CAT5 AVDS Transmitter
Quick Installation Guide
AVDS TRANSMITTER
1
1. Introduction
The AVDS Transmitter system from Minicom, broadcasts real-time high-resolution
video and mono audio signals to hundreds of remote display monitors and speakers.
The AVDS Transmitter system consists of the following components:
• Transmitter Unit P/N 1VS22031 + Control Unit
• Line Splitters P/N 1VS22019 to expand the system
• Remote units P/N 1VS23011
• Power Remote units P/N 1VS22036 – for enhanced audio signals
Warning! Do NOT connect units with the above part numbers to units of
earlier AVDS Transmitter systems that have different part numbers. Part
numbers are located on the back of each unit.
2. The 2 types of Remote units
Note! Any reference to Remote units refers to both Remote and Power Remote units
unless stated otherwise
Both types of Remote units can be up to 110m/360ft away from the Transmitter.
The difference between the 2 Remote unit types is as follows:
The Remote units:
• Do not need a separate power supply they receive power from the connected
CAT5 FTP cable
• Must be connected with Shielded CAT5 FTP cables
The Power Remote units:
• Need a separate power supply (provided)
• Can be connected with CAT5 UTP or Shielded CAT5 FTP cables
• Produce better quality audio signals

3. The multi-functional AVDS Transmitter system
You can use the AVDS Transmitter system in the following ways:
(A) Without the Control Unit
The AVDS Transmitter system constantly broadcasts a computer screen with
audio to all remote monitors/speakers.
(B) With the Control Unit
• Broadcast a computer screen with audio to all remote monitors/speakers
• Darken all remote screens (audio broadcast is unaffected)
• Release the remote screens to allow local monitor viewing (when remote
computers are connected).
The screen dark function is useful when carrying out maintenance, changing
the broadcast program or in a classroom environment to grab students’
attention.
(C) RS232 Serial control
Connect the RS232 cable (illustrated below) and control the system via RS232
Serial control.
Screen resolutions
All the above applications broadcast video up to resolutions of 1600 x 1200 @
75Hz depending on the cable length.

5. Pre-installation instructions
Note! In the AVDS Transmitter system the CAT5 cables carry electrical power.
Therefore do NOT connect them to any other device. To avoid this we recommend
you attach the stickers provided to the ends of each CAT5 cable.
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are
likely to generate electrical noise.
