SVC-10
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.
