Page 13: Receiver Adjustments
CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation 3.2 R ECEIVER DJUSTMENTS: This section details the tuning and adjustments for each receiver. The CAT5 Multi VGA system receivers have a single adjustment to compensate for different Cat5 cable lengths. This EQ process is easy and simple to do and must be done once unless the unit is moved to a different location. -

The brightness in the white area should be the same as the white area above and below the black box. The Cable Length LEDs will turn on for indicated cable distances (AC1014A-R2). Starting from zero feet to 600/1200/2000 may take some time. -
Page 15: Skew Compensation
CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation 3.2.3 Skew Compensation Settings The AC1211A, AC1013A-R2, AC1014A-R2 receivers are available with an optional skew compensation module to adjust for signal timing differences due to differing pair lengths within the CAT5 cable. Using the delay signals, skew may be compensated from 2 to 65 nanoseconds in 2 nanosecond increments on each individual color pair. -

Page 17: Troubleshooting
CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Common Problems In most cases, nearly every issue with the CAT5 Multi VGA System can be resolved by checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not perform as it’s designed. -

Page 22: Appendix C. Receiver Video Settings
CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM Appendix C. Receiver Video Modes The Cat5 Multi VGA System receivers feature the ability to display five component RGBHV computer video as well as RGBS, RGsB and full component RGB video. The transmitter units need no configuration changes. The AC1001A-R2 has an external switch (SW3) that controls whether RGBHV or non-RGBHV signals are in use. -

Page 24: Appendix E. Daisy Chain Termination
CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM Appendix E. Daisy Chain Termination The Cat5 Multi VGA System receiver units with a UTP output can be daisy chained along a single cat5. This applies to the AC1002A-R3, AC1013A-R2, and the AC1014A-R2. The AC1001A-R2 does not have this capability. When daisy chaining, it is important to ensure units have proper termination at the end, but no termination in the middle units. -
Page 25: Appendix F. Ddc Modes
Mode 3: Copy DDC information from a display into the AC1000A-R3 memory. In this mode, DDC information is first copied from a display into the AC1000A-R3 transmitter and stored in non-volatile RAM. Then the transmitter is connected to a video source and reports the copied DDC information to the video source when requested. -
Page 26: Appendix G. Sync Modes
CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM Appendix G. Setting Sync Mode The AC1000A-R3 has the capability for fixed and agile sync. The default sync mode setting is for agile sync which replicates the source sync polarity signals. However some displays require a fixed sync polarity that is not possible to change at the video source. - Page 27 APPENDIX G: Sync Modes Appendix G. Setting Sync Mode The AC1002A-R3, AC1211A, AC1013A-R2, AC1014A-R2 have the capability for fixed and agile sync.
