Baseband Video Baluns

Baseband Video Over UTP Baluns

PV840 Series

The ETS PV840 Series of Extended Baseband Video Baluns allows you the freedom to use UTP instead of costly coax to transmit baseband video signals throughout your facility, with better signal characteristics, at a lower cost. Depending on your application, you may be able to utilize previously installed wiring, with a corresponding dramatic improvement in cost of installation. The most recent addition to the series is the PV845, Quad Balun. You can transmit 4 distinct baseband video signals on a single run of Cat5 or better UTP, utilizing all four pairs in the cable. Since each pair has a carefully balance signal on it, you can run video in two directions on different pairs simultaneously.Applications include ALL baseband video applications,Security and Surveillance, Video Terminals, Displays. Bandwidth 0 to 60 MHz

PV860 Series

The ETS PV860 Series of NTSC Baseband Video Baluns are the original video balun for use in adapting baseband video to run over UTP. In comparison to our PV840 baluns, the PV860 offers potentially greater run lengths, depending on cable quality, due to careful impedance matching. Conversely, the frequency range of the PV860 is lower – the PV840 offers high end response for better sync response. Applications include Security and Surveillance, Most baseband video applications. Bandwidth 0 to 4.5 MHz.

Baseband Video & Stereo Audio Over UTP Baluns

PV900 Series

The ETS PV900 and PV901 Baseband Audio/Video Baluns are meant to be utilized for point to point replacement of coaxial (video) and shielded (high impedance audio) cables with UTP wiring, Category 5 or better. The PV900 (with a BNC video input plus dual RCA jacks for audio) and the PV901 (with 3 RCA jacks for all inputs) are designed for installations that have a need for separate audio channels. For example, some VCRs and Video Cameras have video plus stereo outputs available on three RCA jacks. The PV901 can run these signals using three of the four pairs in standard UTP cable. New to the series is the PV905 which allows you to send two channels each of baseband video and audio in any direction desired. This capability yields, for instance, a bi-directional video + mono audio link, or many other configurations.

The PV902 uses the industry standard 4 pin mini-DIN connector for video, and RCA jacks for the two audio channels. This arrangement complements the connectors on most high-end consumer and Y/C format professional video devices. Used in pairs to adapt both ends of a run of Category 5 or better cable, the result is clean, transparent video and audio transmitted over distances in excess of 300 meters using all 4 Pairs.Applications include Schools, Classrooms, Auditoriums, Home Theater, Security & Surveillance, Satellite TV Facilities, Personal Computers. Bandwidth - Video to 60 MHz, Audio to 20 kHz.

Isolated Baseband Video Baluns

PV950 Series

The PV950 Isolated Video Balun from ETS is designed for baseband (CCTV), NTSC, PAL and SECAM signals. The PV950 blocks the effects of ground loops (the visual ripples and warps in the video image, often referred to as “hum bars”) when sending baseband video signals over Category 5 or better 100 Ohm Twisted Pair Cabling. (UTP or STP) The PV950 uses special circuitry (patent applied for) to block noise ingress at the point of entry to the Category 5 cabling, yielding a better transmission medium for baseband video, especially over the longer distances required by many current applications. The baluns, passive (no power required) devices, convert baseband signals from the 75 Ohm coax cabling of any source equipment. The PV950 creates a balanced signal and sends it over 100 Ohm UTP wiring, then converts back at the receiving end, yielding excellent picture quality. Bandwidth 6 Hz to 9.5 MHz.
