    Introducing SmartCast AV Distributor What‘s in the box? Thank you for buying the Smart-e SmartCast Cat5 AV Transmitter. Depending on the configuration of your system various quantities of the parts below may be included in your shipment, also functionality will vary depending on the receivers that you ordered.

  • Page 5: What Is Smartcast

    SXGA (1280x1024) How does SmartCast work? The Smart-e SmartCast is designed to transmit desktop computer video and stereo audio signals over (UTP) unshielded twisted pair category 5 (Cat 5) cabling. They are supplied with a UK power supply and consists of a transmitter with one input and five outputs (Cascade able up to 20 outputs).

  • Page 6: Installation And Operation

    Installation and Operation 1. Preparing for installation Start installation process by ensuring that all video displays and audio devices are compatible with the computers being used. This is accomplished by connecting the devices directly to the computer and checking that the devices operate as desired without the SmartLynx system.

    Installation and Operation 2. Connecting Video to the transmitter Connect the video output of the source device to the input of the transmitter using a standard HD15 VGA cable, or the relevant interface cable if using another video format. If using RGBS please ensure that the transmitter is configured correctly - see page 9.
  • Page 8 3. Connecting Audio and Infra-red to the transmitter Connect the audio output of the source device to the ‘audio in’ mini jack connectors on the SCX-TX550, using a stereo minijack cable or interface cable if appropriate. If using Infra-Red connect the SM-LED or SM-EYE to the relevant...

  • Page 17 Installation and Operation—SLX-RX100 2. Setting the cable length dials The Receiver unit is preset for approximately 50m which is sufficiently accurate for most applications. However if the image does not look sharp enough then follow the instructions below Whilst looking at an image on the display, preferably a long horizontal bar, adjust the CABLE COMPENSATION dial.
  • Page 18 Installation and Operation—SLX-RX100 3. Sync Processing For VGA applications the Transmitter adds the Horizontal and Vertical Sync Pulses to the Blue and Red channels.

  • Page 42: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting No video? Are the green LEDs on both the transmitter and receiver units? If not check that the 24V power supply (PSU) is connected and the LED on the PSU is lit. Check the cable compensation dials on the underside of the unit. Over compensation of the Red and Blue channels can cause the display to misinterpret the sync pulses and not display an image.
