Overview
1.1. Description
The Active CCTV Receiver Balun (Active Balun)
allows CCTV video signals to be transmitted up to 1
mile (1.6 km) via a Category 5E/6 twisted pair cable
when used in conjunction with MuxLab’s passive
CCTV Balun (500000 or 500009) at the camera end.
The Active Balun features Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) and Ground Loop Blocking (GLB) for reliable
and stable image quality. Once installed, no adjustments
to the Active Balun are needed.
The Active Balun automatically adjusts the brightness,
sharpness and color intensity of the video signal based
on the actual cable conditions such as cable grade,
distance, environmental effects on the cable, etc. Once
installed, there is no further need to go on-site to check
the video signal. Any further enhancements to the image
may be made at the camera, monitor, multiplexer or
DVR. The product requires a 24V, 2W AC power
supply (not included) and connects directly to the video
multiplexer or switcher. It features screw terminals with
built-in strain relief for ease of installation.
