- Page 1 CTIVE ALANCED Installation and Operation Manual hank you for choosing AudioControl for your video distribution needs. You are installing one of the most innovative custom installation products available. These units will make any video distribution system perform at its best by using the highest quality active circuitry, instead of lower performance passive systems.
- Page 2 Pick mounting locations close to the units that will be connected to the BVD-10 or BVR-10. This keeps the unbalanced audio and video signal cables as short as possible since they are more susceptible to noise pickup than the balanced Cat- 5 cables.
- Page 3 CTIVE ALANCED Signal Wiring The BVD-10 / BVR-10 system operates using standard unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Category 5 wiring. Good wiring practices will minimize the chance of any noise pickup. • Do not run the signal cables parallel to AC power wiring.
- Page 4 If you require a high-quality image on an extended (over 1000 feet) run, then you should use a second pair of BVD-10/ BVR-10 as a repeater. This will provide the additional signal gain and cable compensation for the extra CAT-5 wiring.
- Page 5 CTIVE ALANCED The BVD-10 and BVR-10 are capable of extending two video channels. This can be two separate composite video signals OR one S-video signal. The reason you are limited to one S-video signal is that it is actually comprised of two video signals;...

- Page 10 Properly adjusting the level controls will give you the highest headroom and the best signal to noise ratio. Please note that the BVD-10 Audio Gain control is capable of up to 20 dB of gain while the Audio Output level control on the BVR-10 is attenuate only.
- Page 11 Cable Compensation control. Note that this control is labeled in distance. Estimate approximately how long the cable run is from the BVD-10 to the BVR-10 (no need to be precise here) and adjust the Cable Compensation control for that distance. It is useful to have a video test signal or a television picture with strong vertical lines to make the final adjustments.
- Page 12 CTIVE ALANCED “No Picture or Sound.” 1.Make certain the BVD-10 and BVR-10 both show power lights. 2.Verify that the Cat-5 cable is properly terminated on both ends. 3.Verify the signal connection cables. 4.Make certain the Cat-5 cable run does NOT go through an Ethernet Router or hub.
- Page 13 (i.e. shield, conduit, cold water pipe, plenum). “The sound is distorted.” 1.The output level on the BVD-10 may be set too high. 2.The signal level feeding into the unbalanced RCA audio inputs of the BVD-10 is too high (not likely with con-...
- Page 14 If you meet all of these conditions, we will warrant all materials and workmanship on the BVD-10 / BVR-10 for FIVE YEARS from the date you bought it, and we will fix or replace it, at our option, during that time.
- Page 15 / BVR-10, that voids your warranty. 5.The warranty is also void if the serial number is altered or removed, or if the BVD-10 / BVR-10 has been used improperly. Now that sounds like a big loophole, but here is all we mean by it: Unwarranted abuse is: (A) physical damage (don’t use the...
