2. INTRODUCTION
With only one cost effective CAT-5e cable, the Avenview VGA-C5A-R lets you extend VGA (WUXGA) to
cover the distance up to 300m (1,000ft). 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. Analog stereo audio signals can be sent along with high quality VGA signal over long
distance LAN cable. Compatible with the VGA-C5-SP8
- Supports up to WUXGA (1920x1200@60) to 300m (1,000ft)
- Supports Analog Stereo Audio and S/PDIF Digital Audio
- Adjustable equalization and gain control on Receiver unit
- De-skew compensation available for RGB delay control
- Wall mounting case for better fixedness

2.2 BEFORE INSTALLATION
Put the product in an even and stable location. If the product falls down or drops, it may cause an
injury or malfunction.
Don’t place the product in too high temperature (over 50°C), too low temperature (under 0°C)
or high humidity.
Use the DC power adapter with correct specifications. If inappropriate power supply is used then
it may cause a fire.
Do not twist or pull by force ends of the optical cable. It can cause malfunction.

4. INSTALLATION
1. Connect VGA and audio source to Transmitter (VGA-C5-SP8)
2. Connect VGA display and speakers to Receiver (VGA-C5A-R)
3. Connect CAT5/CAT6 cable between Transmitter (VGA-C5-SP8) and Receiver (VGA-C5A-R)
4. Ensure that cables are tightly connected
5. Plug in 5V 2ADC power adapter to the power jack of the Receiver VGA-C5A-R.
6. Plug in 5V 4ADC power adapter to the power jack of the Transmitter VGA-C5-SP8.
5. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
NO IMAGE
Check if connection to the source and the display are
correct.
Ensure that display device supports the resolution that is
being output.
SCREEN DEFECTS APPEAR
This product supports up to WUXGA (1920x1200)
resolution.
Check the VGA and CAT5 connection
If outputting from a PC. Check the maximum resolution
range of the graphics card.
1. 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.
2. 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.
