5. Installation and Operation
AVE-300 series supports different video format by using different cable kit.
Section 1 will describe how to extend VGA and Audio signals by PC cable kit
and in Section 2 & 3, you should find the description of how to use HDTV andTV cable kit to extend Component, Composite, and S-Video Extend VGA Video and Audio by PC Cable Kit
5.1 AVE-301T Single-Port Transmitter Installation:(1) Site Selection: In your first time installation, place Transmitter near thePC or AV devices (Audio and Video outputs); you can use magnetic pad toattach the unit on metal plane (Ex. PC / Server Enclosure) or use
attachable rack mounting kit to fix the unit on selected area by screw ornail.

Unit attached with Wall Mounting Kit(2) Connecting Monitor and Speaker: Take a 3-in-1 cable (VGA + AudioUSB Power) to connect the signal from your AV device to the “GA+AUDIOIN” port of Transmitter box and then connect monitor and peaker to the“VGA OUT” and “AUDIO” ports. The Transmitter can ake the power throughthe USB port or if you are using DVD Player or other devices without USB
port, you can plug optional power adaptor DC 5V, 1A).

9 / 15VGA and Audio CAT-5 AV Extender(3) Function Test: Turn on your AV device, the POWER LED should turn ongreen to indicate the Power On status and the LEDs above RJ-45 will blink
before VGA signal is turned On and remain On after VGA signal is turned On.

5.2 Receiver AVE-301R installation and UTP Connection:(1) Site Selection: Please place Receiver in an appropriate place and have theUTP cable settled for later connection; you can use magnetic pad to attach
the unit on metal plane or use attachable rack mounting kit to fix the unit
on selected area by screw or nail.
(2) Power Up: Plug power adapter to the Receiver and connect monitor andspeaker to the “VGA OUT” and “AUDIO” port. The POWER LED will turn on
green to indicate the POWER ON status and the LED above RJ-45 port
should blink to indicate the AV signal unconnected status.
(3) Selection of UTP Cable: For best VGA resolution, please use Cat5
Enhanced cable (350MHz bandwidth) for connection, please noted that themaximum extended length of one section (one pair of Transmitter orReceiver) should not exceed 300 meters. The connector must be made by568B/568B type.

Plug two ends of UTP cable to Transmitter and Receiver’s RJ45 SYSTEM LINK
ports, the Receiver’s connected monitor and speaker should work now and theLEDs above RJ-45 port should remain ON. You can adjust the “FOCUS” and“GAIN” control of Receiver to have the best VGA display.
(5) Function Test: After above installation, you will be able to broadcast theAV signal to Receiver’s connected monitor and speaker.
(6) Problem and Solving: If you find unstable image or audio problems after
installation, please confirm following list or contact your direct vendor for
further assistance:
a. Check if PC’s VGA resolution and frequency over the limit of monitor
display, if so, please change the VGA configuration from Windows
Control panel.
b. Try to connect Monitor and speaker directly to a PC, and ensure thebasic function of these devices.
c. When using LCD or same type monitor, there might have some image
offset or blinking, please adjust the position, clock or phase of the LCD
monitor, or simply press Auto Adjust / Tune to have a better imagesolution.

5.3 AVE-300 Multi-Port Model: Installation and Operation:(1) Site Selection: In your first time installation, place Transmitter near thePC or AV devices; you can use rack mounting kit to fix the system box.
