Frequently Asked Questions - UV1-S Hall Research

What is the maximum resolution supported by the Hall Research UV1-S extender?

The UV1-S supports resolutions up to 1920x1440 non-interlaced at 60 Hz.

What type of cable should I use to connect the sender to the receiver?

Use standard CAT5, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, wired per EIA/TIA 568B straight-through standard. Do not use crossover cables.

How far can I extend the video signal?

The UV1-S can extend VGA or component video up to 500 feet (152 meters) over CAT5 cable.

Can I power the receiver from the sender?

Yes, for cable runs less than 330 feet (100 meters), a single power supply connected to the sender can power both the sender and receiver(s) via the CAT5 cable.

What if my cable run is longer than 330 feet?

If the CAT5 run exceeds 330 feet, the receiver may need its own power supply (sold separately, Hall Research model 511-GS569). The power LED may blink to indicate insufficient power.

How do I adjust the picture quality on the receiver?

Use the compensation potentiometer on the receiver. Start with it fully counterclockwise (least compensation), then slowly turn clockwise until the image is sharp and clear, avoiding horizontal bleeding.

Is the UV1-S compatible with component video (YPbPr)?

Yes, the UV1-S supports analog component video (YPbPr or RGB) using an HD15 to 3 RCA cable (sold separately or included with some packages).

Can I connect multiple receivers to one UV1-S sender?

No, the UV1-S has only one RJ45 output, so it can connect to a single receiver. For multiple displays, use a sender with multiple outputs like the UV2-S (2 outputs) or UV4-S/UV8-S.

What is the power supply voltage and polarity?

The external power supply provides 9 V DC with center-positive polarity. Do not substitute any other power supply without contacting the factory.

Does the UV1-S have a local monitor output?

No, the UV1-S does not have a local loop-out port. For a local monitor, consider the UV1-SL or other models with a local output.

1.0 General Description

This User's Manual covers the Mini-Cat® series of high-resolution PC or HDTV component video transmission system.

The transmission systems are comprised of one Sender unit and one or more Receiver units. They enable you to split and extend a PC VGA video or analog Component HDTV signal up to 500 feet.

A unique feature of the system is that in most installations only one power supply is enough to power the sender and the receiver(s). All sender units can supply power to all the receivers connected to them via the Cat5 cable. If the cable is longer than 330 feet or 100 m then the receiver may require a separate supply. Conversely, in the case of 1-to-1 setups, the Receiver unit can also supply power to the Sender (only when the Sender is a single channel).

VGA + Power Over UTP

The characteristics of the Sender units are summarized below:

Feature	Local Loop Out	RJ45 Outputs	Power Over UTP	Wall Mount
UV1-S	No	1	Yes	No
UV1-S-DP	No	1	Yes	Yes
UV1-S-WP	No	1	Yes	Yes
UV1-SL	Yes	1	Yes	No
UV1-SL-DP	Yes	1	Yes	Yes
UV2-S	Yes	2	Yes	No
UV4-S	Yes	4	Yes	No
UV8-S	Yes	8	Yes	No

Table 1 - Sender Characteristics

Note: For Cat-5 runs of over 330 feet, the receivers may need their own additional supplies sold separately (HRT model # 511-GS569).

1.1 Note for -CV models:

The Mini-Cat ^® series senders can be built to extend Composite Video and Stereo Audio up to 2000 feet, and are sold with HD15 to 3 RCA A/V cables. These models are labeled with -CV (e.g.: UV2-S-CV) and are not compatible with VGA signals. The Model UV1-SL is also capable of extending Composite Video & Stereo Audio by setting a dip switch (see section 3.2).

2.0 Features

• Transmit video and power on one cable
- Senders with multiple outputs for splitting to multiple displays
• Handles resolutions up to 1920x1440
• Drives standard CAT5 cables to 500 feet
• Adjustable cable length compensation at each receiver
• Only one power supply required for sender and all receivers
• Rugged, Reliable, Compact size

3.0 Setup and Operation

A. Place the sender near the video source and connect it to your source using the cable provided.

• For PC's VGA output use a HD15 male-to-male cable (generally a short cable may be included with your package)
• For RGB or YPbPr sources, use a HD15 to 3 RCA cable (Hall Research Model # CHD15-3RCA-length 03 = 3ft, 06 = 6 ft).

