Description

The TW3008AR-4 is an eight-channel active receiver that can receive live video over unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable.

The adaptive technology in the TW3008AR-4 automatically adjusts the low, medium and high
frequency components of the video signal allowing for the best possible video transmission. The
adaptive technology eliminates the need for manual adjustment by automatically adjusting to provide
the most favorable video transmission depending on cable length needed. The unit has been
optimized for use with Cat5e and Cat6 cable, although Cat3 and Cat5 cable can be used for shorter
distances.

The front of the receiver has dials and LEDs for each of the eight channels. The dials are used for
selecting the cable distance. You can leave the dial on auto (default adaptive technology) or manually
select 1,000 feet (305 meters), 2,000 feet (610 meters), 3,000 feet (914 meters), or 4,000 feet
(1,219 meters). The LEDs light green when UTP video is being received and red when no UTP video is
being received. A flashing amber LED means that there are Coaxitron
commands being transmitted.

The back of the receiver has four BNC connectors for each channel and one UTP connector for each
channel. Only BNC A of each channel can be used for Coaxitron control. The other BNC connectors are
for connecting to other equipment, such as monitors and DVRs. The back of the unit also has a 5 mm
barrel power connector and a 6-pin Molex
and the 6-pin Molex connector can be used in a multi-unit installation with the optional
EPS5000-120TW rack-mountable external power supply.

Customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia will receive one of the
following power cords: US-320-C13, UK-320-C13, EU-320-C13, and AU-320-C13.

The following features are found on the TW3008AR-4:

• Full motion color/black-white video up to 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) with Cat5e or Cat6

• Supports Coaxitron control (PTZ control signals) up to 750 feet (229 meters)

• Compatible with all Pelco twisted pair equipped cameras, enclosures, and domes

• Built-in surge suppression

• Each channel has four BNC connectors for video output

• Easy termination with a removable UTP connector for each channel

• Supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM

• Power supply with an IEC 320-C13 socket for interchangeable AC power cords (either US, UK,
EU, AU)

• Can be mounted into a standard EIA 19-inch rack
