Installation overview
To install and set up a CAT 5 transmitter and the associated
CAT 5 receiver(s) for operation, perform the following steps:
1
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
2
For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that
the internal jumpers are in the correct position (all models
except CAT 5 T AV). See Jumpers in this chapter.
3
Mount the transmitter in a rack, under a desk or podium,
or in a desk or table. See the instructions that
accompanied the mounting kit for specific information.
4
Connect the input cables. See Input cabling in this chapter.
5
Connect the cable(s) between the transmitter and the
CAT 5 receiver(s). See Transmitted signal cabling in this
chapter and refer to the CAT 5 Receiver Family User’s
Manual, part #68-547-01.
6
Configure the CAT 5 receiver(s). Refer to the CAT 5
Receiver Family User’s Manual, part #68-547-01.
7
Connect power cords to the CAT 5 receiver, the CAT 5
transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the
output display(s).
All CAT 5 transmitters include a 15V external power
supply. The transmitters also receive power from the
associated Extron CAT 5 receiver(s) via the CAT 5 cable.
Extron recommends using the local power supply;
however the power supply may not be necessary in some
applications. Use the following guidelines:
• The CAT 5 T 15HD A, CAT 5 T 15HD AV, and
CAT 5 T BNC may not require a local power supply
for cable lengths of 300 feet or less.
• The CAT 5 T AV may not require a local power
supply for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.
• The CAT 5 T BNC DA4 always requires the local
power supply.
If problems are encountered, use the local power supply.
8
Adjust the picture controls on the front panel of the
transmitter and receiver(s). See Front Panel Control and
Indicators in this chapter and refer to the CAT 5 Receiver
Family User’s Manual, part #68-547-01.

Jumpers
The two RGB video transmitters and the two computer
transmitters can be configured to transmit component video,
S-video, or composite video.
The transmitters are factory configured for RGB video.
To transmit any other type of video, reconfigure the
jumpers.
1. Remove the two screws on each side and the screw on top
of the cover (figure 2-1). Lift the cover straight up.