●

B. Use an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or a Shielded Twisted pair (STP) cable such as Cat5, 5e, or 6 wired per standard 568B to connect the sender to the receiver(s). See Section 3.1 for important cable selection considerations.

C. At each remote site connect a receiver to the Cat5 cable and plug your display to its HD15 output connector.
D. Plug a power supply to the System based on the type of the sender used. In general, you should connect the power supply to the Sender unit. However, follow these suggestions for best performance.

• If the sender has more than one RJ45 output then the power supply must be connected to the sender.
• If the system is comprised of only one sender and one receiver, then you can supply power at either the sender or the receiver.

Wallplate Power Connection

The wall plate units have a 2 pin screw terminal for power connection on the back of the unit. You need to connect 6 vDC (could be 6 to 9vDC) to these terminals.

In your package there is either of the 2 power supplies pictured. There is also a 2.5 ~mm Jack included in the package so that you don't have to cut the connector at the end of the power supply. If you decide not to cut off the power supply connector, then solder a pair of wires to the enclosed jack and connect those to the power terminals.

Using the supplied 2.5mm Jack also gives you the ability to place the power supply outside the wall. You can use a separate single gang plate and install the supplied jack on it and wire it to the terminals on the back of the wall units.

You can use 20 awg or heavier wire to extend the DC output cord of the power supply if you need to locate the power supply farther from the device. It is recommended to keep the distance of the supply from the unit to within 30 feet.

Note: Please do not connect the power supply to the AC source until you have securely connected the output cords to the Wall Plate Mini-Cat unit.

Electrical Safety Note

Since the DC supply to the unit is only 6 to 9 vDC with minimal current requirements, the product qualifies as a Class 2 low-voltage device, and you are not required to run the DC cables in a conduit. However if you will be installing the power supply in the wall or ceiling, since it has to plug in to AC, you need an electrical junction box for it, and the AC line that brings high-voltage to the junction-box should follow the electrical code for your specific installation

E. Apply a video source to the system and check for an image at each receiver, then set the compensation Potentiometer (pot) for best possible image. Start with the compensation pot fully CCW (least compensation), then slowly turn it clockwise and check for the bleeding of left to right horizontal lines on the screen. See Figure 3.

Figure 3

3.1 Important note regarding selecting the UTP Cable

First of all, UTP (unshielded) is preferred over STP (shielded) unless you are running the cable very close to AC power lines, power transformers, or ballasts of fluorescent lights, where EMI (electro-magnetic interference) can get into the video if it is strong enough.

Secondly, for best results especially for distances of over 150 feet, it is highly recommended to use a Zero-Skew Cat5 cable. (Part # CUTP-Z-1000).

VGA + Power Over UTP

This cable ensures that the horizontal alignment of the red, green, and blue components of the video signal is maintained regardless of the length of the Cat5 cable. In this cable, the number of twists in each of the 4 pairs in the cable is the same. If you do not use a Zero Skew cable and feel that the RGB alignment is off by an unacceptable level, then you can use a Skew Corrector (Hall Research Model SKU-RGB) at the display device if desired.

• For Cat5 runs of over 330 ft, you may need to connect a power supply to the sender as well as the receiver. This is due to the fact that the resistance of the cable causes a voltage drop from the sender to the receiver and the voltage level of the power at the receiver may not be sufficient for proper operation. This extra power supply must be ordered separately (Model 511-GS569).
• When using one supply for the system, if the power supply voltage is not enough due to the length of the Cat5 cable run, the power LED on some units may start blinking. This signifies that you need to attach another power supply to the unit that is currently being port powered.

3.2 Dip Switch Settings for the Model UV1-SL

The UV1-SL can be used to transmit Composite Video and Stereo Audio as well as VGA to the receiver. However since the Video signals are terminated differently than audio, you need to move the dip switch to the proper position.

Figure 4

Use the Mode Dip Switch to select the video type for transmission.

The Sync Dip Switch is used to change the polarity of sync at the receiver. If your remote display has trouble positioning the right and left edges of the screen, then try putting the switch in the +/+ position.
