HD Cat 5 Matrix
The AVX-562 is a six input, seven output high denition matrix router. It has one local output and six Cat 5
remote outputs, all offering component video with digital and analog audio. The Model AVX-562 performs
selection of up to six audio/video input sources by infrared control, RS-232 signals, or by manual selection.
These inputs may be component video with digital and/or analog audio, all delivered to the viewer with their
original vividness, brightness and clarity. Commercial venues, such as clubs and restaurants, as well as private homes can benet by using the AVAtrix to send selectable video and/or audio to remote locations.
Three different Cat 5 wallplate/receiver styles are available (Models 9878, 9879 and 9880). The wallplate/
receivers allow individual source selection by IR remote control; the output of each wallplate can also be
controlled from the AVX-562 head end. The AVX-562 delivers component video, digital and analog audio to
each wallplate/receiver over two Cat 5 cables. The AVAtrix is expandable up to 36 remote wallplate outputs by
adding Model 1176 Cat 5 Matrix Expanders.

Cat 5
• Patch cables (RCA, optical and 3.5mm)
• Infrared emitters and/or infrared remote control receivers—for remote wallplate/receiver IR functionality
• Cat 5e/6 cable—for remote outputs; consider buying a different jacket color for A and B cables
• RJ-45 plugs—for remote outputs; EZ RJ-45 plugs are recommended
• Professional network cable tester—continuity testing is not adequate for Cat 5 cables–twisted pairs must
be properly matched for balanced line performance, so a tester capable of conrming pairs is required
We strongly recommend testing factory-made cables as well as site-fabricated cables!
!
All cables must have proper EIA-568B pairing (not crossover conguration) for proper function.
(The EIA-568A standard can also be used, but mixing the two standards could result in confusion.)
