ABOUT YOUR DS801-110 2
DS801-110
Intera Video+Audio to Twisted Pair
(UTP) Transmitter
The DS801-110 provides a means of transmitting
computer video and audio signals over
Twisted Pair-type (CAT-5/6) cable when used
together with an ALTINEX UTP receiver, such as
the DS801-111 or DA1931CT.
The DS801-110 is compact and easy to use. The
DS801-110 is able to transmit computer video or
component video sources and stereo audio over
UTP cable.
The DS801-110 offers a female 15-pin HD input
with native Plug & Play compatibility. The 3.5 mm
stereo audio jack is used for audio input. The
female TP main output provides distributed drive to
the UTP cable. The Signal Detect feature shows
when a signal is present.
The latest generation of Twisted Pair devices uses
an innovative, patented technology* developed by
ALTINEX. The new signal processing technology
allows transmitting and receiving fully equalized
computer video signals, stereo, and audio signals
over long distances.

INSTALLING YOUR DS801-110 6
Step 1. Determine the best location for the
DS801-110 and TP Receiver. Where
possible, locate the DS801-110 as close
to the video source as possible and the
receiver as close to the receiving
component as feasible.
Step 2. Apply power to the 2-pin terminal block on
the rear of the DS801-110. The
Power/Signal Present LED should be on
and red.
Step 3. Connect the video source to the input of
the DS801-110using a high quality video
cable. The Power/Signal Present LED
should change from red to green
indicating a signal is present.
Step 4. Connect the audio input source to the
audio jack on the DS801-110.
Step 5. Run a UTP-type (CAT-5/CAT-5e) cable
from the 4TP OUTPUT on the rear of the
DS801-110 transmitter to the 4TP INPUT
on the TP Receiver.
NOTE: Ensure good signal transmission
by routing the cable to avoid any
sharp angles, creases, or bends.
Step 6. Connect the TP Receiver per its
installation instructions.In the case of the
DS801-111, when the TP signal from the
DS801-110 is applied, the LED will turn
from red to green.
Step 7. Connect the receiver video and audio
outputsto their respective display and
amplifying devices.
Step 8. The units are now operational.
OPERATION 7
The DS801-110 requires no adjustments for
operation. Once connected, the DS801-110 will
work trouble-free with no user intervention.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied DS801-110.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 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, see Cause 4.
Cause 4: Video equalization required.
Solution: Adjust the Video Equalizationon the
receiver starting at minimum and
slowly working your way toward
maximum.
Cause 5: The display has a problem.
Solution: Make sure the display is powered
and is turned on. If there is still no
display, call ALTINEX at
[phone].

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. 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
