VIDEO CCTV-A/V HUB

2. Introduction

The Video CCTV-A/V Hub distributes one or two S-Video or baseband video

signals and one or two audio signals to be distributed to up to eight destinations on

unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable for more cost-effective and versatile cabling.

When used in conjunction with any of several of our video baluns (such as

product codes IC440A, IC441A-R2, IC444A, IC446A, and IC447A), the Video

CCTV-A/V Hub eliminates the need to run expensive coaxial cable or audio cable

between the audio/video (A/V) source and destination devices. You can run UTP

cable instead, which is already wired into most commercial sites, to distribute audio

and video signals to multiple locations. For even greater versatility, a looping

output allows the source input to be distributed to additional daisychained or

cascaded hubs.

You can connect a set of the Video CCTV-A/V Hub’s RJ-45 jacks to your site’s

structured cabling through a modular wall jack in the work area. The video and

audio twisted pairs are independent of each other; it’s not necessary to use all of

them in a given application, and it’s not necessary for all signals to be transmitted

in the same direction. The hub is designed for one-to-many point-to-point

configurations; further expansion through cable tapping is not supported.

The hub is designed for use with CCTV cameras and monitors, videocassette

recorders, camcorders, switchers, multiplexors, and other baseband or S-Video

audiovisual devices. Use it in applications such as CCTV security and surveillance,

classroom audio/video instruction, corporate audio/video presentations, and

trade-show demonstration systems.

Here are some of the useful features of the hub:

• Distributes CCTV and A/V to multiple destinations over twisted pair, creating

a centralized cabling system that replaces costly and bulky coax.

• Standard modular RJ-45 connections for quicker moves, adds, and changes.

• Supports S-Video and NTSC and PAL composite video

• Color transmission over as much as 2200 feet (671 m) of CAT5 between the

source and destination.

• Supports up to 2 video and 2 audio channels.

• Integrates seamlessly with many IC440 series baluns.

• Supports looping output to daisychain or cascade to other hubs.

• Rubber stand-offs for desktop placement.

CHAPTER 3: Installation

3. Installation

3.1 Installing a Single Hub

To install a Video CCTV-A/V Hub that isn’t daisychained or cascaded with any

other devices, follow the steps below.

CAUTION!

Do not attempt to open the housing. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside the Video CCTV-A/V Hub.

To avoid electrical interference, keep your equipment, baluns, and

cables away from neon or fluorescent lights, generators, electric

motors, high-voltage lines, and other sources of high-voltage or high-

frequency electromagnetic signals.

Keep in mind that video and audio 1 form one set of signals, while

video and audio 2 form another set.

1. The Video CCTV-A/V Hub is polarity sensitive and works in conjunction with

many of our IC440 series video baluns. If you want to use the hub with baluns

that have an opposite signal polarity, you’ll need to reverse the signal polarity

of the cabling between the hub and the baluns (that is, cross-pin it). Make

sure, however, that the pinout of any balun you use with the hub has the same

pinout as the hub. (A table that shows the hub’s pinout is printed on the

hub’s rear panel.)

2. Connect the appropriate video baluns to the audio/video source and

destination devices, following the directions in the baluns’ manual. Run the

appropriate patch cables from the baluns to your site’s twisted-pair cabling

system.

The hub supports up to two video and two audio channels. So the hub will

work with the:

• Video Balun (IC440A);

• Video Stereo Audio Balun (IC441A-R2);

• CCTV Video Balun (IC444A);

• Dual Audio/Video Balun (IC446A); and

• S-Video Balun (IC447A).
