Appendix G: Recommendation for Better Video
Quality
Deployment Recommendations
In the Paragon II system, video quality is usually affected by these factors:
Type of the user station: P2-UST, P2-EUST, or P2-EUST/C
UTP cable length between the user station and the CIM (server)
UTP cable type: Belden or non-Belden cable
P2-EUST and P2-EUST/C have the function of automatic skew compensation when used with
P2CIM-APS2, P2CIM-AUSB, P2CIM-AUSB-C or P2CIM-ASUN, and thus provides better
video quality than P2-UST. Belden cable is proven to provide better video quality than
non-Belden cable in Raritan’s lab. Therefore, our recommendation for good or even excellent
video quality is as follows:
With non-Belden cables
CABLE LENGTH (FEET) DEPLOYMENT
0 ~ 1000 * P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C
With Belden cables
CABLE LENGTH (FEET) DEPLOYMENT
500
P2-UST, P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C
501 ~ 1000 * P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C
*For P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C to provide automatic skew compensation, make sure this user
station is used with the appropriate CIM type: P2CIM-APS2, P2CIM-AUSB, P2CIM-AUSB-C,
P2CIM-APS2DUAL, P2CIM-ASUN, P2CIM-APS2-B, or P2CIM-AUSB-B.
Supported Resolutions on P2-EUST and P2-EUST/C
CABLE LENGTH (FEET) RESOLUTION VIDEO REFRESH RATE (HZ)
0 ~ 700 Up to 1600x1200 60, 75, 85
0 ~ 1000 Up to 1280x1024 60, 75, 85
0 ~ 1000 Up to 1920x1440** 60
