CVEQ1 Series • Table of Contents

Introduction

About the CVEQ1, CVEQ1 WM, and CVEQ1 AAP

The Extron CVEQ1 is a one-input, one-output, composite video
line driver. It features a 185 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth.

It accepts one composite video input on a female BNC connector
and one stereo audio input on a pair of female RCA connectors.
One female BNC connector provides equalized video output,
and a five-pole captive screw connector provides for stereo
audio output.

The Extron CVEQ1 AAP is identical to the CVEQ1, except that it
is designed to be mounted in a double-space height architectural
adapter plate bracket (in a device’s faceplate or in an AAP
wallplate) for installation into a wall or furniture.

The CVEQ1 WM shares the features of the other two models,
but it has a 1-gang faceplate for installation into a UL-approved
electrical wall box set into a wall or furniture.

In this manual “CVEQ”, “CVEQ1”, and “line driver” are used to
refer to all models interchangeably unless otherwise noted.

Features

Stereo audio — Unbalanced stereo audio input can be output as

balanced or unbalanced stereo audio.

Gain adjustment — All models offer a video gain adjustment

with a range of -6 dB to +6 dB.

Equalization adjustment — Each model also features an

equalization adjustment that changes the level and
peaking of the output signal to compensate for use of long
cables. The CVEQ1 series line drivers can drive video
signals through up to 1000 feet (300 meters) of Extron RG6
cable.

UL Requirements

Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall Box

2-2

The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements listed below
pertain to the installation of the CVEQ1 WM and CVEQ1 AAP.

1. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC
power source or used beyond their rated voltage range.

The Extron P/S 100, P/S 150, and other Extron power

supplies may be used with the CVEQ.

2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.

The UL approved electrical wall box (junction box) is not

included with the CVEQ; the installer is responsible for
obtaining and installing the box.

3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance
with the National Electrical Code.

Choose a location that will allow cable runs without
interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and
the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall,
furniture, or conduits before installing the line driver.

• The CVEQ1 AAP can be installed in an Extron two-gang, four­gang, or half rack width AAP Architectural Adapter Plate or in
the faceplate of another Extron device that accepts AAP plates,
such as an interface or distribution amplifier. Refer to the
mounting instructions for the adapter plate or device.

CVEQ1 WM can be installed in a standard one-gang elec-

• The
trical wall box that is at least 2.5” deep. An optional one-gang
mounting bracket (mud ring) is also available.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical
codes and to the line driver’s size requirements. A dimensional
drawing of the CVEQ1 WM and a template (not to scale) are
provided in appendix B of this manual.

1. Cut out the center portion shown in the template that
corresponds to the wall box.

2. Place the template (or the wall box) against the installation
surface, and mark the guidelines for the opening on the
wall or furniture.

3. Cut out the material from the marked area.

4. Check the opening size by inserting the wall box into the

opening. The box and the line driver’s circuit boards and
connectors should fit easily into the opening. Enlarge or
smooth the edges of the opening if needed.

CVEQ1 Series • Installation, Setup, Operation

5. Feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes, and
secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

6. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources
of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with
heat shrink.

Grounding outer braided and foil shields

To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be

cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable
clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be con­nected to an equipment ground at the other end of
the cable.

7. Insert the wall box into the opening, and attach it to the
wall stud or furniture with nails or screws, leaving the
front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface.
See the following illustration, which applies to one-, two-,
and four-gang wall boxes.

Top/Side Panel Features and Adjustments

Adjust the gain and

equalization before
installing the CVEQ1 AAP
or CVEQ1 WM into a wall
or furniture, as the gain and
equalization adjustment
controls will be inaccessible
after installation.

Gain adjustment control —

This control adjusts picture
brightness by compensating
for signal amplitude loss
caused by cable resistance. To
adjust the output gain, view
the display while using a
small, flat-blade screwdriver
to rotate this two-turn
potentiometer. This control
produces a gain adjustment ranging from

-6 dB to +6 dB. Select the setting that gives the
best picture brightness.

adjustment changes the level and peaking of the output signal
to compensate for capacitance caused by up to 1000 feet
(300 meters) of Extron RG6 cable.

Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to rotate this control.

View the display and select the setting that gives the sharpest
picture. For a more precise setting you can use an oscilloscope
or a waveform monitor connected to the far end of the output
cable, and adjust the equalization so that the color burst ranges
between -20 IRE and +20 IRE.

The Equalize control is a potentiometer with a soft

mechanical stop at the high and the low end. If you
have reached the high or low end of the adjustment, the
potentiometer makes a clicking sound as you turn it, and
no change is apparent on the display.

2-8

You can judge the adjustment visually by

looking at the display. For a more precise
setting, you can use an oscilloscope or a
waveform monitor connected to the far
end of the output cable, and adjust the
gain so that the level at the waveform
monitor is 100 IRE.

Mounting the CVEQ1 AAP

The CVEQ1 AAP and any other adapter plates must be attached
to a device’s faceplate or an AAP wallplate and cabled before the
device or wallplate is installed in a wall or furniture. The screws
needed for installing the CVEQ1 AAP are built into its front
panel, so no additional screws are needed.

1. Insert the CVEQ1 AAP’s screws through the holes in the
faceplate or AAP wallplate. Secure the line driver to the
faceplate or wallplate with the provided captive washers
and #4-40 nuts.

Mounting the CVEQ1 WM

The CVEQ1 WM must have output cables connected before it
is installed in a wall or furniture. Secure the CVEQ1 WM to the
wall box as shown below.
