What is the ExpandViewTM CAT5? The ExpandViewTM CAT5 from Belkin broadcasts real-time high-resolution video signals to hundreds of remote display monitors. The ExpandViewTM CAT5 consists of the following: · Broadcaster + Control Unit · Line Splitters to expand the system · Remote module that connect to each remote monitor/computer · Dual Remote module connects 2 monitors to the system CAT5 UTP or FTP cables connect the ExpandViewTM CAT5. The Remote units can be up to 110m/360ft away from the Broadcaster. This Quick Installation Guide illustrates the ExpandViewTM CAT5 and explains how to install and operate it. 1 OVERVIEW 2. The multi-functional ExpandViewTM CAT5 You can use the ExpandViewTM CAT5 in the following ways: (A) Without the Control Unit The ExpandViewTM CAT5 constantly broadcasts a computer screen to all remote monitors. (B) With the Control Unit · Broadcast a computer screen to all remote monitors · Darken all remote screens · 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. With both applications broadcast the video up to resolutions of 1600 x 1200 @ 75Hz depending on the cable length. OVERVIEW 3.

Expanding the ExpandViewTM CAT5 You can expand the ExpandViewTM CAT5 to 512 Remote modules by having 2 levels of Line Splitters. Level 1 Line Splitters can have 8 Remote modules or Line Splitters connected. Level 2 Line Splitters can have 8 Remote modules connected. (See page 7). 5. Pre-installation instructions Note! In the ExpandViewTM CAT5 the CAT5 UTP or FTP 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 cable. Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise. SIDE A SIDE B Monitor 6.
