    Introducing SmartLynx Cat5 AV Extender What‘s in the box? Thank you for buying the Smart-e SmartLynx Rack Mountable Cat5 AV Extender. Depending on the configuration of your system various quantities of the parts below may be included in your shipment.

  • Page 5: What Is Smartlynx

    SDTV, SVGA (800x600) How does SmartLynx work? The Smart-e SmartLynx systems are transmitter and receiver pairs designed to extend video, stereo audio and IR/RS232 signals over (UTP) unshielded twisted pair category 5 (Cat5) cabling. They are supplied with a UK power supply and consist of: a transmitter with a video input (connectors vary by model), an audio input and a Cat5 output and;...

  • 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.
  • Page 7 Installation and Operation 2. Connect Transmitter to the signal sources Connect the video output of the source device to the input of the transmitter using the relevant interface cable if relevant. Connect the audio output of the source device to the audio input of the transmitter using the appropriate cable.
  • Page 8 Installation and Operation 3. Setting Jumpers on Transmitter to correct position The diagram below details how to correctly set the jumpers for the required video type (VGA or RGBS), for VGA the jumper should be in the top position for RGBS it should be at the bottom.
  • Page 9 Installation and Operation 4. Connecting the IR Blaster unit (optional) Using the IR Blaster control cable, attach one end into the IR control port on the rear of the SLX-TX16 and the other end to the rear of the 1U Blaster unit. Then plug the IR emitter LED into the relevant 3.5mm jack socket on the front of the Blaster unit and position the LED at the device to be controlled.
  • Page 10 Installation and Operation 5. System Power up Turn the system on by plugging in the power adapter to the SmartLynx if they are not yet connected (See diagram opposite). Power up your computer. Observe both transmitter and receiver power LED are ON, and source device is switched on.

  • Page 14 Installation and Operation—SLX-RX100 1. Connecting SLX-RX100 to the display device Making sure that the Cat 5 cable is connected to the SLX-TX16 output, connect the cable to the RJ45 socket on the receiver unit. If the cable connection is correct the power LED on the front of the receiver should illuminate (power is sent up the Cat 5 cable).
  • Page 15 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 16 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. However, since the unit has been designed for use with other types of video the Receiver provides the ability to pass both the Red and Blue channels transparently or process them to remove the Sync Pulses.

    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.
