System Setup & Requirements - AMX Optima AVS-OP-1616-110 Instruction Manual

CatPro (RJ-45) Connectors
CatPro Supported Cable
Note: Skew-free cable is not recommended for use with AMX AutoPatch equipment.
To guarantee 1,000 feet (305 m) skew compensation, the inter-pair skew must equal <20 ns /100 m. The
cables should be tested for skew which will determine whether the run has less than 62 ns skew and is
within 1,000 feet (305 m).
To attach CatPro outputs:
1.
Insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the output RJ-45 receptacles (FIG. 106).

System Setup & Requirements
An Optima RGBHV+Stereo to CatPro system works in conjunction with the CatPro RGBHV+Stereo
RX Module FG1010-48 (see page 141). The CatPro (RJ-45) output connector on the board functions as
a transmitter (TX), allowing the signals to be sent over any of the supported cable types to the CatPro
RX (Receiver) Module (or to Modula CatPro Input boards) and from there to the destination monitors.
A typical setup is illustrated in FIG. 107. The hardware on the module is used to clear the image by
adjusting gain and peak and by compensating for skew.
