Cascading receivers (Wizard AVU5111A only)
Expansion at the receiver end is made possible using
the
LINK OUT
ports present on Wizard AVU5111A
receivers. Receiver cascade links are made using
twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher.
NOTE: Ensure that there are no more than three
cascades (transmitter or receiver cascades)
between the primary transmitter and the
furthest receiver in any branch.
Video image adjustments
As link cable lengths increase
and more receivers are
cascaded, color separation
effects may become noticeable
within displayed video images,
particularly at higher resolutions.
These effects are called ‘skew’
and result from differing
delays on the red, green and
blue color signals as they travel
to the receivers. Each Wizard
AVU5111A receiver provides
two extra adjustment dials to
counter skew effects. For further
information, please refer to the
section
To connect cascaded receivers
NOTE: Please observe the recommended overall link cable lengths
(including receiver cascade connections) in order to avoid signal
degradation.
1 Attach the connector of the cascade link cable to the socket
labelled
LINK OUT
on the primary Wizard AVU5111A receiver.
2 At the other end of the cascade link cable, attach the
connector to the socket labelled
LINK IN
on the secondary
Wizard AVU5111A receiver.
In all cases, there should be a click when the cable is fully
inserted and locked in place.
3 If necessary, repeat the above procedure for a tertiary
Wizard AVU5111A receiver.
4 Connect the remaining signal and power cables to the added
receivers, as discussed earlier within this chapter.
