UTP Encoder/Decoder Set
NM-UTPSET
The NetMedia UTP Video Encoder and Decoder modules allow popular 12V DC cameras to use Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cable, such as CAT5, for both power and video. There is no need to run multiple cables to the camera location! The
modules support cable distances up to 1000 feet. To view the video, use a security monitor or the composite RCA Video
Input jack of a television.

Installation Procedures:
1. Connect a UTP cable (CAT5 or better) to the UTP jacks of the Video Encoder and Decoder. Each Encoder/Decoder pair
needs a dedicated point-to-point wiring circuit. If attaching your own plugs, wire them for straight-through connections: pin1 to pin1, pin2 to pin2; pin3 to pin3, etc. For standardization, you should also follow the T-568A color specification but it will not affect the modules’ function. Do not connect the UTP cable to computer networks or other
UTP video systems! Doing so could damage this product and/or the other attached devices!
2. Connect a video cable from the camera to the Encoder’s RCA Video In jack. Simple adapters, such as RCA to BNC, may
be used where appropriate.
3. Connect the Power Extension Cable from the Encoder’s Power Output Connector to the camera’s 12V DC power input.
If the camera requires more than 150mA or if it does not use 12V DC then it cannot use the Encoder’s power output.
4. Connect a video cable from the viewing device (monitor, Quad, DVR, modulator, etc.) to the Decoder’s RCA Video Out
jack using appropriate adapters where necessary.
5. Connect the 24V DC 200mA Power Transformer from an AC outlet to the Decoder’s Power Input Connector.

Frequently Asked Questions
ON until the most satisfactory
Q- Can I connect the modules to any computer network equipment?
A- NO! Do not connect the UTP cable of the Video Encoder or Decoder to a computer network! Doing
so could damage the attached devices! The Decoder ouputs DC voltage on pins 7 and 8 of its UTP
connector that some network equipment may not be prepared to handle. Each Encoder/Decoder pair
needs a dedicated point-to-point circuit; nothing else can share their wires. Also, they are not IP or Power
over Ethernet (PoE) devices so they will not work properly with network hubs, switches, or routers.
Q- Can I connect the modules to other UTP type video systems?
A- NO! Do not connect the UTP cable of the Video Encoder or Decoder to other video systems! Doing
so could damage the attached devices! As mentioned above, the Decoder output voltage could
damage the other devices. Also, the other devices may damage the Encoder or Decoder. Even without
the power issues, the modules’ video transmission signal is proprietary so the other devices will not be
able to recognize or display it properly.
Q- How can I see the video on my TV without using an expensive security monitor?
A- The composite video signal from the UTP Decoder can be plugged directly into one television’s RCA
Video Input jack and viewed when that TV is switched to the proper input. Another option is to feed the
Decoder signal into a modulator. A modulator, such as NetMedia’s MM70, changes the video to a UHF
or Cable channel and allows the signal to be distributed to all your TV’s along with the existing
antenna/cable/satellite service.
Q- Will the modules work at distances beyond 1000 feet?
A- Though we do not recommend or support doing so, some people find that the modules function
satisfactorily at distances greater than 1000 feet. At that range, the video quality degrades as the cable
length increases but until the power gives out over the next few hundred feet, it may still be acceptable
for your application.
Q- What do the DIP switches inside the UTP Decoder module do?
A- The switches come preset from the factory in the OFF position. This requires the least amount of
intervention for most installations. Some monitoring devices though, are more sensitive to the voltage
level of the video signal and will require an adjustment of the switches according to the length of the
UTP cable. In those situations, disconnect power from the Decoder and remove one of the end plates.
Then locate the switch bank and, starting from #1, set each switch
ON until the most satisfactory
picture is attained. The longer the cable, the more switches that will need to be ON.
Figure 5 - UTP Decoder DIP Switches. Default of all OFF works for most installations. If necessary, start with #1 and
turn more ON as the cable length increases; turn them all ON for the longest distance, 1000 feet.
