No video at the output | 1. | Confirm that your sources and output devices are powered on and connected properly. |
device | 2. | Confirm that all devices in the signal path have the proper input and/or output selected. |
| 3. | Try to invert polarity, using the polarity switch |
| 4. | Use a Video Tester to examine the video path leading to/from your Twisted Pair |
|
| Interface /Kramer Tool (see section 3.2 " Video Tester") |
Video level is too high or | 1. | The Twisted Pair Interfaces/Kramer Tools in this manual (except for the |

| that the twisted line is well matched, otherwise it results in a video level that is too |
|
| high or too dim when looping is performed and the termination switches are not in |
|
| proper position (see section 11.2 for more details). |
| 2. | Confirm that the input and output connecting cables are of high quality, properly built |
|
| and terminated with 75 ohms. |
| 3. | Check level controls located on your source input device, output display, or recorder. |
Signal quality degradation: | Inappropriate cables usually have excessive | |

| To solve the problem perform the following: | |
| 1. | Use high quality, non- shielded cables (UTP type) for the longer distances (Multi |
|
| Twisted Cable Wire is recommended). |
| 2. | Use a line amplifier from the TP series (such as the |

| signal degradation. You may cascade several line amplifiers to extend the range. |
|
| Connect the line amplifier as close as possible to the video source. |
