AMX AutoPatch CAT-5 RGBHV RX Quick Start Manual

Overview
The CAT-5 RGBHV Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) work together or work in
conjunction with CAT-5 RGBHV boards on an AMX AutoPatch Distribution Matrix. This
guide contains complete information for the TX and RX when used as a pair. Product
model numbers vary depending on the type of installation and length of cable (see
table below). For additional information on using modules or boards in conjunction with
a distribution matrix, see the distribution matrix's instruction manual on the AMX
AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD or visit www.amx.com. For adding or
replacing boards on the AF-10 and for AF-10 specifications, see the "AF-10 Quick
Start Guide."

TX & RX Installation Types
Transmitters and Receivers pairs are available for two types of installation.
• Transmitter-to-Receiver: TX passes source signal directly to RX
• Transmitter-to-Matrix-to-Receiver: TX passes source signal to a
distribution matrix, which routes the signal to a corresponding RX (allowing
for switching to multiple destinations)
Each type of TX is tuned to work with a corresponding RX installation type. A TX of
one type must be used with an RX of the same type. Use the table below to determine
TX and RX installation types.

Cable Requirements
Use any of the following UTP cable: CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6, or skew-free.
The cable length must equal the specified distance for the receiver (see the first table
in the column to the left); extra cable may be required to achieve the receiver's
specified length. Cable is available in fixed lengths.
Each cabled TX and RX pair allows up to 300 ft. (91.44 m) to maintain specifications.
Total distance must be <400 ft. (121.92 m).
Important: The recommended skew ratio for all cable is <25 nS per 328 ft. (100 m).

System Setup

A typical setup using a Transmitter-to-Receiver CAT-5 RGBHV TX and RX is
illustrated in FIG. 2. The modules and AF-10 boards may be mixed in four different
ways (see the "combinations" list in FIG. 2).

Four combinations are possible:
Module TX -> Module RX (illustrated)
Module TX -> AF-10 RX

System setup for a Transmitter-to-Receiver type installation
A typical setup using a Transmitter-to-Matrix-to-Receiver CAT-5 RGBHV TX and RX is
illustrated in FIG. 3. The modules and AF-10 boards may be mixed in four different
ways (see the "combinations" list in FIG. 3).
Four combinations are possible:
Module TX -> matrix -> Module RX
Module TX -> matrix -> AF-10 RX
AF-10 TX -> matrix -> Module RX (illustrated)
