2 AVDS - Getting Started
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
•Review the contents of this user manual
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date
user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
•Position your Kramer AVDS away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and
machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.
Note! In the AVDS system the CAT 5 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 CAT
5 cable.

3.1 The Multi-Functional AVDS System
You can use the AVDS system in the following ways:
Without the Control Unit
The AVDS system constantly broadcasts a computer screen with audio to all
remote monitors/speakers.
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.
