6 Using Your VP-12NHD 1:12 + 3 UXGA / CAT5 Distributor

This section describes how to connect the VP-12NHD 1:12 + 3 UXGA / CAT5

Distributor. The example in Figure 3 illustrates how to output a computer

graphics signal from a computer to up to 12 local monitors, as well as how to

transmit it over UTP cabling to 3 TP-120 XGA Line Receiver units.

To connect the VP-12NHD and up to 3 TP-120 XGA Line Receiver units, do

the following:

1. Connect a computer graphics source (for example, a computer) to the

INPUT HD15F connector.

2. Connect the OUTPUT HD15F connectors to up to 12 acceptors (for

example, Local Display 1 to Local Display 12).

3. Ensure that the ID BIT switch on the underside of the VP-12NHD is set to

ON (by sliding it to the left). This would enable a notebook or laptop (if

connected instead of a computer) to output a VGA signal to an external

VGA monitor.

4. On the VP-12NHD, connect

the CAT5 RJ-45

 OUT 1 connector to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on a TP-120 unit, and

connect the XGA OUT connector on that TP-120 unit to Display 1

 OUT 2 connector to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on a second TP-120 unit,

and connect the XGA OUT connector on that second TP-120 unit to Display 2

 OUT 3 connector to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector on a third TP-120 unit,

and connect the XGA OUT connector on that third TP-120 unit to Display 3

5. Connect the power cord

(not illustrated in Figure 3).

6. On the TP-120 units, if necessary:

 Set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches

on the underside

 Adjust

the video output signal level and/or cable compensation

equalization level

7. On the VP-12NHD, if required:

 Adjust

the blue, green and red signal levels

 Set the VS and HS switches

1 Via UTP cabling, with a range of more than 300ft (>100m): see section 6.1

2 The TP-120 units may be powered via this connector (instead of via the 12VDC external supply)

3 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine

4 By default, both switches are set down (for negative V SYNC and H SYNC polarity)

5 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level

6 By default, both switches are set to the right (to NORMAL) to retain the VS and HS polarity
