4. Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter.

monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor’s screen.
At the receiver end:
1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT HD15 connector to the display unit, and attach
any audio (AUX I/O) and/or serial connections (IOIO) depending on the model of
MultiView™ CAT5 Video System.
2. Connect the CAT5 cable to the LINK INPUT connection. If daisy chaining units,
connect the output CAT5 cable to the LINK OUTPUT connection.
3. Apply power. The LED should light and video should appear on the display
(make sure display is powered ON).
4. To adjust video levels and skew compensation see Section 3.4.
3.3.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE SINGLE-PORT VGA/AUDIO
The single-port units with audio support video and audio signals over CAT5 cable. The
audio signal is line-level audio, and powered speakers are required. Note that there’s a
single connection for audio input. If you use a local station, you’ll need an audio splitter
for that jack. You can also use the transmitters and receivers to make video-only
connections without mono audio. Figure 3-1 shows the Single-Port MultiView™ CAT5
Video System with Audio Transmitter connections, and Figure 3-2 shows the receiver
connections.

3.3.3 CONNECTIONS ON THE SINGLE-PORT VGA/RS-232
The Single-Port MultiView™ CAT5 Video System with RS-232 supports video and full-
modem serial (RS-232) signals over CAT5 cable for the AK1000S and the AK1500S.
You can also use the transmitters and receivers to make video-only connections without
serial communications. Figure 3-3 shows the Single-Port MultiView™ CAT5 Video
System with RS-232 Transmitter connections, and Figure 3-4 shows the receiver
connections.
NOTE
Even though both transmitter and receiver units contain audio jacks,
audio is not supported on the RS-232 version. Plugging in audio cables
may interfere with the RS-232 serial communications.
