Installation
This product is composed of two separate units: the Transmitter Unit and the Receiver
Unit. The Transmitter Unit takes the output from a VGA and/or RS-232 Serial data
source and transmits it to the Receiver unit over Category 5 Ethernet cable. The signal
source (VGA and/or Serial) is connected to a Transmitter unit, which transmits the
signal to the Receiver unit, up to 300m away. The remote display connects to the
Receiver unit using a standard VGA connection and displays the image from the local
computer on the remote display.
NOTE: The total length of cable between the Transmitter and Receiver units cannot
exceed 1000 feet (300 meters), including patch cables (if used).
NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Transmitter and Receiver units may adversely
affect image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you need to run your
remote displays at high resolutions and frequencies, use as little Ethernet cabling
between locations as possible and avoid practices such as “coiling” unused cable in a
ceiling or behind the display.
