AMX CAT-5 RGBHV RX Quick Start Manual

Overview
CatPro RGBHV+Stereo Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) Modules work together or
work in conjunction with CatPro RGBHV+Stereo boards on an AMX AutoPatch
Distribution Matrix. This guide contains complete information for stand-alone use.
For use with a distribution matrix, see the distribution matrix's instruction manual on
the AMX AutoPatch CD or visit www.amx.com.

Module Installation

Note: The modules shown have audio connectors. They are also available without audio.
Important: Always use a UL approved power source. Check the power source's
documentation for information specific to that power source.
To attach source device connectors & power to the TX Module:

Power
FIG. 1
Attach source device connectors & power to TX
1. Insert the audio mini-jack (3.5 mm) and the HD-15 connector into the Audio In
and the Video In connectors.
2. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the UTP/STP Out receptacle.
3. Plug the power cord* into the power jack and into the power source.
4. Optional – To use the Local Out option, insert the audio mini-jack and the HD-15
connector into the Local Out connectors.
* If you use the (optional) AutoPatch wall transformer, the side of the wire with the
white stripe is positive and the other side is ground.
To attach destination device connectors & power to the RX Module:

Power RJ-45
FIG. 2
Attach destination device connectors & power to RX
1. Insert the HD-15 connector and wire the audio connector (unbalanced).
2. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the UTP/STP In receptacle.
3. Plug the power cord* into the power jack and into the power source.
4. If the destination display needs adjusting, see the "Adjusting the Picture" topic.
TX & RX HD-15 Pinouts
HD-15 connectors on TX and RX Modules use the pinouts in FIG. 3.
