eBridge4CR Four (4) Port IP over Coax Receiver Installation Guide Z1409 I.T.E. 43KC Rev. 070912 More than just power.TM Installing Company: ________________ Service Rep. Name: ___________________________________ Address: ______________________________________________ Phone #: ___________________ Overview: Altronix eBridge4CR is a CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapter. The receiver enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be received over Coax cable. This plug and play unit facilitates system upgrades from analog to IP cameras/devices utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminating the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling. In addition, data transmission over the Coax can be extended to 500m (five times the 100m Ethernet maximum length), eliminating the need for repeaters. At the same time the unit can combine composite video signal with the Ethernet data enabling connection to an analog input on a monitor or matrix switch. eBridge4CR is to be used with compatible Sony Hybrid cameras with "sloc" technology. An eBridge1CT transceiver is required for other IP cameras/devices. Features: Agency Listings: · UL 60950-1 Information Technology Equipment. · CE European Conformity.

Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application. eBridge4CR is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. The eBridge4CR is intended for indoor use only. This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct Plug-in Power Unit marked "Class 2" and rated from 24VDC to 55VDC or 24VAC, 600mA. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). - 2 - eBridge4CR Installation Guide 1. Unit should be located in proximity to ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server. 2. Connect UL Listed 24VAC Class 2 plug-in transformer or 24VDC/56VDC (polarity not observed) UL Listed Class 2 power supply to jack marked [Power Input] using two pin plug in connector (supplied) (Fig. 1, pg. 3). Use 22AWG-16AWG wire for this connection. 3. Connect structured cable from ethernet switch/NVR (network video server) to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 1, pg. 3). 4. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Data In] (Fig. 1, pg. 3). 5. For optional simultaneous Composite Video transmission, connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Composite Video Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 4). Connect the other end of the Coax cable to the composite video input of the NVR, monitor display, matrix switch or other headend equipment. Note: The eBridge is designed to accommodate Megapixel, HD720, HD1080 and VGA (SD) cameras. It is important to note that some high resolution and high frame rate cameras may demand faster headend processing ability, such as a PC graphics card to present a quality image. If the headend processing equipment is insufficient in speed, the image may show pixelation and latency. It is advisable to pretest system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment. Technical Specifications: Parameter Description Connections BNC for Coax link. RJ45 for ethernet link.

Coax Structured Cable - 6 - Solutions and Installation Notes: Currently Matrix Switchers, DVRs and NVRs do not readily accommodate multi-picture (Matrix) monitor display capability (typically 4X4 16 channel display) for some of the higher resolution cameras. In addition, HD cameras use a wide screen format (16:9 aspect ratio). This may not fit as well into the matrix display as the standard screen format (4:3 aspect ratio). In addition, high resolution multichannel recording can introduce unacceptable latency in the real-time monitor display. To achieve high resolution recording along with real-time multi-channel viewing: Record the high resolution IP video via the NVR and the simultaneous composite video via the Matrix switcher to achieve proper display format (Fig. 4, pg. 6).
