VideoEase CCTV Pass-Thru Balun (500022)
Quick Installation Guide
Introduction
The VideoEase CCTV Pass-Thru Balun (500022) allows video, remote power and
2-wire pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) control signals to be transmitted via one 4-pair Cat 5
cable, thus eliminating the need to install multiple cables for more efficient cabling.
The Pass-Thru Balun may be used in pairs or it may be installed at the camera and
connected to standard twisted pair cross connect devices at the remote end. The
product is fully compatible with other MuxLab CCTV baluns such as the 500000,
500009, 500023 and 500015.
Installation
The CCTV Pass-Thru Balun supports connectivity for video, remote power and control
via one four-pair twisted pair cable. It is not mandatory that all signals be present. One
or more of these signals may be present. To install the VideoEase CCTV Pass-Thru
Balun at the camera, perform the following steps:
Connect Video:
1. Identify the pin configuration of the CCTV Pass-Thru Balun. One twisted pair
is required for each camera video signal. Note: The CCTV Balun is reverse
polarity sensitive. Please ensure that “Ring” is connected to “Ring” and “Tip”
is connected to “Tip”.
2. Plug the Pass-Thru Balun into the BNC connector of the CCTV camera
Connect PTZ Control (optional):
3. If pan,tilt, zoom (PTZ) control signals (i.e.; RS422) are being sent to the
camera, first ensure that PTZ controls are turned off before making any
connections.
