tap the supply from another 24 VAC transformer if it's
handy.
Handy Tip: For remote applications the BVD-10 and
BVR-10 will work very well from a 12 volt battery
supply. There is a small decrease in the maximum audio
signal level headroom, but the video performance is
unaffected by the reduced supply voltage.
Cat-5 Wiring
The RJ-45 connection on the BVD-10 and BVR-10
conform to the EIA-568B standard. This is the same Cat-5
cable wiring standard that a typical
computer network utilizes. You can
use any existing 10/100Base-T
network cabling and patch bays in an
installation as long as it does not run
through a router or hub. The Cat-5
wiring must run directly from the
BVD-10 to the BVR-10.
While the Active-Balanced video
components are designed to operate
with full-quality video on up to 1000
feet of CAT-5 wiring, it is possible
to get a very usable image up to
2000 feet away. There will be a slight softening to the
picture, but many people would not even notice this. 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.
