Cascading receivers (AdderLink AV101 only)
Expansion at the receiver end is made possible using
the
LINK OUT
ports present on AdderLink AV101
receivers. Receiver cascade links are made using
twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher.
NOTE: Ensure that there are no more than three
cascades (transmitter or receiver cascades)
between the primary transmitter and the
furthest receiver in any branch.

Video image adjustments
As link cable lengths increase
and more receivers are
cascaded, colour separation
effects may become noticeable
within displayed video images,
particularly at higher resolutions.
These effects are called ‘skew’
and result from differing delays
on the red, green and blue
colour signals as they travel to
the receivers. Each AdderLink
AV101 receiver provides two
extra adjustment dials to
counter skew effects. For further
information, please refer to the
section
.

To connect cascaded receivers
NOTE: Please observe the recommended overall link cable lengths
(including receiver cascade connections) in order to avoid signal
degradation.
1 Attach the connector of the cascade link cable to the socket
labelled
LINK OUT
on the primary AdderLink AV101 receiver.
2 At the other end of the cascade link cable, attach the
connector to the socket labelled
LINK IN
on the secondary
AdderLink AV101 receiver.
In all cases, there should be a click when the cable is fully
inserted and locked in place.
3 If necessary, repeat the above procedure for a tertiary
AdderLink AV101 receiver.
4 Connect the remaining signal and power cables to the added
receivers, as discussed earlier within this chapter.
