VGA + Power Over UTP
Figure 1 – Typical Connection Diagram
1.0 General Description
This User’s Manual covers the Mini-Cat ® series of high-resolution PC or HDTV
component video transmission system.
The transmission systems are comprised of one Sender unit and one or more
Receiver units. They enable you to split and extend a PC VGA video or analog
Component HDTV signal up to 500 feet.
A unique feature of the system is that in most installat ions only one power
supply is enough to power the sender and the receiver(s). All sender units can
supply power to all the receivers connected to them via the Cat5 cable. If the
cable is longer than 330 feet or 100 m the n the receiver may require a se parate
supply. Conversely, in the case of 1-to-1 set ups, the Receiver unit can al so
supply power to the Sender (only when the Sender is a single channel).

Feature
Table 1 - Sender Characteristics
Note: For Cat-5 runs of over 330 feet, the receivers may need their own
additional s upplies sold separately (H RT model # 511-GS569).
1.1 Note for –CV m o dels:
The Mini-Cat ® series senders can be built to extend Composite Video and
Stereo Audio up to 2000 feet, and are sold with HD15 to 3 RCA A/V cables.
These models are labeled with –CV (e.g.: UV2-S-CV) and are not compatible
with VGA sig nals. The Model UV1-SL is also capable of extending Composite
Video & Stereo Audio by set ting a dip switch (see section 3.2).

2.0 Features
• Transmit video and power on one cable
• Senders with multiple outputs for splitting t o m ultiple displays
• Handles resolut ions up to 1920x1440
• Drives standar d CAT5 cables t o 500 feet
• Adjustable cable length compensation at each receiver
• Only one power supply required for sender and all receivers
• Rugged, Reliable, Compact size
3.0 Setup and Operati o n
A. Place the sender near the video source and connect it to your sourc e using
the cable provided.
• For PC’s VGA out put use a HD15 male-to-male cable (generally a short
cable may be included with your package)
• For RGB or YPbPr sources, use a HD15 to 3 RCA cable (Hall Research
Model # CHD15-3RCA-length 03 = 3ft, 06 = 6 ft).
•
B. Use an Unshielded Twist ed Pair (UTP) or a Shielded Tw isted pair (ST P)
cable such as Cat5, 5e, or 6 wired per standard 568B to connect the sender to
the receiver (s). See Section 3.1 for important cable selection considerations.

Do not connect this unit to any LAN device such as network cards or hubs
as this may cause damage. Use EIA/TIA 568B standard straight-through
patch wiring as shown below. Do not use crossover cables.

C. At each rem ote site connect a receiver to the Cat5 cable and plug your
display to its HD15 output c onnector.
D. Plug a power supply to the System based on the type of the sender used.
In general, you should connect the power supply to the Sender unit. H owever,
follow these suggestions for best performance.
• If the sender has m ore than one RJ 45 output then the power su pply
must be connec ted to the sender.
• If the system i s comprised of only one sender and one receiver,
then you can s upply power at either the sen der or the recei ver.

Wallplate Po wer Connection
The wall plate units have a 2 pin screw
terminal for power connect ion on the back of
the unit. You need to connect 6 vDC (could
be 6 to 9vDC) to these terminals.
In your package there is either of the 2 pow er
supplies pictured. There is also a 2.5 mm
Jack included in the package so that you
don’t have to cut the connector at the end of
the power supply. If you decide not to cut off
the power su pply connector, then solder a
pair of wires to the enclosed j ack and connect
those to the power terminals.
Using the supplied 2.5mm J ack also gives you the ability to place the power
supply outside the wall. Y ou can use a separate single gang plate and i nstall the
supplied jack on it and wire it to the terminals on the back of the wall units.
You can use 20 awg or heavier wire to extend the DC output cord of t he power
supply if you need to locate the power supply farther fr om the device. It is
recommended to keep the distance of the supply from the unit to within 30 feet.
Note: Please do not connect the power sup ply to the AC source until you have
securely connected the output cords to t he Wall Plate Mini-Cat unit.
Since the DC supply to the unit is only 6 to 9 vDC with mini m al current
requirements, the product qualifie s as a Class 2 low-v ol tag e de vi ce, an d
you are not r equired to run the DC cables in a conduit. However if you will
be installing the power s upply in the wall or ceiling, since it has to plug in
to AC, you need an electrical junction box for it, an d the AC line that
brings high-voltage to th e junction-box should follow the electrical code
for your spe cific installation

E. Apply a video source to the system and check for an image at each receiver,
then set the compensation Potentiometer (pot) for best possible image.
Start with th e compensati on pot fully CCW (least compensation), the n slowly
turn it clockwise and check for the bleedi ng of left to ri ght horizontal lines on the
screen. See Fi gur e 3.
3.1 Important n ote regardin g selecting the UTP Cable
First of all, UTP (unshielded) is preferred over STP (shielded) unless you are
running the cable very cl ose to AC power l ines, power transformers, or ballasts
of fluoresce nt lights, where EMI (electro-magnetic interference) can get into th e
video if it is strong enough.
Secondly, for best results especially f or distances of over 150 feet, it is highly
recommended to use a Zero-Skew Cat5 cable. (Part # CUTP-Z-1000).

This cable ensures that the horizontal alignment of th e red, green, and blue
components of the video signal is maintained regardless of the length of the
Cat5 cable. In this cable, the number of twists in each of the 4 pairs in the cable
is the same. If y ou do not use a Zero Skew cable and feel that the RGB
alignment is off by an unacceptable level, then you can use a Skew Corrector
(Hall Research Model SKU-RGB) at the display device i f desired.
• For Cat5 runs of over 330 ft, you may need to connect a power
supply to the sender as well as the receiver. This is due t o the fact
that the resi stance of the cable causes a voltage drop from the
sender to the receiver and t he voltage level of the power at the
receiver may not be sufficient for proper operation. This extra power
supply must be ordered sep arately (Model 511-GS569).
• When using one s upply for the system, if the power supply voltage
is not enough due to the length of the Cat5 cable run, the power
LED on some units may start blinking. This signifies that you need
to attach another power supply to the unit that is curr ently being port
powered.
3.2 Dip Switch Settings for the Model UV1-SL
The UV1-SL ca n be
used to transmit
Composite Video and
Stereo Audio as well as
VGA to the receiver.
However si nce the
Video signals are
terminated di fferently
than audio, you need to
move the dip sw itch to the pr oper position.
Use the Mode Dip Switch to select the video type for transm ission.
The Sync Dip Switch is used to change the polarity of sync at the receiver. If
your remote display has tr ouble positioning the right and left edges of the
screen, then try putting the switch in the +/+ position.
