Video Connection Options - Motorola QIP7000 (P2) Series Installation Manual

Installation
5. If the signal level at one or more coaxial outputs remains unacceptably low, the
power loss may be caused by long coaxial cable runs using cable of insufficient
quality. For example, a 330 ft (100 m) cable can reduce the power by 20 to 27 dB,
depending on the cable quality. This results in a very low power level at the outlet of
about -5 to -10 dBmV or lower. This loss, combined with loss from a splitter, causes
marginal MoCA network performance.
6. If you make any changes to the network, repeat steps 1 and 2.
CAUTION! Be sure all connections are properly secured. Poor F-connector fittings or poor grounding
can cause ingress.

Video Connection Options

Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber's
home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check
the manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself.
The QIP7000 series offers the following video outputs:

TV Type Description
HDTV The YPbPr outputs provide component video, the most widely
and supported HD video connection.
SDTV
HDTV HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD video than component
and video. If the TV has an HDMI or a DVI input, use the HDMI output
SDTV instead of the IEEE-1394 output.
HDMI and IEEE-1394 are video and audio connections. If you use
HDMI or IEEE-1394, no separate audio connection to the TV is
required.
HDMI is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input, you can use
an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to connect to the QIP7000
series HDMI connector.
If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not display.
SDTV If the TV has an S-Video input, use S-Video. S-Video is the highest
only quality standard-definition video output on the QIP7000 series.
SDTV If the TV does not have an S-Video input, use the composite video
only (video) output.
SDTV If the TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the QIP7000 series
only RF out connector.
