MEDIA SYSTEM HUB

• Distributes stereo and video signals in up to six or more rooms.

• Multiple hubs can be easily connected together giving up to 100 or more rooms of stereo/video

distribution.

• Easily installs in the Knöll Media Systems enclosure.

Warning: To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

Warning: If you are not sure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

Warning: To avoid fire, shock or death, do not connect power to this product until it is fully installed.

When in doubt turn of the power at the circuit breaker or fuse and test that the power is turned off.

Wiring: The Media System Hub is a member of

the of the UTP products group. It needs to be

connected to Knöll UTP-Receive(s) and possibly

an UTP-Send, UTP-Decora Cam or UTP-Cam.

Inside the wall each Media System Hub is

connected to up to six UTP-Receive’s using home

runs of a single Cat5 wire using all eight

conductors. Connection is made with any of the

six RJ45 connectors (RJ45 plug not supplied) on the hub. Always use the standard Cat5 wiring practices.

Using the correct wire pairs and polarity is very important.

Input connections to a single Media System Hub is made with either the RCA jacks or the single RJ45

jack on the hub. Either way the hub dip switches must be set correctly and checked.

To connect a single hub to the stereo video outputs using the RCA jacks simply connect the video output to

the hub yellow RCA jack, the stereo left to the hub white RCA jack and the stereo right to the hub red RCA

jack. If your system is mono, connect to the stereo left jack only. DO NOT connect speaker outputs to the

hub stereo jacks as product damage not covered by the warranty may occur. There are no installer

adjustments available on the hub. Set the hub dipswitches correctly using diagram A1.

To connect a single hub with an UTP-Send, UTP-Decora Cam or UTP-Cam source using the single RJ45

jack on the hub using a Cat5 wire (using all eight conductors), be sure to follow the wiring guide above.

Using the correct wire pairs and polarity is very important. Set the hub dipswitches using diagram A2.

Input connections to multiple Media System Hubs. When seven or more rooms require connection to the

media hub, two or more hubs need to be connected together. The cat5 wire home runs to the UTP-Receive

are the same as above.

To connect multiple hubs to a nearby audio video source using the RCA jack inputs, the three RCA jacks

(for video left and right) are simply Y cored together (video to video to video, left to left to left and right to

right to right) on all the hubs. Set the first hub dipswitches using diagram B1. The dip switches on the

second and all other hubs in this system are set using diagram B1.

To connect multiple hubs with the single RJ45 as the source (from a UTP-Send, UTP-Decora Cam or

UTP-Cam) connect to the single RJ45 as above and then Y cord all of the hub RCA jacks together (video to

video to video, left to left to left and right to right to right). Set the first hub dipswitches using diagram B2.

The dip switches on the second and all other hubs in this system are set using diagram B2.

Output connections to the Media System Hub. The Media System hub is connected to from one to six

UTP-Receive modules. Outputs are connected to any of the six RJ45 output jacks on the hub. Never

connect two UTP-Receive modules to a single output RJ45 jack. Always use the standard Cat5 wiring

practices. Using the correct wire pairs and polarity is very important. All eight conductors are used. If the

video signal has horizontal lines the most likely problem is that the video wires are inverted (pins four and

five on the RJ45 plug).

Power Requirements: The whole Media System requires a single power supply (even if it has cameras

and multiple hubs). The Media System Hub(s) always supplies the power for the UTP-Receive(s) and any

UTP-Send, UTP-Cam or UTP-Decora cam connected to the single RJ45 jack. Do not connect another

power supply to the UTP-Receive or UTP-Send modules as damage not covered by the warranty may

occur. The whole Media System uses very little power and is normally left on. A led lamp shows if power

is connected properly to the UTP-Receive, UTP-Decora Cam and UTP-Send modules.

A 12VDC -15VDC (500mA or more) power supply is connected to the Media System Hub(s) using the

2.1mm connector (center positive) or the screw terminal. If any of the Cat5 wire distances are longer than

300’ use a 15VDC-18VDC-power supply.
