Installation overview
To install and set up a CAT 5 transmitter and the associated
CAT 5 receiver(s) for operation, perform the following steps:
1 Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
2 For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that
the internal jumpers are in the correct position (all models
except CAT 5 T AV). See Jumpers in this chapter.
3 Mount the transmitter in a rack, under a desk or podium,
or in a desk or table. See the instructions that
accompanied the mounting kit for specific information.
4 Connect the input cables. See Input cabling in this chapter.
5 Connect the cable(s) between the transmitter and the
CAT 5 receiver(s). See Transmitted signal cabling in this
chapter and refer to the CAT 5 Receiver Family User’s
Manual, part #68-547-01.
6 Configure the CAT 5 receiver(s). Refer to the CAT 5
Receiver Family User’s Manual, part #68-547-01.
7 Connect power cords to the CAT 5 receiver, the CAT 5
transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the
output display(s).
All CAT 5 transmitters include a 15V external power
supply. The transmitters also receive power from the
associated Extron CAT 5 receiver(s) via the CAT 5 cable.
Extron recommends using the local power supply;
however the power supply may not be necessary in some
applications. Use the following guidelines:
• The CAT 5 T 15HD A, CAT 5 T 15HD AV, and
CAT 5 T BNC may not require a local power supply
for cable lengths of 300 feet or less.
• The CAT 5 T AV may not require a local power
supply for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.
• The CAT 5 T BNC DA4 always requires the local
power supply.
If problems are encountered, use the local power supply.
8 Adjust the picture controls on the front panel of the
transmitter and receiver(s). See Front Panel Control and
Indicators in this chapter and refer to the CAT 5 Receiver
Family User’s Manual, part #68-547-01.

Jumpers
The two RGB video transmitters and the two computer
transmitters can be configured to transmit component video,
S-video, or composite video.
The transmitters are factory configured for RGB video.
To transmit any other type of video, reconfigure the
jumpers.
1 . Remove the two screws on each side and the screw on top
of the cover (figure 2-1). Lift the cover straight up.
