1.
Connect your YPbPr/CVBS/Audio source (such as a DVD player) to the transmitting unit.
2.
Connect your display (such as a plasma TV) to the receiving unit.
3.
Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cable between the transmitting and receiving units.
4.
Make sure your CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cable is tightly connected and not loose.
5.
Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the receiving unit.
6.
Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the transmitting unit.
7.
If a flickering or a blinking image is seen or even worse, not displayed at all, try to adjust the
rotary controls to improve the cable skew. GAIN rotary controls are designed for gain control,
and EQ rotary controls are designed for equalizing the wave form of the receiving video
signal. It is suggested to begin with adjusting the rotary control of Y EQ to get the input video
displayed first, and then the Y GAIN and Y EQ according to the video you see on the screen.
1.
All transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT-5e 125MHz LAN cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C. The transmission distance is defined as the
distance between the video source and the display.
2.
The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of A/V sources,
and the type of A/V display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in 300m/1000ft
form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (patch cord). Shielded STP
cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer
transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid LAN cables
are your only choice.
3.
EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance.
4.
To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can
use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
5.
Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission
distance will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is
subject to your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT-6 cable is
recommended.
