Description

The TXB-N allows Spectra® IV and Spectra IV SE dome systems to transfer live video and data over an
Internet protocol (IP) network. The IP module provides H.264, MJPEG, and MPEG-4 compression for use
with most standard Web browsers. Once installed, the Spectra IV dome system retains all of the standard
Spectra features, while adding IP connectivity.

NOTE: The TXB-N module is only compatible with Spectra IV dome systems that use version 1.07 or
newer software. Dome systems with software older than version 1.07 do not have the capability to
operate over an IP network.

To access the back box PCB, use the following steps:

1. Turn off power to the dome system.

2. Remove the lower dome.

3. Remove the dome drive by pressing in the blue and red tabs on the sides of the dome drive. Gently
rock the dome drive to release the blue tab first, and then release the red tab.

4. Open the hinged door to the box. Push the tab lock towards the back box wall of the unit and open
the door (refer to Figure 3).

To install the TXB-N into the back box, use the following steps (refer to Figure 4):

WARNING: The TXB-N-F is intended for use only with in-ceiling back boxes. The TXB-N-P is
intended for use only with pendant back boxes. If a TXB-N-F is installed in a pendant back box, the
unit will overheat and you will void the warranty. If a TXB-N-P is installed in an in-ceiling back box,
the unit will be damaged and you will void the warranty. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 on page 3.

1. Ensure that you are installing the correct model TXB-N into the appropriate in-ceiling or pendant
model back box.

2. If you plan to use the audio functions, install your audio UTP cables into the audio line-in and
line-out connectors on the TXB-N.

NOTES:

• To take full advantage of the UTP distance and noise immunity benefits, you must use a

600-ohm impedance matching transformer (refer to Figure 5 on page 6).

• A stable power supply is required for optimal audio performance.

3. Remove the shorting plug from the 16-pin connector located on the back box circuit board.

4. Insert the TXB-N module into the 16-pin connector located on the back box circuit board. Secure the
module to the standoff on the circuit board using the captive screw on the TXB-N module.

5. Plug your network Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 connector to connect the Spectra IV dome system to
your existing network.

WARNING: An electrical short in the back box may occur if the metal BNC connector on the video
coaxial cable is not completely covered by the protective boot.

6. If you plan to view video using both analog and IP connections, connect the video coaxial cable from
the back box circuit board to the coaxial cable coming in from the outside. Make sure that the BNC
connector is completely covered by the protective boot.

If you plan to only view video using the IP connection, make sure that the BNC connector is completely
covered by the protective boot and is out of the way of the back box door.

7. Before closing the interconnect door, ensure that no wires are between the top of the heat sink
standoff and the back box. Both the video coaxial cable and the Ethernet cable need to be routed
carefully to ensure clearance for the heat sink standoff. Refer to Figure 6.

8. Close the interconnect door. Snap the tab lock into place.
