Section 1 will describe how to extend VGA and Audio signals by PC cable kit and in Section 2&3, you should find the description of how to use HDTV(YCC-9007, YCC-9018) and TV(RCA-9007, RCA-9018) cable kit: Section 1: Extend VGA Video and Audio by PC Cable Kit 1. AVE-9301 Single-Port Transmitter Installation: (1) Connecting Monitor and Speaker: Take VGA-0010 cable to connect the signal from your A/V device to the “VGA+AUDIO IN” port of Transmitter box and then connect monitor and speaker to the “VGA OUT” and “AUDIO” ports. Please refer to Fig. VGA-0010. (2) Function Test: Turn on your A/V device, the POWER LED should turn on green to indicate the POWER ON status and the LEDs above RJ-45 will blink before VGA signal is turned ON and remain ON after VGA signal is turned ON. 2. Receiver AVE-9300 installation and UTP Connection: (1) Power Up: Plug power adapter to the Receiver and connect monitor and speaker to the “VGA OUT” and “AUDIO” port. The POWER LED will turn on green to indicate the POWER ON status and the LED above RJ-45 port should blink to indicate the A/V signal unconnected status. (2) Selection of UTP Cable: For best VGA resolution, please use Cat5 Enhanced cable (350MHz bandwidth) for connection, please noted that the maximum extended length of one section (one pair of Transmitter or Receiver) should not exceed 300 meters. The connector must be made by 568B/568B type. PAIR 3 PAIR 2 PAIR 1 PAIR 4 JACK POSITION (3) Connect UTP Cable: Plug two ends of UTP cable to Transmitter and Receiver’s RJ45 SYSTEM LINK ports, the Receiver’s connected monitor and speaker should work now and the LEDs above RJ-45 port should remain ON. You can adjust the “FOCUS” and “GAIN” control of Receiver to have the best VGA display. (4) Function Test: After above installation, you will be able to broadcast the A/V signal to 9 Receiver’s connected monitor and speaker. (5) Problem and Solving: If you find unstable image or audio problems after installation, please confirm following list or contact your direct vendor for further assistance: A. Check if PC’s VGA resolution and frequency over the limit of monitor display, if so, please change the VGA configuration from Windows Control panel. B. Try to connect Monitor and speaker directly to a PC, and ensure the basic function of these devices. C. When using LCD or same type monitor, there might have some image offset or blinking, please adjust the position, clock or phase of the LCD monitor, or simply press “Auto Adjust / Tune” to have a better image solution. 3. Multi-Port Model: Installation and Operation (1) Site Selection: In your first time installation, place Transmitter near the PC or A/V devices; you can use rack-mount kit to fix the system box. Rack-mount Kit for Multi-Port Unit (2) Connecting Monitor and Speaker: Plug power adapter to the Transmitter and connect monitor and speaker to “VGA/AUDIO OUT” port. The POWER LED will turn on green to indicate the POWER ON status. Then, prepare VGA and audio cables to connect the signal from your A/V device to the “VGA/AUDIO IN” port of Transmitter box. (3) Local Function Test: Power on your A/V device, and you should ready to do A/V broadcasting. (4) Receiver Installation: Please follow previous section 2 for AVE-9300 to install the Receiver, and the maximum extended length of this section should not exceed 300 meters. (5) Repeater Installation: If you wish to have more A/V displays, you can use Repeater, you may use 4-Port Repeater model to expand one A/V signal to 4 A/V signals. In the other way, you may stack more Transmitter through their local A/V port to generate more A/V RJ-45 outputs locally and the maximum local stacking capacity is limited to 4 layers to ensure good broadcasting quality. 10 Expansion Diagram of Transmitter and Repeater (6) System Expansion through UTP: This series can stack into maximum three layers of UTP section to reach more A/V outputs and depends on the display devices; you may reach a lower VGA solution than single layer. The suggested range of VGA broadcasting is 800x600@900m, 1280x1024@600m, and 2048x1536@300m. Please be noted that you must use Repeater for intermediate expansion. Stack Three Layers of A/V Extender through Cat5e to reach more Displays 4. Other Integration and Application: Please contact your local dealer or distributor for further information. 11 Section 2: Extend Component Video and Audio by HDTV Cable Kit For connecting player in the Transmitter, please use YCC-9007 cable; for connecting monitor in the Transmitter, Repeater, and Receiver, please use YCC-9018 cable. Please refer to Fig.YCC-9007 and Fig YCC-9018. Section 3: Extend Composite, S-Video and Audio by TV Cable Kit For connecting player in the Transmitter, please use RCA-9007 cable; for connecting monitor in the Transmitter, Repeater, and Receiver, please use RCA-9018 cable.
