Installation
Connecting the DVI over 1 CAT6 /w Galvanic Isolator
1. Connect the included DVI cable from the imaging source (e.g. camera) to the DVI In
port on the Sender unit.
2. Connect a single CAT-6a cable from the Link jack on the Sender unit to the Link jack
on the Receiver unit.
3. Connect a DVI cable from the DVI Out port, on the Receiver unit, to a video scaler or
high-resolution imaging display.
4. Connect a ground wire from the grounding terminals, on both the Sender and
Receiver unit, to an approved Earth ground. The ground wire should not be less
than 16 AWG.
5. Use the included locking power supplies to connect the Sender and Receiver unit to

On the bottom panel of the Sender Unit is a bank of 4 DIP switches. Remove the piece of
colored tape to reveal the DIP switch bank. These DIP switches provide control over EDID
management and color depth. DIP switches 3 and 4 are not used.
EDID Management
The DVI over 1 CAT6 w/ Galvanic Isolator can be switched between two EDID modes:
Internal or Pass-through. After changing DIP switch 1, the Sender unit must be
power-cycled for changes to take effect.
DIP Switch 1 Description
OFF
(default)
Internal EDID mode. In this mode, a
generic EDID will be sent to the source
device. This setting is useful when
sufcient EDID data is unavailable from the
display device or EDID-related problems
are encountered.
ON Pass-through mode. DDC and HPD are
passed through. Both the connection status
and the full video capabilities of the monitor
are passed to the source device.
