Cascading transmitters

Expansion at the transmitter end

is achieved using the video and PC audio output ports. The signals

from these ports are connected to the video and audio inputs of the next transmitter and so on. AdderLink AV100 and AV104 transmitters can be mixed in a cascade in any order using the method discussed here.

The RS232 serial port of an AdderLink AV200 transmitter cannot be cascaded, therefore, if an AV200 transmitter is involved in a cascade, it should be placed as the primary transmitter, connected directly to the source PC system.

NOTE: Ensure that there are no more than three cascades (transmitter or receiver cascades) between the primary transmitter and the furthest receiver in any branch.

To connect cascaded transmitters

1Attach a video cable of suitable type and length (fully shielded with

15 way male D-type connectors at both ends, 2m or less - Adder part number: VSC18) to the socket labelled OUT on the primary AdderLink AV transmitter.

2Attach the other end of the video cable to the socket labelled IN on the secondary AdderLink AV transmitter.

3Attach a stereo audio cable (shielded with three

way 3.5mm jack plugs at both ends - Adder part number: VSC22) to the socket labelled OUT on the primary AdderLink AV transmitter.

4Attach the other end of the stereo audio cable to the socket labelled IN on the secondary AdderLink AV transmitter.

5 Repeat such cascade links until the

required number of transmitters (up to a

maximum of four) are present. Connect
