INTRODUCTION
With only one cost effective CAT-5e cable, the AV-GM0213-S1 VGA & Audio over CAT5 Repeater
with RGB Delay Control lets you extend VGA (WUXGA) to cover the distance up to 330m (1,000ft).
Equipped with RJ45 input, local VGA and stereo output, and playing as a repeater, AV-GM0213-S1
can extend A/V signals from VGA and audio CAT-5 extender up to another 300m (1,000ft), and
monitor the A/V signals with local display and speaker. 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.
FEATURES
●Supports up to WUXGA [1920x1200@60] or UXGA [1600x1200@60] to 330m (1,000ft)
●Supports stereo audio
●Adjustable equalization and gain control on RX unit
●De-skew compensation available for RGB delay control
●Wall mounting case for better fixedness

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Connect your VGA and audio source to the transmitting unit such as CV-917-TX.
2. Connect your display and speakers to AV-GM0213-S1.
3. Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting unit and AV-GM0213-S1.
4. Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 cable between AV-GM0213-S1 and the receiving unit.
5. Make sure your CAT-5/5e/6 cable is tightly connected and not loose.
6. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of AV-GM0213-S1.
7. If a blurred video is seen or even worse on the local display, 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.
8. 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.

NOTICE
1. All transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT-5e 125MHz LAN cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B. The transmission distance is defined
as the distance between the video source and the VGA display.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of video sources,
and the type of display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable 300m or
1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord
form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable
shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid
cables are your only choice.
3. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can
use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
4. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance
will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is subject to
your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT-6 cable is
recommended.
