Resumen del manual
You are installing one of the most innovative custom installation products available. These units will allow you to transmit video and audio signals over standard Category 5 wiring by using the highest quality active circuitry. Please note that these products are primarily designed for installation by professional audio video companies so if any part of this manual is not clear . . . STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Contact your nearest audio video installation company or call us and we will refer you to one. Plasma monitors and DVD players are too expensive to damage so don’t attempt anything you are unfamiliar with. Now sit back, grab a cold beverage and take a moment to read through this manual before you charge off into the installation. For Those Who Think Perfection Possible® ® ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES Here are some of the cool features for your new balanced video and audio products: • Allows Simple Distribution of High-Quality Component Video and Audio signals up to 1000 feet (305 meters) • Uses Standard, Inexpensive, Twisted-Pair Cat-5 type Cabling • 300 MHz of video bandwidth - compatible with 480, 720, and 1080 formats • Will transmit High Definition (HD) signal up to 300’ via CAT-5 wiring • Can also transmit a digital audio or composite video signal • Standard EIA-568 RJ-45 Cat-5 Connection Jack • Adjustable Cable Compensation Circuit • Five Year Warranty The First Step In Your Installation Procedure FILL OUT AND SEND IN THE WARRANTY CARD! Also, save the invoice or sales slip as proof of purchase. These actions will protect this investment and help prove that such a handy piece of audio equipment was really in the system. Insurance companies can have such little imagination when you are trying to make a claim. Before You Begin For the best product performance and the lowest use of pain-killers, nothing is better than a well-planned professional system installation. Before you start pulling wires and punching holes in the walls, sketch out a full layout of the complete system. This will help plan the wire routing and minimize the “gotchas” later on. 2 ® ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES 3 ® A Quick Tour Of The BVD-20, BVH-20 and BVR-20 1 Power Light 2 Power Connector 3 Cable Compensation Control 4 Component Video Inputs 5 Component Video Outputs 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 6 6 Digital Audio/Composite Video Input 7 Digital Audio/Composite Video Output 8 Audio/Video Output 9 RJ-45 Input ..

ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES Mounting The BVD-20 / BVH-20 / BVR-20 The small size and low power draw of these units allow them to be mounted in almost any dry, indoor location. Pick mounting locations close to the audio or video components that will be connected to the BVD-20, BVH-20 or BVR-20. This keeps the unbalanced audio and video signal cables as short as possible since they are much more susceptible to noise pickup than the balanced Cat-5 cables. There is no heat build-up problem, so it is okay to put the BVD-20 / BVH-20 / BVR-20 in a closed area. Just remember you need to at least be able to reach the units. Important Note: When routing the 24 volt AC power wiring from the wall plug transformer; make certain that you do not run the power wiring near or parallel to the signal cables. You may pick up AC hum. Tests have shown however that you will not pick up songs from the group AC/DC. Signal Wiring The BVD-20 / BVH-20 / BVR-20 system operates using standard unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Category 5 wiring. Good wiring practices will minimize the chance of any noise pickup. • Do not run the signal cables parallel to AC power wiring. • If you need to cross over a power wire, try to do it at right-angles. • Keep the signal wiring as far as possible from any noise sources such as lighting power supplies, fluorescent lights, motors, etc. 4 ® ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES ACTIVE-BALANCED SERIES If you use a shielded Cat-5 cable, then you need to be careful about ground loops. In most instances only connect the shield at the receive end of the balanced line and NOT on the other end. This provides a ground/drain path for noise picked up by the shield, but it prevents a continuous ground path between the source and destination units. Power Wiring Important Note: The BVD-20 and BVR-20 operate from a 24 volt AC wall plug transformer. There is no polarity on the power wiring from the transformer so it can connect either way to the connector block on the unit. The power draw is very low on these units (each unit draws approximately 150 milliamps) so if necessary you can run as many as two AudioControl BVD-20 / BVH-20 / BVR-20s from one 24 VAC transformer. Handy Tip: For remote applications the BVD-20, BVH20 and BVR-20 will work from a 12 volt battery supply. There is a small decrease in the maximum audio signal level headroom, but the video performance is unaffected by the reduced supply voltage. Cat-5 Wiring: The RJ-45 connection on the BVD-20, BVH-20 and BVR-20 conform to the EIA-568B s...
