Intelix AVO-V1-ST Video Balun

The Intelix AVO-V1-ST video balun eliminates 75-
ohm coaxial cable and allows composite baseband
video to be transmitted via a single unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) cable, such as Cat 5. Four AVO-V1-ST
baluns may be used with one UTP, four pair cable.
Typically, AVO-V1-ST baluns are used in pairs to
transmit standard NTSC, PAL, or SECAM
composite video.
The AVO-V1-ST balun is typically used with CCTV security and surveillance equipment,
such as CCTV cameras, monitors, DVRs, video sequencers, video multiplexers, quads, video
switchers, CCTV camera servers, and time-lapse VCRs. The AVO-V1-ST balun may also
be used with other baseband video equipment.
Installation
Caution: Do not attempt to open the balun housing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the AVO-V1-ST. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
To install an AVO-V1-ST balun, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the video equipment by following the manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. One twisted pair is required for each
camera signal. Note: The V1-ST is reverse polarity sensitive. Please ensure that
"Ring" is connected to "Ring" and "Tip" is connected to "Tip."
Caution: Do not connect the AVO-V1-ST to a telecommunication outlet wired to
unrelated equipment. Making such a connection may damage the equipment
and/or balun. Please ensure all wiring is "straight-through."
3. The AVO-V1-ST works in pairs. Plug one V1-ST into the BNC connector of the
source device.
2. Plug a second balun into the BNC connector of the destination equipment at the
other end.
Caution: Do not mount the balun over equipment ventilation openings. Covering the
openings may cause the equipment to overheat.
4. Slice open the outer jacket of the UTP (Cat 5) cable to expose the individual wire
pairs.
5. Complete the connection between the two baluns using standard UTP cable. Ensure
the same wire pair is used on each end.
6. Power-on the video equipment and check the picture quality. The video should be
clear and sharp within the maximum specified distances.
