Channel Plus SVC-10 warranty Overview, Controls and Connections, Frequently Asked Questions

OVERVIEW

The SVC-10 is a complete audio/video/IR over CAT-5 tranmission system. Each SVC-10 includes a rack-mountable transmitter and a small receiver unit. The SVC-10 can transmit either composite video or S-video and either Pro-logic encoded analog stereo or Digital audio. The SVC-10 transmitter can be adjusted to compensate for CAT-5 cable losses up to 1000 feet. In addition, an IR target can be used with the receiver to control the remote source.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:Can I transmit composite video from one source and s-video from another source at the same time?

A:No, the SVC-10 can only handle either composite or s-video - not both.

Q:Can I connect a CD player’s left&right analog outputs and the digital coax from a DVD to the SVC-10?

A:Yes, but only one device can be used at a time. If you are transmitting digital audio, make sure your CD player is off. Likewise, if you are using the CD player, make sure the DVD player is off.

Q:What happens if I use both the coax digital and optical connector at the same time?

A:The coax digital always overrides the optical signal. When the coax digital connector is plugged into the unit, the optical signal is ignored, even if there is no signal on the coax cable.

Q: Can the SVC-10 transmit farther than 1000 feet?

A:Yes, but the system only compensates for up to 1000 feet. The SVC-10 is optimized for lengths from 0 to 1000 feet. Operating beyond this is possible but not recommended.

Q: Can I expand the SVC-10 using an expansion panel to connect several receivers to a single transmitter?

A:No, the SVC-10 system is designed to work point-to-point. It is not designed to be expanded at this time.

Q: What digital formats is the SVC-10 compatible with?

A:All commonly available formats such as PCM, Dolby Digital® (AC-3), Dolby Digital Surround EX®, DTS® and DTSES®.

Q:How do I set the length adjustment if I don’t know how long my CAT-5 run is?

A:You can adjust the control until the picture looks normal for contrast and brightness.
