Hardware Installation
1. Connect your VGA source to the transmitting unit.
2. Connect your display to the receiving unit.
3. Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving units.
4. Make sure your CAT-5/5e/6 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 blurred video is seen or even worse, not displayed at all, try to adjust the EQ and Gain
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 EQ to
get the input video displayed first, and then the GAIN according to the video you see on
the screen.
Notice
1. All transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A 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 VGA display.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of video sources,
and the type of display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable 300m or
1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord
form). 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 cables are your only choice.
3. 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.
4. 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.
