eBridge1CT - IP over Coax Transceiver
Z1409
Overview:
I.T.E. 43KC
The eBridge1CT is a CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapter. The transceiver enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital
communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. This plug and play unit facilitates system upgrades from analog to IP
cameras/devices utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminating the costs and labor associated with installing new network
cabling. In addition data transmission over the Coax can be extended to 1500’ (five times the 100m/328ft Ethernet maximum length), eliminating the need for repeaters. At the same time the unit can combine Composite Video Signal with the
Ethernet data enabling connection to an analog input on a monitor or matrix switch. An eBridge1CR Reciever is required
for connecting to an ethernet switch/NVR (Network Video Server).

­­­Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and
authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.
eBridge1CT is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected
premises. The eBridge1CT is intended for indoor use only.
1.Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the unit’s mounting hole
(Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity to the IP camera/device.
2.Connect 16VAC/24VAC Class 2 plug-in transformer or 12VDC/24VDC (polarity not observed) Class 2 power
supply to jack marked [Power Input] utilizing barrel connector (supplied) (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
Use 22AWG-16AWG wire for this connection.

3.Connect structured cable from the IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
4.For optional simultaneous Composite Video transmission, attach the Composite Video Cable (Fig. 2, pg. 3) by
plugging the two (2) position connector into the Comp. Video input marked on the unit
(Note: connector is polarized). Connect the BNC side to the composite video output of the IP camera,
monitor display, matrix switch or other headend equipment.
Note: The eBridge is designed to accommodate Megapixel, HD720, HD1080 and VGA (SD) cameras. It is important
to note that some high resolution and high frame rate cameras may demand faster headend processing ability, such as a
PC graphics card to present a quality image. If the headend processing equipment is insufficient in speed, the image may
show pixilation and latency. It is advisable to pretest system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be
reduced to accommodate system equipment.

Solutions and Installation Notes:
Currently Matrix Switchers, DVRs and NVRs do not readily accommodate multi-picture (Matrix) monitor display
capability (typically 4X4 – 16 channel display) for some of the higher resolution cameras. In addition HD cameras use
a wide screen format (16:9 aspect ratio). This may not fit as well into the matrix display as the standard screen format
(4:3 aspect ratio). In addition high resolution multichannel recording can introduce unacceptable latency in the real-time
monitor display.
To achieve high resolution recording along with real-time multi-channel viewing: Record the high resolution IP video via
the NVR and the simultaneous composite video via the Matrix switcher to achieve proper display format (Fig. 3, pg. 4).
