Active HD CCTV Receiver Balun
Quick Installation Guide
1. Overview
The Active HD CCTV Receiver Balun (IC553A) allows one HD-SDI signal with
power and control lines to be transmitted up to 150 ft. (45 m) via a CAT6 cable at
HD resolution (720p, 1080i) in a point-to-point configuration. The balun supports
transmission of SDI digital video (including embedded Audio and/or Time Code)
within facilities and between video equipment. The IC553A is installed at the
receiver location and used with the IC552A installed at the remote camera
location. Use the baluns in HD CCTV surveillance systems and HD-SDI camera
systems.
2. Installation
One receiver-side balun and one transmitter-side balun is needed to establish a
point-to-point connection via a single UTP cable. The transmitter side must have a
an IC552A. Power for the unit may be provided via the remote camera power (12
VDC or 24 VAC) if present, or via the external 5-VDC power supply that is includ-
ed with the IC553A.
To install the balun, perform the following steps:
CAUTION: Do not attempt to open the housing. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the balun. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
CAUTION: Do not connect the IC553A to a telecommunication outlet wired to
unrelated equipment. Making such a connection may damage the
equipment and/or the balun. Verify that the desired twisted pairs are
not being used for other LAN or telephone equipment.
