5. If necessary, adjust one or two (never all three) of the skew compensation switches
to add a 10ns delay for that color. This may be necessary for Cat6 cables or cat5/5e
cables in the 400 to 500 ft range.
If there are any problems at either end, see

3.3.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE SINGLE-PORT VGA/AUDIO/SERIAL
The single-port units support video, serial and audio signals over CAT5 cable.
The audio signal is line-level audio, and powered speakers are required. Note that
there’s a single connection for audio input. If you use a local station, you’ll need an
audio splitter for that jack. (For more information, call Technical Support).
The serial signal is 3 wire RS232 (Tx, Rx, Gnd).
You can also use the transmitters and receivers to make video-only connections without
audio or serial.
Figure 3-1 shows the Single-Port CAT5 Multi Video System Transmitter connections,
and Figure 3-2 shows the receiver connections.
The Multi Video receiver unit AC1065A is used for component video. A video adapter
cable is required to connect RCA video inputs into the HD15 connector.

3.3.3 CONNECTIONS ON THE DUAL DAISYCHAINABLE VGA/AUDIO/SERIAL
RECEIVER
The dual daisychainable receiver is used when the same signal is distributed to
multiple display devices on a single CAT5 cable in a daisychain or loop-through
fashion.
Setup and cabling are the same as the single-port receiver, but the dual
daisychainable model has an additional RJ-45 connector for linking to another
dual daisychainable receiver or single-port receiver.
Figure 3-7 shows how connections are made on the dual daisychainable receiver. Note
that serial is one way simplex.
The Multi Video receiver unit AC1066A is used for component video. A video adapter
cable is required to connect RCA video inputs into the HD15 connector.
