UVB1-CP User's Manual
1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Hall Research Model UVB1-CP. This device
can be used to extend SD or HDTV Component Video (YPbPr) over UTP
(unshielded twisted pair) cables such as Cat5e or Cat6.
Unlike other passive Baluns this device is active and boosts the signal using
wide bandwidth (450 MHz) differential (balanced) amplifiers for an
unprecedented sharp and clean image.
The unit provides Ground-loop Isolation (GLI) and RFI (radio frequency
interference) immunity to prevent 60 cycle video hum or distortion. Most
competing Baluns provide no common mode rejection at low frequencies
and are subject to facility grounding issues and noise pickup.
The active design matches the impedance of the UTP cable perfectly at all
frequencies so that there is no image ghosting. Ghosting is a major issue
with competing passive Baluns transmitting HD signals.
Only one power supply is needed for the setup and it can be plugged at
either the sending or the receiving end, whichever convenient.
2.0 Package Contents
Your kit includes all the items that you should normally need for the setup
(minus the Cat5 cable). The package includes a sender, receiver, a 9v DC
power supply and two high quality Component Video cables and this user’s
manual. Please take a moment to inventory the contents at this time and if
any item is missing, contact your vendor immediately.
