Getting Started The Cat5 DVI-D Extender system consists of a Transmitter and one or more Transceivers. The system can extend DVI-D signals over Cat5/5e/6 cable. By cascading Transceivers it is possible to extend the DVI-D signal to any length. By taking advantage of low-cost Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, the Cat5 DVI-D Extender can simplify installation and save cost. With its unlimited cascading capacity you can extend your digital video displays almost anywhere. To simplify installation the Tr

Cable and Accessories DVI-HDMI Cable for Player Installation and Operation DVI-C5-S Transmitter Installation a. First Time Setup: Turn off the DVI output device (PC or DVD Player) and monitors. b. Device Connection: Connect local DVI monitor (M1) to the “DVI/MI OUT” of the Transmitter. Use the DVI-HDMI cable, plug the HDMI end to “INPUT” port of the Transmitter and the DVI-D end to PC or DVD Player’s DVD-D video port. Connect the power adapter to the “5VDC” and plug into t

e. EQ Adjustment: You can adjust the EQ control to Auto mode by rotating the EQ control Anticlockwise. The “EQ” and “AUTO” LEDSs will display blue. After connecting the extender system, if you see dynamic dots on unclear image on the DVI, you need to adjust the signal from Transmitter. f. EDID Simulation: The Transmitter has built-in EDID simulator. When local DVI monitor is connected to Transmitter, it will automatically record the EDID data from DVI Monitor. When a local DVI moni

Selection of Cable a. Selection: Most makes and versions of Cat 5/5e/6 cables will work with DVI-C5-S Transmitter and DVI-C5-R Transceivers. However, since the quality and characteristics of Cat 5/5e/6 cables varies it has been found that some perform better than others. The major factor influencing the transmitting distance is the skew property of the cables. Skew represents the difference in propagation delay between the fastest and slowest set of wire pairs. A lower skew will mean

d. Connect the Cable: Plug one ends of UTP cable to DVI-C5-S Transmitter’s “LINK IN/OUT” port and the other end to the DVI-C5-R Transceiver’s “LINK IN/OUT” port. The monitor connected to the Transceiver should now display and the “LINK” LED should turn green to indicate the DVI signal activation. Use EQ control to adjust the video quality for best signal.
