Making standard connections
Connections to the AdderLink AV modules do not need to follow the precis\
e 
order given in this user guide although it is recommended that you do no\
t apply 
power to the modules until all other connections have been made.
Note: Unless stated otherwise, all connection information given here app\
lies to 
all modules in the AdderLink AV family.

To connect the link cable(s)
The links between the transmitter and receiver modules are made using 
between one and four twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or h\
igher. 
Each cable carries video and audio signals to each receiver module.
When a single receiver is attached to a link cable, the maximum length o\
f that 
link cable is 300m (1000 feet).

pair cable, specified to Category 5 or higher. 
When a single receiver is attached to a link cable, the maximum length o\

Making cascade connections
The AdderLink AV series of products have been specifically designed to\
 be 
flexible in order to support both your immediate and future needs for \
media 
streaming.	In	addition	to	the	standard	connections	made	from	transmitters	to	
receivers, you can also link extra transmitters to transmitters and/or r\
eceivers to 
receivers in order to provide more display/speaker outputs. These non-st\
andard 
links are called...

Cascading transmitters
Expansion at the transmitter end 
is achieved using the video and 
audio output ports. The signals 
from these ports are connected 
to the video and audio inputs of 
the next transmitter and so on. 
AdderLink AV100 and AV104 
transmitters can be mixed in a 
cascade in any order using the 
method discussed here.  
NOTE: Ensure that there are no more than 
three cascades (transmitter or receiver cascades) 
between the...

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.

Operation
In	operation,	the	AdderLink	AV	modules	are	designed	to	be	completely	
transparent - high quality video and audio from the source PC system are\
 played 
as normal, the only difference is that they are now being seen and heard\
 up to 
300 metres away. 
Indicators
All AdderLink AV modules are 
equipped with two indicators to 
confirm operation and, if necessary, 
assist with quick troubleshooting of 
potential problems.

Skew compensation adjustments (AV101 only)
The twisted pair cabling used to 
link the AdderLink AV modules 
consists of four pairs of wires per 
cable. Three of these pairs are 
used to convey the red, green and 
blue video signals. Due to slight 
differences in twist rate between 
the wire pairs, the red, green and 
blue video signals may not arrive 
at precisely the same time. This 
effect is visible as separate colour 
shadows on high...
