pairs 3-6 & 4-5).

2. Connect a Cat.5/5E or Cat.6 cable to the UTP OUT connector of the Transmitter.

4.3

1T-CT-422 Receiver

1. At the remote location, connect the other end of the Cat.5/5E or Cat.6 cable to the UTP IN connector of the Receiver.

2. Connect the VIDEO OUT connector of the Receiver to the video input of the remote display or other device, using the appropriate cable.

3. Connect the DC power supplies to the units and then to the AC outlets.

4. Turn on the source device and remote display. The source signal should now appear on the remotely located display. If not, consult the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

OPERATING THE UNITS

Once the connections have been made and power applied, there is little in the way of operational adjustments required with the possible exception of the Equalization and

Gain adjustments.

5.1

Equalization and Gain Adjustments

On the 1T-CT-422 Receiver, locate the GAIN and EQ (Equalization) adjustments on the side of the Receiver.

On long cable runs, the high f requency detail can be lost resulting i n a “soft” looking picture. This will first show up in text where the characters will lose their sharp edges.

Adjust the EQ can sharpen the image. While viewing an image on a display connected to the Receiver, insert a small screwdriver into the EQ adjustment on the side panel of the Receiver. Rotate gently until the best EQ setting, as determined by image clarity, is achieved.

Then insert the screwdriver into the GAIN adjustment, and rotate gently until the best

Gain setting, as determined by the brightness of the image is achieved. You may notice an increase in video noise (sometimes called “snow”) in the picture at higher gain settings so a compromise will have to be f ound if the cable run i s at or near the maximum length. EQ and GAIN settings are retained by the Receiver.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

Other than faulty cables or attempting to use the product over too great of distances, there are seldom problems with these Video Extender products.

6

If there is no image present at the remote location, connect the display device directly to the source to make certain that the problem is not in the display. If an image is present under those circumstances, make certain the transmitter and receiver(s) are receiving power. Next make certain your Cat.5/5E/6 cable is defect free and the RJ-45 connectors are securely attached to the cable at both ends.

After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s technical personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support website:

http://tvone.crmdesk.com. Create a technical support request on the site and our support team will respond within a short period of time.
