Frequently Asked Questions - VT-HD-EX2 Vitek

What is the maximum distance the VT-HD-EX2 can extend an HD-SDI signal?

With high quality RG6Q cable, the VT-HD-EX2 can extend 1080P HD-SDI signals up to 700 feet from the source or DVR. For SD signals, up to 1400 feet. On Full HD (1080p@50/60 fps), up to 350 feet.

Can I daisy-chain multiple VT-HD-EX2 units?

Yes, up to four VT-HD/EX2 extenders can be configured in series for a total distance of up to 3600 feet from camera to DVR.

What kind of cable is recommended for best performance?

High quality 75Ω coaxial cable such as Belden 1503AR1694A RG6Q is recommended. For HD signals, cable bandwidth must exceed 1.5 Gbps; for Full HD, exceed 3 Gbps.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The Green LED indicates power (ON/OFF). The Blue LED indicates SDI signal input status: ON when a valid SDI signal is detected, OFF when no signal.

What video formats does the VT-HD-EX2 support?

It supports 1080P, 1080i, 720P, NTSC, and PAL video signals.

Does the VT-HD-EX2 require external power?

Yes, it requires a DC 5V 1A power supply (included).

Is the VT-HD-EX2 compatible with 3G-SDI?

Yes, it supports 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M) as well as SDI and HD-SDI.

What is the warranty period for Vitek products?

Vitek products carry a three (3) year limited warranty from the date of purchase by the end user.

Can I use the VT-HD-EX2 to split an HD-SDI signal to two displays?

Yes, the VT-HD/EX2 has a built-in 1x2 output splitter, allowing one HD-SDI camera to feed two HD monitors or DVRs.

What are the physical dimensions of the VT-HD-EX2?

The unit measures 1.92" x 5.52" x 1" (48.7 x 140.3 x 25.2 mm) and weighs 5.65 oz (160 g).
