Appendix G: Recommendation for Better Video
Quality
Deployment Recommendations
In Paragon II system, video quality is usually affected by these factors:
− Type of User Station: P2-UST or P2-EUST
− UTP cable length between the User Station and the CIM (server)
− UTP cable type: Belden or non-Belden cable
P2-EUST has the function of automatic skew compensation when used with P2CIM-APS2,
P2CIM-AUSB, or P2CIM-ASUN, and the like, and thus provides better video quality than
P2-UST. Belden cable is proven to provide better video quality than non-Belden cable in
Raritan’s lab. Therefore, our recommendation for good or even excellent video quality is as
follows:
• With non-Belden cables
CABLE LENGTH (FEET) DEPLOYMENT
0 ~ 1000 * P2-EUST
• With Belden cables
CABLE LENGTH (FEET) DEPLOYMENT
< 500 or = 500 P2-UST or P2-EUST
501 ~ 1000 * P2-EUST
* For P2-EUST to provide automatic skew compensation, make sure this User Station is used
with the appropriate CIM type: P2CIM-APS2, P2CIM-AUSB, P2CIM-APS2DUAL,
P2CIM-ASUN, P2CIM-APS2-B, or P2CIM-AUSB-B.
Supported Resolutions on P2-EUST
CABLE LENGTH (FEET) RESOLUTION VIDEO REFRESH RATE (HZ)
0 ~ 700 Up to 1600x1200 60, 75, 85
0 ~ 1000 Up to 1280x1024 60, 75, 85
