2.5 VSA-H-DP
The VSA-H-DP is a modular input plate that sends HDMI and audio to the receiver via 2x UTP cables.
VSA-H-DP Front and Rear
1. HDMI input with threaded insert for compatible locking HDMI cables.
2. Left and Right audio input on RCA connectors.
3. Power LED indicates power received from VSA-51-R. This should be active as long as the connection is good
and the VSA-51-R has power.
4. RJ45 Port A connects to Port A of HDMI/DVI on the VSA-51-R via Cat5e/6 cable.
5. RJ45 Port B connects to Port B of HDMI/DVI on the VSA-51-R via Cat5e/6 cable.
The HDMI/DVI connection from VSA-H-DP input wall plate to the VSA-51-R receiver consists of two twisted pair (UTP or
STP) cables. The receiver labels the pair of RJ45s as input 3 and each RJ45 is designated as Port A and Port B.
Port A carries high-speed digital video data, while port b carries low bandwidth audio, and handshake data. Therefore the
type of cables used can affect the distances that can be achieved.
For best results (particularly for distances over 50 ft / 15 meters), it is recommended that 23 gauge Cat6 (or higher) cable
be used for connection of Port B of the HDMI/DVI. All other UTP connections on the VSA-51 can be either Cat5e or Cat6
regardless of the distance.
