SENDER PANEL DESCRIPTIONS Power LED Indicator This LED will become active once the included 5V DC power supply is properly connected between the unit and an open wall power socket. RS-232 Serial Communication Input 1-4 These inputs will support RS-232 serial communications devices. Only pins 2 (RX), 3 (TX), and ground (5) are supported.
SENDER PANEL DESCRIPTIONS Channel 3 VGA/RS-232 and DVI/DDC RJ-45 Ports These RJ-45 ports connect the CAT5•4000 sender to a CAT5•4000 receiver unit using CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cabling. When the input source is analog, the VGA/RS-232 port is used. When the input source is digital, the DVI/DDC port is used.
RECEIVER PANEL DESCRIPTIONS Brightness Trim Pot When using an analog input video source, use this Trim Pot to brighten/darken the output video. Please see page 11 for detailed instructions on the usage. Focus Trim Pot When using an analog input video source, use this Trim Pot to blur/sharpen the output video.
CONNECTING THE CAT5•4000 EXTENDER ANALOG (VGA) How to Connect the CAT5•4000 Extender Using an Analog (VGA) Source Connect up to three analog (VGA) sources to the DVI-I inputs on the CAT5•4000 sender unit. VGA to DVI-A cables/adapters will be necessary to make these connections.
CONNECTING/ADJUSTING THE CAT5•4000 ANALOG (VGA) How to Connect the CAT5•4000 Extender Using an Analog (VGA) Source (Continued from the previous page) For receivers connected to channel 1, connect a amplifi ed stereo output device to the RCA analog stereo audio outputs on the receiver unit. Channels 2 and 3 do not support audio extension.
CONNECTING THE CAT5•4000 EXTENDER DIGITAL (DVI) How to Connect the CAT5•4000 Extender Using an Digital (DVI) Source Connect up to three digital (DVI) sources to the DVI-I inputs on the CAT5•4000 sender unit. DVI-D cables should be used to ensure that digital video is being transmitted.
CONNECTING/ADJUSTING THE CAT5•4000 DIGITAL (DVI) How to Connect the CAT5•4000 Extender Using an Analog (VGA) Source (Continued from the previous page) For receivers connected to channel 1, connect a amplifi ed stereo output device to the RCA analog stereo audio outputs on the receiver unit. Channels 2 and 3 do not support audio extension.
RS-232 SERIAL COMMUNICATION CONFIGURATION RS-232 Serial Control The RS-232 transmission from the CAT5•4000 receiver units must be confi gured for use on either channel 1 or on channels 2 and 3. By default, the CAT5•4000 units are confi gured to work on channels 2 and 3. To enable the RS-232 transmission for channel 1, a DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch must be enabled.
