3. The ExpandView™ CAT5
The figures below illustrate the Broadcaster module, Line Splitter, Remote
module and Dual Remote module.
2. The multi-functional ExpandView™ CAT5
You can use the ExpandView™ CAT5 in the following ways:
(A) Without the Control Unit
The ExpandView™ CAT5 constantly broadcasts a computer screen to all
remote monitors.
(B) With the Control Unit
• Broadcast a computer screen to all remote monitors
• Darken all remote screens
• Release the remote screens to allow local monitor viewing (when remote
computers are connected).
The screen dark function is useful when carrying out maintenance, changing
the broadcast program or in a classroom environment to grab students’
attention.
With both applications broadcast the video up to resolutions
of 1600 x 1200 @ 75Hz depending on the cable length.

OVERVIEW INSTALLATION
4. Expanding the ExpandView™ CAT5
You can expand the ExpandView™ CAT5 to 512 Remote modules by having
2 levels of Line Splitters. Level 1 Line Splitters can have 8 Remote modules or
Line Splitters connected. Level 2 Line Splitters can have 8 Remote modules
connected. (See page 7).
5. Pre-installation instructions
Note! In the ExpandView™ CAT5 the CAT5 UTP or FTP cables carry electrical
power. Therefore do NOT connect them to any other device. To avoid this we
recommend you attach the stickers provided to the ends of each cable.
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners and machines
that are likely to generate electrical noise.

The Remote Video cable
The Remote Video cable is only used with the Remote module when the
Dongle is connected to a computer.
Connecting the CAT5 cables
Please note! Connect the CAT5 cables to the Broadcaster and Line Splitter
modules when the modules are powered off. We recommend that you
connect the CAT5 cables BEFORE connecting the power supply.
Power supply
Connect the Broadcaster and Line Splitters to the power supply with the
12 VDC, 2A from the AC/DC adapter provided. The Remote modules and
the Dual Remote module receive 12 VDC, 160 mA via the CAT5 cables
from the Broadcaster or Line Splitter.
7. The ExpandView™ CAT5 configuration for a CBT application
The figure below illustrates the ExpandView™ CAT5 configuration with the
ExpandView™ CAT5 Control Unit and the optional remote computers.
The Dual Remote module has no VGA input and is therefore not suitable
for CBT applications.
