Receiver Unit in the series.

Optional:4. If transmitting audio, connect the speaker/line out on the

computer sound card to “Audio-In“ connector.

Optional:5. Connect speakers to the “Audio-Out” passthrough port.

Optional:6. If you wish to receive audio from a microphone, connect

the mic-in on the computer sound card to the “Mic-out” connector.

Optional:7. Connect the serial port on the computer to DB9 “Serial”

port using a straight-through cable.

Receiver Unit

Connect the 5V power supply to the “Power” connector.1.

Connect a monitor to the “VGA-Out” connector.2.

Connect a USB keyboard/mouse to the USB type A connectors.3.

Connect the Cat5e cable from Transmitter Unit to the “Link In” port.4.

To connect additional Receiver Units, connect a Cat5e cable from5.

the “Link Out” port, to the “Link In”, of any additional units.

Optional:6. Connect a microphone to the “Mic-In” port.

Optional:7. Connect speakers to the “Audio-Out” port.

Optional:8. Connect an RS-232 serial device to the “Serial” port.

Driver Installation

No drivers or additional software need to be installed on the host

computer.

Conguration

Serial Data Link

The SV565UTPUSA is able to link two RS232 ports together to allow

touchscreens, monitor control ports and other devices to be used

remotely. The port’s baud rate is detected automatically and supports

300 to 19200 bps, with 9600 being the preferred rate. If using a baud

rate other then 9600 it may take several bytes of data being sent to

properly calibrate it. By default the ﬁrst Receiver Unit has control of

the serial port, but any Receiver Unit can be accessed by using the

conﬁguration menu on the Transmitter Unit.

Automatic Calibration Button and Light

SV565UTPUSA is able to automatically calibrate to different cable

lengths in order to preserve image quality. This allows it to work out

of the box without any adjustments. Once a good calibration setting is

attained, it can be set into ﬁxed calibration mode. This ensures it uses

the same settings if it is reset or powered off.

The calibration button on the back of the Receiver Unit can be pressed

with the tip of a pen. The image will display a brief test pattern and the

indicator light will ﬂash. If it is held for more then half a second, it will

switch to ﬁxed calibration mode. In ﬁxed mode the indicator LED below

the button will light up and auto calibration will not occur in this state.

Press and hold the button again to return to auto calibration mode.

Manual Calibration and Settings Menu

A text-based menu is available on the serial port of both the Transmitter

and Receiver units. This can be used to make ﬁne adjustments to the

image quality. The menu can be accessed by connecting the serial port

to a PC or laptop using a straight-through cable for Transmitter Unit or

a null modem cable for Receiver Unit. For computers that don’t have

a serial port built in, the StarTech.com ICUSB232 can be used. You

can use any terminal communication software to connect to the serial

port, such as minicom for UNIX, and HyperTerminal or TeraTerm for

Windows.

If the serial data link is being used, the Transmitter Unit will already

be set up for serial communication. To connect to a Receiver Unit the

serial device must be unplugged ﬁrst and replaced with the RS232 null

modem cable. Use the same baud rate that the serial device and PC

had used to communicate.

If you are not using the serial link just attach the RS232 cable and use

9600 bps. Also conﬁgure the terminal software to use 8N1, or 8 bits

with no parity and 1 stop bit.

An escape code is used to enter the serial menu from data transfer

mode. The code is a one second delay, followed by 3x @ symbols,

then another one second delay. A conﬁrmation message will appear if

it works. If it does not appear, try again a few times because it depends

on timing. To exit the menu press X to return to data transfer mode.

Commands are case sensitive.

The Transmitter Unit is able to access all of the Receiver units attached

to it, allowing changes to be made from a central location. Also the

Transmitter Unit can change which Receiver Unit has the serial link

enabled. Receiver units can change their own settings, allowing for

ﬁne-tuning to be made in the ﬁeld using a laptop.

Commands

h - Help, show all commands

p - Print settings

f - Auto calibration enable

F - Fixed conﬁg enable. Use this to lock in the settings after adjusting

Auto calibrate next Receiver Unit in the chain. Use this after youn -

make any adjustments to vCtrl or gain

z/x - Decrease/increase gain for brightness

c/v - Decrease/increase vCtrl for distance compensation

a/s - Decrease/increase Red skew compensation

q/w - Decrease/increase Green skew compensation

1/2 - Decrease/increase Blue skew compensation

0 - Restore factory default settings and recalibrate

R - Reset device

X - Exit menu and restore serial link mode

Transmitter Unit specic commands

Get calibration from a certain Receiver unit. You must do this ﬁrstg -

in order to change any settings. Type the desired Receiver Unit

address and then Enter

Select which Receiver Unit gets the serial port link to ther -

Transmitter Unit

The ﬁrst Receiver Unit has address 1, the second has address 2, etc.

Gain adjusts the brightness of the signal caused by losses in the cable.

This does not normally need to be ﬁne tuned, it is better to adjust

the monitor’s settings if it is too dark, too bright or has color balance

problems.
