ABOUT YOUR DS801-111 2
DS801-111
INTERA TWISTED PAIR (UTP) TO
VIDEO + AUDIO RECEIVER
The DS801-111 provides a means of receiving
computer video and audio signals over Twisted
Pair (CAT-5/6) type cable when used together with
a compatible ALTINEX Twisted Pair (UTP) video
transmitter, such as the DS801-110.
The DS801-111 is compact and easy to use. The
DS801-111 is able to receive either computer video
or component video along with stereo audio
transmitted over the UTP cable from the
DS801-110 or an equivalent transmitter.
The DS801-111 provides both audio and video
outputs. The DS801-111 offers a female 15-pin HD
output for RGBHV/YPbPr signals with the native
Plug & Play compatibility and a 3.5mm jack is used
for the stereo audio output.
The unit also offers video equalization hardware for
transmission lengths up to 300 feet. There is also
a signal detect feature which shows when an input
signal is present.

INSTALLING YOUR DS801-111 6
Step 1. Determine the best location for the
DS801-111. Where possible, locate the
TP Transmitter as close to the video
source as possible and the DS801-111 as
close to the receiving component as
feasible.
Step 2. Apply power to the two pin terminal block
on the rear of the DS801-111.
NOTE: The power supply should be
9VDC and capable of supplying
500 mA.
Step 3. The Power LED should be on and red.
Step 4. Connect the receiving display to the
output of the DS801-111using a high
quality video cable.
Step 5. Connect the audio amplifier or speakers
to the audio jack on the DS801-111.
Step 6. Run a UTP (CAT-5/CAT-5e) type cable
from the 4TP INPUT on the DS801-111
Receiver to the 4TP OUTPUT on the TP
Transmitter.
NOTE: Ensure good signal transmission
by routing the cable so as to
avoid any sharp angles, creases
or bends.
Step 7. Connect the TP Transmitter per its
installation instructions.In the case of the
DS801-111, when the TP signal from the
DS801-110is applied, the power LED will
turn from red to green indicating a signal
is present.
Step 8. The units are now operational.
OPERATION 7
The DS801-111 requires only one adjustment to be
made for optimal performance.The adjustment is
video equalization for long cable lengths.
7.1 VIDEO EQUALIZATION
Video equalization is provided to fine tune the
displayed image on the remote display.
Typically, for short cable runs the equalization
will be set to near minimum. Cable lengths up to
300 feet will require near maximum equalization.
For example, for cable runs less than 50 feet,
the equalization setting may be set to near
minimum. Cable runs of 300 feet will see
equalization settings at about the three-quarter
to maximum position.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied DS801-111.However, we
would like to offer suggestions for the following:
8.1 NO DISPLAY
Cause 1: The source has a problem.
Solution: Check the source and make sure
there is a signal present and all
source connections are correct. If
the source is working and there is
still no display, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: The path has a problem.
Solution: Connect the transmitter directly to
the receiver using a short UTP
patch cable. If the image is good,
there is a problem with the cable.
Otherwise, see Cause 3.
Cause 3: Cable connections are incorrect.
Solution: Make sure that cables are properly
connected. Also, make sure that the
continuity and wiring are good. If
there is still no display present, see
Cause 4.

SPECIAL APPLICATION
400-0442-0028
Cause 4: Video equalization required.
Solution: Adjust the VIDEO EQUALIZATION
on the DS801-111.
In general, cable runs less then 50
feet require little or no video
equalization and should be set to
minimum. Cable runs up to 300 feet
will require near maximum
equalization.
Cause 5: The display has a problem.
Solution: Make sure the display has power
and is turned ON. If there is still no
display, please call ALTINEX at
[phone].
8.2 NO SOUND
Cause 1: The source has a problem.
Solution: Check the source and make sure
that there is a signal present and all
source connections are correct. If
the source is working and there is
still no sound, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: The volume is too low.
Solution: Increase the gain at the source
toward maximum. If there is still no
sound present, see Cause 3.
Cause 3: Cable connections are incorrect.
Solution: Make sure that cables are properly
connected. Also, make sure that the
continuity and wiring are good. If
there is still no sound, see Cause 4.
Cause 4: The receiving device has a
problem.
Solution: Make sure the receiving device has
power and is turned on. If there is
still no sound, please call ALTINEX
at [phone].
