3.3. Pre-Installation Checklist
The Component Video Hub provides a centralized component video
distribution center via copper twisted pair cabling.
1. The Component Video Hub is typically installed in a remote telecom room
and is connected to the component video source and display devices via
Cat5 twisted pair. MuxLab component video baluns are installed at each
component video devices to support the connection to the hub via Cat5
cable.
2. For optimum performance and to support HDTV (720p, 1080i/p)
resolution, the Component Video Hub is used in conjunction with
MuxLab’s passive Component Video Baluns (p/ns 500050, 500051,
500052, 500053).
3. The Component Video Hub will also work with third party vendor baluns,
providing the pin configuration and signal polarity are compatible.
However, performance specifications may be affected.
3.4. Physical Installation
The Component Video Hub has two models; 8-port desktop (500250, 500251)
and 16-port rack-mount (500252, 500253).
