1.4 Introduction  
With only one cost effective CAT-5e cable, the Avenview VGA-C5ARS-SET lets you extend VGA (WUXGA) to  
cover the distance up to 300m (1,000ft). The system consists of Transmitter (VGA-C5ARS-S) and Receiver  
(VGA-C5ARS-R). With built-in EQ and GAIN control, the transmission path can be adjusted to adapt the cable  
quality and video bandwidth. Furthermore, the VGA RGB delay control [de-skew] function provides the  
compensation among R, G, B signals due to long transmission or through normal LAN cable. VGA-C5ARS-SET is  
also has RS232 half-duplex long range extender along with VGA and Audio signals.

1.8 Installation  
To setup Avenview VGA-C5ARS-SET follow these steps for connecting to a device:  
1. Connect VGA source to VGA-C5ARS-S  
2. Connect VGA display to VGA-C5ARS-R  
3. Connect CAT5/CAT6 cable between Transmitter (VGA-C5ARS-S) and Receiver (VGA-C5ARS-R)  
4. Ensure that cables are tightly connected  
5. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the Receiver VGA-C5ARS-R.  
6. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the Transmitter VGA-C5ARS-S.

2.  
If a blurred video is seen or even worse, not displayed at all, try to adjust the EQ and Gain  
rotary controls to improve the cable skew. GAIN rotary controls are designed for gain control,  
and EQ rotary controls are designed for equalizing the wave form of the receiving video signal.  
It is suggested to begin with adjusting the rotary control of EQ to get the input video displayed  
first, and then the GAIN according to the video you see on the screen.  
RGB delay control [De-skew] offers the flexible functionality to allow skew compensation  
among VGA R, G, B signals due to long transmission or thru low quality cable. By adjusting the  
rotary switch to choose R, G or B color channel at first, then use the push buttons to increase or  
decrease the delay in the corresponding color channel. There are totally 31 steps, each step  
with 2ns difference, for adjusting the delay between each color individually. Then the graphics  
quality can be further assured.

Notice  
1. All transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT-5e 125MHz LAN cable and  
STRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C. The transmission distance is defined as the  
distance between the video source and the VGA display.  
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of video sources, and  
the type of display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable 300m or  
1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord  
form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable  
shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid  
cables are your only choice.  
3. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can use  
shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.  
4. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance will  
be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is subject to your  
LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT-6 cable is recommended..
