The brightness in the white area should be the same as the white area above and below the black box. Starting from zero feet to 600/1200 may take some time. Please continue turning the knob for best picture quality. -
Page 13: Skew Compensation
CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation 3.2.3 Skew Compensation Settings The AC1212A, AC1213A and AC1015A-R2 receivers have skew compensation modules to adjust for signal timing differences due to differing pair lengths within the CAT5 cable. Using the delay signals, skew may be compensated from 2 to 65 nanoseconds in 2 nanosecond increments on each individual color pair. -

Page 15: Troubleshooting
CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Common Problems In most cases, nearly every issue with the CAT5 Multi VGA System can be resolved by checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not perform as it’s designed. -

CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM Appendix C. Receiver Video Modes The Cat5 Multi VGA System receivers feature the ability to display five component RGBHV computer video as well as RGBS, RGsB and full component RGB video. The transmitter units need no configuration changes. The AC1005A-R3, AC1006A-R3, AC1015A-R2 feature an auto-sense mode to determine RGBHV or not is in use. -

Page 22: Appendix E. Daisy Chain Termination
CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM Appendix E. Daisy Chain Termination The Cat5 Multi VGA System receiver units with a UTP output can be daisy chained along a single cat5. This applies to the AC1006A-R3, AC1015A-R2. When daisy chaining, it is important to ensure units have proper termination at the end, but no termination in the middle units. - Page 23 APPENDIX F: RS-232 Serial Settings Appendix F. Serial Daughterboard (SDB) Settings The single-port serial transmitters and single-port and dual daisy chainable serial receivers contain an internal serial daughterboard (SDB) that can be configured for various serial modes. Quad Hub Cat5 transmitters do not utilize the SDB and are configured for Mode 1 only.

Page 25: Appendix G. Ddc Modes
Mode 3: Copy DDC information from a display into the AC1004A-R3 memory. In this mode, DDC information is first copied from a display into the AC1004A-R3 transmitter and stored in non-volatile RAM. Then the transmitter is connected to a video source and reports the copied DDC information to the video source when requested. -
Page 26: Appendix H. Fixed Sync Modes
CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM Appendix H. Setting Sync Mode The AC1004A-R3 has the capability for fixed and agile sync. The default sync mode setting is for agile sync which replicates the source sync polarity signals. However some displays require a fixed sync polarity that is not possible to change at the video source. - Page 27 APPENDIX H: Sync Modes Appendix H. Setting Sync Mode The AC1005A-R3, AC1213A, AC1006A-R3, AC1212A, AC1015A-R2 have the capability for fixed and agile sync.
