    They can be used as video splitters as well as video extenders. This manual covers CAT5 Multi VGA System Transmitters and Receivers with Audio (AC1000A–AC1003A) and CAT5 Multi VGA System Transmitters and Receivers with RS-232 (AC1004A–AC1007A). Their respective Rackmount Kits (AC1008–AC1012) are discussed in Appendix D.

    CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM 3. Setup and Installation 3.1 Data Mode Configuration For serial 1-port versions only: Configure the internal Universal Digital Board (UDB) if you want to change the transmitters/receivers from simplex operation (default) to bidirectional operation. (See Appendix C.) This configuration should be done before making any cable connections and applying power.

    ONNECTIONS ON THE INGLE UDIO The single-port units with audio (AC1000A–AC1001A) support video and audio signals over CAT5 cable. The audio signal is line-level audio, and powered speakers are required. Note that there’s a single connection for audio input. If you use a local station, you’ll need an audio splitter for that jack.

  • Page 17: A Typical Single-Port Transmitter-Receiver Application

    PPLICATION Figure 3-9 shows a typical application in which the single-unit transmitter (AC1000A or AC1004A) is connected over CAT5 to a single-unit receiver (AC1001A or AC1005A). Although the figure shows optional audio and RS-232 connections, no model supports both audio and RS-232 communications. You can use the audio or RS-232 units as video-only transmitters/receivers, too.

  • Page 19: Troubleshooting

    CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM 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.
  • Page 20 CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting Serial communication doesn’t work correctly. Problem: Solution: • Are the serial devices connected properly? Are the serial parameters correct for source/destination devices? • Are the serial cables terminated correctly? If a null-modem cable is used, it must be placed at the receiver end. •...

    APPENDIX B: Setting Sync Signal Output Termination Appendix B. Setting Sync Signal Output Termination In some cases, it may be necessary to disable the 75-ohm termination of the video outputs on the CAT5 Multi VGA System units. This can be done by opening the case of each unit and installing jumpers on the circuit board.

    APPENDIX C: UDB Settings Appendix C. UDB Settings The single-port serial transmitters and single-port and dual daisychainable serial receivers contain an internal Universal Digital Board (UDB) that can be reconfigured from its simplex operation default setting for bidirectional operation. The UDB hardware configuration is done via jumper settings. These jumpers are used to route signals to the interface port(s) for the DB9 connector and to configure the transceiver for RS-485 operation.
