Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The S-Video Balun allows a single S-Video signal to be transmitted via an unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable in a point-to-point connection for more versatile cabling.
The product is available in two models: The S-Video Balun (500016) and the S-Video/Audio Balun
(500017). Used in pairs, the S-Video Balun eliminates costly and bulky S-Video cables, allowing S-
Video equipment to be connected or moved to any convenient modular outlet. The S-Video Balun
works in conjunction with MuxLab’s CCTV-Audio/Video Distribution Hub (500200), allowing S-
Video programming to be distributed via UTP. The 500017 has a 20 Hz- 20 kHz bandwidth for Hi-
Fidelity applications.
Applications
The S-Video Balun allows pre-existing twisted pair cables to be used in such applications as
classroom video distribution, overhead projector systems, PC-training systems and tradeshow
PC-demo systems in the S-Video environment.
