Video link
Each ALIF100T unit is supplied with either a DVI-D (single link) or a DisplayPort™
video connector. Video signals at pixel clocks up to 165MHz (equivalent to a maximum
resolution of 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz) are permissible.
To make a video link
1 Connect the ALIF100T video connector to the DVI-D or DisplayPort™ socket of
the host computer:

Network link
ALIF transmitters and receivers can either be connected directly to each other or via a
high speed network.
A single Gigabit Ethernet port is located on the front panel. For direct links via Ethernet
cable, the length of cable should not exceed 100 metres (328 feet). Network cables
used for connections may be category 5, 5e, 6 or 7 twisted-pair cable. The ALIF100T
unit has an autosensing capability on its network interfaces, so for direct point-to-point
connections, no 'crossover' Ethernet cable is required.
To link the ALIF100T unit
1 Connect a CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable to the Gigabit Ethernet socket on the front panel
of the ALIF100T unit.
2 Connect the other end of the cable either directly to an ALIF receiver or to a Gigabit
Ethernet switch, as appropriate.
3 [For connections via a network] repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other ALIF unit(s).
