* When using VGA modes with audio enabled, the maximum

 

cable distance is approximately 200 m / 650’.

Note: The maximum distances indicated above are not absolute, but are recommended distances that have been tested to deliver video at the specified resolutions, without significant signal degradation. In particular, lower resolutions (640 x 480, 720 x 480 and 800 x 600) can often be delivered significantly further than what is indicated in the table. Refer to the UDM Hub’s Operation/Reference Guide for additional details on maximum cable distances.

Video Compensation

Video at the Receive end can be compensated using three main methods;

Using the UDM Hub’s WebConsole

Using the UDM-RC02 Multi-Format IR Remote Control

Using a hyper terminal session via the serial connector on the UDM-RX02 (especially effective setup method when using long runs)

Connecting an External IR Receiver Module

If passthrough mode (where a device such as a DVD or VCR can be controlled via a UDM-RC02 Multi-Format IR Remote Control) is required then an IR03 External IR Receiver Module will be needed to pick up IR controls from the remote control.

Additionally, if the UDM-RX02 is to be compensated via a remote control, then an IR Receiver Module is also needed.

Connecting the UDM-RX02 Receiver to the UDM Hub

The RJ45 port on the front panel of the UDM-0102 Hub labelled “UDM” supports one UDM-RX02 Receiver. The UDM-RX02 is then be connected to a display device.

1.Connect a standard Cat5/6 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port labelled UDM on the front panel of the UDM hub.

2.Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port labelled UDM Hub on the rear panel of the UDM-RX02.

Note: Ensure the UDM Hub port the RX02 is attached to is configured correctly within the Hub’s configuration software. Also ensure the correct Audio Type (Analog L/R, S/PDIF, or None) is selected for the relevant input.

UDM HUB Port LEDs

2LEDs are visible at the UDM Hub port (on the UDM-RX02) when the UDM-0102 is switched on:

Green – Connection to UDM-0102 (if Cat 5 removed, LED switches off).

Amber – Power (as well as comms if uploading protocols etc. the Amber LED may flicker).

Powering on the UDM-RX02

The UDM-RX02 may be powered by its hub device through a standard CAT5 cable, but it may also be powered through an optional 24 VDC power supply (FG-UDM-PS) intended to augment power for very long cable runs.

To connect the UDM-RX02 to the optional power supply, insert the barrel connector of the power supply into the power connector on the UDM-RX02 (see FIG. 2).

To power down the UDM-RX02, remove the barrel connector of the power supply from the power connector and then remove the Ethernet cable from the UDM Hub connector.

Note: Disconnecting the optional power supply will not power down the UDM-RX02 if its Ethernet connection to the UDM Hub is intact.
