•We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the Multi DVI System components before applying power. Please note recommended power sequence below.

3.2 Making the Connections

3.2.1 Connections and Setup in General

This section contains figures showing connections with the specific Multi DVI System models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both transmitter and receiver ends is as follows:

At the transmitter end:

1.Connect the source video to the Multi DVI System transmitter video input port, which is a DVI connector labeled DVI IN.

2.If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to DVI OUT.

3.Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter.

4.Do not apply power to the transmitter at this time.

At the receiver end:

1.Connect the DVI OUT connector to the display unit,.

2.Make sure that the Cat5 cable connection from the transmitter or receiver are secure.

3.Apply power to the display, then to the receiver.

4.Next, the transmitter should be powered on and finally the video source signal. Reference Appendix B for Link status and LED indicator explanations.

If there are any problems at either end, see Chapter 4.
