VideoBloX Twisted Pair Video Solution
Unshielded Twisted Pair cabling is a proven installation method that can reduce the cost of a
CCTV system and provide high immunity to interference. Honeywell’s solution with active
video transmitters and video input module with built in active UTP receiver, allows for direct
connection to UTP cabling via a simple RJ45 connector.
HVB16TPTX UTP Video Transmitter (Converts Coax to UTP)
The HVB16TPTX is an active video transmitter that provides for connection of 16 cameras
using conventional coaxial cable with BNC connectors and converts the video signal for
connection to unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The twisted pair connections are RJ45 sockets.
Each RJ45 socket provides 4 video outputs for twisted pair cabling and allows simple
connection to a punch-down block.
A switch is provided on the front panel for each video input channel for selection of short cable
distances (0-1500 feet) and long cable distances (1500-3000 feet).

HVB16M64TP/HVB16M64ATP UTP Video Input Modules
The Video Input Modules provide the source of the video for the VideoBloX Cross Point Matrix
Switch as well as direct video outputs for DVRs and similar devices. Installed in the matrix
chassis, each occupying only a single 1/2U slot, they are position independent and are
hot-swappable while the switched is powered on. Fabricated from stainless steel, the
faceplate and rear termination panels provide both a sophisticated look and improved
grounding to reduce static problems. Manufactured from the highest quality components and
using surface mount technology, the modules provide near broadcast quality video with
minimum degradation. Advanced circuitry provides protection against over-voltage and
on-board power supplies provide uniform power and evenly distributed heat dissipation.
HVB16M64TP Video Input Modules with UTP have capacity for 16 video inputs connected to
four (4) RJ45 sockets. Sixteen (16) BNC outputs allow the video signal to be looped through
for connection to other devices such as monitors, DVRs or Enterprise DVRs. Connections do
not have to be made at the loop-through connectors for proper operation of video switching.

HVB16M64ATP Video Input Modules with UTP have capacity for 16 video inputs connected to
four (4) RJ45 sockets. A ribbon connector (for all 16 outputs) is provided for looping video
inputs to another chassis for the purpose of extending the number of video outputs. The
ribbon cable does not have to be connected for proper operation of video switching.
The front panel includes power and communication diagnostic LEDs for the module and
individual Video Present blue LED’s for each channel. A switch for each channel allows for
selection of short (1,500 ft / 500 meters) or long (3,000 ft / 1,000 meters) distance applications.
A gain adjustment potentiometer provides fine adjustment of the video signal. The modules
are available as 16 inputs switched into 64 outputs.

Notes
The same connections are made at the RJ45 Inputs if UTP wiring is
coming from a punch down block instead of directly from the HVB16TPTX
Transmitter.
If the dome, such as an HD6 with UTP interface board, or the cameras are
UTP compatible, the UTP wiring can be connected directly between the
domes/cameras and the HVB16M64TP/HVB16M64ATP Video Input
Modules. Refer to your dome/camera user manual for UTP cabling
limitations/switch settings.
For detailed settings of the HVB16M64TP input module, please refer to its
installation manual.
