Introduction The SP‐9018 1x8 VGA over CAT5 Transmitter provides the most flexible solution by which the high resolution PC video and high quality stereo audio can be transmitted to different locations over super long distances. Built with 2 VGA and digital/analog audio loop outs, local A/V receivers can provide extra video and audio fan‐outs through typical VGA, SPDIF, and analog audio cables. The high bandwidth VGA can be transmitted up to 65 meters (210 feet) on the local ports. SP‐9018 also extends VGA and stereo audio source up to 330 meters (1000 feet) through cost effective CAT‐5 LAN cables. Accompanying the receivers of CV‐97 VGA CAT5 extender series equipped with the equalization, gain control and de‐skew functions, the video and audio quality can be further assured and make the quality of overall transmission superior than the other VGA splitters on the market. ...

Hardware Installation Broadcasts PC A/V signals to 8 remote displays and two local receivers 1. Switch off all devices, including monitors. 2. Connect a VGA and audio source (such as a PC) to the VGA and audio In. 3. Connect to the receivers (such as CV‐917‐RX or CV‐917D‐RX) via RJ45 connectors by a CAT5e cable. 4. Plug in 5V 4A DC power supply. 5. Power on the receiver’s monitors and speakers. 6. Power on the PC source. ...

Notice 1. All the transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT‐5e 125MHz Solid cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG‐859C. The transmission distance is defined as the distance between the SP‐9018 and the remote VGA display. 2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of A/V sources, and the type of A/V display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in 300m/1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (patch cord). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid LAN cables are your only choice. 3. EIA/TIA‐568‐B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance. 4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission. 5. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is subject to your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT‐6 cable is recommended. ...
