Introduction

The StarTech.com Converge A/V VGA over Cat5 Video Extender

system is comprised of a transmitter unit (ST1214T) and a receiver

unit (ST121R) and optionally a repeater unit (ST121EXT). This video

extender system allows you to split and extend a single VGA source

signal to up to four separate remote locations. The VGA signal is

extended using standard Cat5 UTP cable, with a maximum distance of

up to 150m (492ft) or 300m (984ft) with a repeater.

NOTE: To prevent potential electrical damage to the units in some

environments, ensure that the chassis is properly grounded.

Hardware Installation

The following instructions detail how ST1214T, ST121R and

ST121EXT can be used to extend a VGA signal to remote displays,

using a variety of different conﬁgurations.

ST1214T (local) and ST121R (remote)

Using the ST1214T, you can split the VGA signal from the source1.

into 4 separate VGA signals, for reception at remote locations (up to

150m (492ft) away).

Situate the ST1214T so that it is near your VGA video source as well2.

Connect the ST1214T to the power source, using the power adapter3.

Connect the VGA video source to the VGA IN port on the ST1214T,4.

using a male-female VGA cable.

Situate the ST121R so that it is near the intended remote display(s)5.

and an available power source.

Connect the ST1214R to the power source using the power adapter6.

provided.

Using the Monitor Out ports, connect the ST121R to the display(s).7.

Please note that each remote unit can be connected to two separate

displays simultaneously. To connect two monitors, simply connect a

VGA cable from the second Monitor Out port to a second display.

Once the Transmitter and Receiver unit(s) have been positioned,8.

connect the Cat5 OUT ports provided by the transmitter unit

(ST1214T) to each receiver unit, using standard UTP cable, with

RJ45 connectors on each end.

The following diagram illustrates the connection between transmitter

(ST1214T) and receiver (ST121R) units.

ST1214T (local), ST121EXT (extender) and ST121R (Remote)

Using the ST1214T, you can split the VGA signal from the source into

4 separate VGA signals, for reception at remote locations. While the

maximum transmission distance of the ST1214T is 150m (492ft), using

ST121EXT as a signal repeater adds another 150m (492ft) to the total

transmission distance, for a total extension of 300m (984ft).

connect the Cat5 OUT port provided by the repeater (ST121EXT)

to the Cat5 IN port provided by ST121EXT.

Note: Each receiver unit can be connected to two separate displays

simultaneously. To connect two monitors, simply connect a VGA cable

from the second Monitor Out port to a second display.

The following diagram illustrates the connection between transmitter

(ST1214T) and receiver (ST121R) units, with the addition of a repeater

unit (ST121EXT). Please note that although only one repeater is used

in this illustration, up to four can be used simultaneously.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for this video extender as it is an

external hardware only solution, invisible to the computer system.

Operation

ST1214T, ST121EXT and ST121R all provide LED indicators, allowing

simple operating status monitoring. Once the power adapter has been

connected, the Power LED will become illuminated; similarly, when

the unit is in use (i.e. transmitting a video signal), the Active LED will

become illuminated.
