1.1 General This User’s Manual covers both the splitters (senders) and the Remote Receivers. The splitters can be any of the following models: UVA-2, UVA-4, UVA-8, or UVA-24. For these units, the number after the dash represents the quantity of RJ45 outputs.
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitters and Receiver 1.2 Features • Support for local monitor and speaker at sending end • Handles resolutions up to 1920x1200 at any refresh rate • Rugged, Reliable, Compact size • No software required • Drive standard CAT5 cables to 1000 feet •...
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitter and Receiver 2. Installation Connect the VGA IN and AUDIO IN connectors of the UVA-x to the computer's video and speaker ports using the supplied cables (see figures 2.1 and 2.2). Connect the local monitor and speakers to the device's VGA OUT and AUDIO OUT connectors respectively.
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitters and Receiver CAUTION Before plugging in the remote monitor, verify that the AC line is properly wired and that a protective ground (green) wire is established with NO potential difference between both the sender and receiver locations. The splitter can tolerate up to 5 v peak-to-peak ground potential between the two locations.
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitter and Receiver Receiver Several receiver types are available (URA-x). All Receivers have a single COMPENSATION potentiometer (pot) adjustment to recover high frequency signal loss for long runs of the cable. The Model URA-X2 has 2 identical VGA outputs and 2 Audio outputs. It acts as if a standard URA was followed by a video and audio splitter.
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitters and Receiver UTP Cable Recommendations GREEN GREEN BLUE BLUE Figure 3.1 UTP cables have 4 twisted pairs inside. The UVA/URA video transmission on UTP uses 3 individual pairs for each color (Red, Green, & Blue). As shown in figure 3.1 above, a characteristic of Category-5/5e/6 cable is that the pairs of wires are twisted at different rates.
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitter and Receiver If you are going to use commercial grade UTP cable, then we recommend using Cat5 or Cat5e rather than Cat6, since the twist ratio match is better in Cat5 cable. 3.2.3 Volume Control (applies to Model URA-VOL only) On this receiver 2 audio outputs are available, "AUDIO OUT”...

Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitters and Receiver You can point your browser to http://www.hallresearch.com/skew.htm for an image that allows you to adjust the compensation and also evaluate the amount of color skew in your setup. If you determine that you have excessive color skew, then you must either consider using Zero-Skew UTP cable, or if that is not possible, use a secondary device whose job is to correct the color skew (please contact Hall Research for details).
Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitter and Receiver Poor audio quality at the receiving end Only use powered speakers with the splitter and receivers. It is also good practice to set the audio level (volume) output of the PC about 1/2 to 2/3 from the maximum and use the volume knob of the speakers to adjust the volume to the desired level.
All units except UVA-24: from utility-power (mains) outlet, through included external power adapters. Output Voltage: 6 DC Center-Positive. Power supply current requirements: 300 ma minimum for UVA-2 and URA, 500 ma minimum for UVA-4 and UVA-8. UVA-24: Directly from 100~220 VAC Size &...
