The AdderLink AV Series is a range of audiovisual extenders delivering high
video resolutions and superb quality audio up to 300m/1000 feet using
standard CATx cable (x=5,5e,6,7).
Designed for use in Digital Signage applications, the innovative design
allows for flexible distribution that can grow in line with project
developments and ensures direct delivery of crystal clear communication to
consumers at the point of decision. The AdderLink AV Series avoids the
prohibitive costs of fibre optic cabling, displays with built in CPUs or
locating a CPU next to each screen.
The AdderLink AV Series consists of 4 interchangeable units
Duplicates input from transmitter allowing for 2 video and 2 audio outputs
Integrated skew adjustment allowing the receiver to be located further from
the transmitter and/or cope with higher video resolutions
Can be used as a receiver up to 300m from AdderLink AV 100T or AdderLink AV
104T transmitters
Has local cascade port allowing for other receivers to be cascaded from the
original receiver

SPECIFICATION:
Video Resolutions
1600 x 1280 at distances up to 200 meters/650 feet, 1280 x 1024 at
distances up to 300 meters/1000 feet.
Extension distance
Up to 300 meters/1000 feet using CATx (x=5,5e,6,7).
Extension technology
Differential analogue signalling for video signals.
Cable Equalisation
Finely adjustable cable equalisation amplifiers enable the video sharpness
and brightness to be independently adjusted using the dials on the side of
the receiver units.
Integral DeSkew (AdderLink AV101R only)
Skew compensation adjustments can be made using the two rotary dials on the
AdderLink AV101R receiver unit. The first dial affects the relationship
between green and blue colour signals, the second red and green. The cable
skew is produced due to wire length differences between different twisted
pairs in a CATx cable that arise due to the different twist rates used to
reduce signalling cross talk. The amount of cable skew seen depends on the
cable type used and the cable length. The AdderLink AV101R provides up to
62ns of DeSkew with a fine 2ns resolution. This means that high-resolution
video can be accurately DeSkewed even at long cable distances. The DeSkew
supports 300MHz bandwidths, which means that the DeSkew function does not
adversely affect the video quality.
Indicators
The remote and local units are fitted with two indicators; red shows the
presence of power into the module, green indicates the presence of a video
input.
Audio
Transmitted as digital signals to ensure high fidelity and low noise
levels. Phase locked sampling clocks ensure that there are no unwanted clicks
when no sound is being played.
Rack mount options
Both the local (computer-end) and remote (display-end) units may be rack
mounted in the AdderLink AV Series rack mount chassis. The chassis enable 16
units to be mounted in 3U of 19-inch rack space. The units are rack mounted
using the optional rack mount faceplate.
Connectors (AdderLink AV101R)
2 x blue 15-pin high-density D-type female connector for video output and 2
x light green 3.5mm audio jack for audio output. 1 x RJ45 connector for CATx
cable connection from local unit and 1 X RJ45 connector for CATx cable
connection to cascade to additional AdderLink AV 101R receiver units. 2.5mm
DC jack for power adapter.
Physical (All AdderLink AV units)
Metal case (steel and stainless steel), 98mm x 95mm x 25mm.
Power
All AdderLink AV units are powered by an external 5V DC, 2A power supply
with IEC power cable connection. A country specific power cord is provided.
Alternatively 4 units can be powered using a 4amp power supply and the Adder
“Squid” cable.
Spike suppression
All AdderLink AV units are fitted with spike suppression circuits.
Display Data Channel
DDC signalling is supported to enable the computer to communicate with the
local monitor and thus configure its video card for optimal operation.
Package contents
All AdderLink AV Series come with the necessary IEC style power supply and
power cord, safety and installation leaflet, CD manual, stick on rubber feet.
(Note: the rack panels are not included and need to be purchased separately
as required).
Optional accessories
ALAV - Series rack mount chassis (part code: ALAV-RMK-CHASSIS), rack mount
plate for local/remote unit (part codes: ALAV-RMK-FACIA). Adder 4amp power
supply and “squid” cable to power 4 ALAV units (part code
ALAV-PDM-KIT).
