Model SKU-RGB
1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing Model SKU-RGB, a member of the Mini-CAT® video extension and
distribution product line. The SKU-RGB is an interface that enables the user to correct the skew of
individual RGB colors of a VGA or component video (YPbPr) signal that has been transmitted over
a Cat5/5e/6 cable. The SKU-RGB is designed to correct images with colors that have become
skewed or shifted due to lengthy Cat5/5e/6 cable runs. This problem occurs in Cat5/5e/6 cable
because the pairs of wires are twisted at different rates.
The longer the cable runs, the greater the difference in time there will be between the arrival of
colors at the display device. The SKU-RGB is able to compensate for this delay by delaying
reception of one or more of the color signals.
The SKU-RGB is designed for VGA and component video (YPbPr). This means that it is
compatible with all types of video transmission systems, regardless of proprietary differences in
design, so long as the video originates as or is converted to VGA or component video.
The unit can be hooked up at either the source or the display side of the video run. Color selection
and adjustments are made with push button switches and reflected by colored LEDs located on the
front of the unit.
