CatLinc VID
The CatLinc VID allows composite video connection and unbalanced stereo
audio connection between two devices using CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 twisted
pair cable. The CatLinc VID supports NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video signals.
Connection is made to devices using 3 standard RCA connectors. No con-
figuration is necessary.
The CatLinc VID
can extend a com-
posite video signal
up to 365m/1200ft
over standard
CAT5. For shorter
distances
(110m/350ft or
less), system
power may be attached at either the Transmitter or Receiver. For distances
greater than 110m/350ft, the CatLinc Transmitter and Receiver must both
be powered. In this case, an additional power supply must be separately
ordered (part no. CatLinc PS).
CatLinc S-VID
The CatLinc S-VID allows S-Video (YC) connection between two devices
using CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 twisted pair cable. Connection is made to
devices using standard S-Video mini-DIN connectors. No configuration is
necessary.
The CatLinc S-VID can extend an S-Video signal up to 365m/1200ft over
standard CAT5. For shorter distances (110m/350ft or less), system power
may be attached at either the Transmitter or Receiver. For distances greater
than 110m/350ft, the CatLinc Transmitter and Receiver must both be pow-
ered. In this case, an additional power supply must be separately ordered
(part no. CatLinc PS).

TROUBLESHOOTING Cont.’d
Image is Distorted:
-CatLinc HD: Verify that the video signal input on the CatLinc Receiver
matches the video signal output on the CatLinc Transmitter end. For exam-
ple, if Y (Luminance) is wired to Green RCA on the CatLinc Transmitter, the
Green RCA of the Receiver should be connected to the Y signal input on the
projector or
Image is Too Bright:
-CatLinc VID: Be sure the video signal is connected to the CatLinc
Receiver RCA input labeled VIDEO. Do not pass video through the audio
channels.
-CatLinc VGA-L: Be sure that the local loop-back cable is properly terminat-
ed at a second display device. If the loop-back VGA is not terminated, the
signal will be excessively bright. If you do not have a second display
device, a male VGA 75 ohm terminating plug can also be used (SP Controls
part no. CatLinc TERM).
Image Color is Not Correct:
-All Units: If the image is missing a color and you have confirmed that the
CAT5 cable is terminated properly, it may be the case that an improperly
crimped RJ-45 connector was inserted into the unit. If you terminated the
cables, verify that the contacts have been properly pushed down.
-CatLinc VGA/VGA-L: If one of the pairs in the CAT5 cable is not terminat-
ed properly in the RJ-45 connector, one of the colors (red, green, blue) may
not work. Try a different CAT5 cable or re-terminate the cable. Verify that the
cable and plug pinout agrees with the illustration in the CAT5 Wiring section
(pg. 7).
CatLinc Units Grow Warm:
-All Units: CatLinc Transmitters and Receivers typically run at a fairly warm
temperature during normal operation. This will not damage the units.
However, they should not become too hot to touch during normal operation.
If a CatLinc becomes unusually hot, unplug the unit and contact SP Controls
Technical Support.
