Installation

Before setting up the Digital Signage broadcast system, make sure

there is a plan for the Cat5 cable deployment. The cabling layout

should be based on providing the shortest cable lengths, while

avoiding sources of electromagnetic interference. The cabling between

the transmitter unit and receivers should also not pass through any

standard networking equipment (e.g. routers, switches, etc) as they do

not communicate with each other using standard networking protocols.

DS128 Transmitter Installation

Make sure the VGA video source and all remote display devices are1.

powered off.

Place the DS128 broadcaster near the VGA video source and plug2.

in the power adapter.

Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable from the Broadcaster Unit’s LAN3.

port to a network access point (e.g. network router, switch, hub, etc.).

The “Ethernet” port acts as a network hub, if the video source also

requires a network connection.

Connect the VGA video source to the input connector on the4.

Broadcaster using a standard male/female VGA cable. If using audio

as well, connect a 3.5mm mini-jack cable from the audio source to

the audio input connector on the Broadcaster.

OPTIONAL: Connect a DB9 serial cable from the serial control unit

(e.g. computer system) to the DB9 serial input on the Transmitter with

the appropriate type of serial cable for your setup.

OPTIONAL: Connect a local monitor and/or speakers to the “Monitor”

VGA and 3.5mm mini-jack connector on the Broadcaster.

Connect an RJ45 terminated Category 5e UTP cable to the output5.

connectors on the Broadcaster for each remote display device. This

cable must be a straight run from the Broadcaster to the remote

location, without passing through any networking equipment (e.g.

router, switch, hub, etc.).

DSRXL Receiver Installation

Place the DSRXL Receiver unit near the remote video display device1.

and connect the power adapter to the Receiver unit.

Connect the Receiver unit’s “Monitor 1” VGA connector to the video2.

display device with a standard male/male VGA cable. If using audio,

connect the audio receiver/speakers to the “Audio” connector for

“Monitor 1”, using a 3.5mm mini-jack cable.

OPTIONAL: Connect the serial controlled device (i.e. the display

device) to the RS232 DB9 connector for “Monitor 1”.

NOTE: A second set of devices can be connected to a single Receiver

unit, by connecting them to the “Monitor 2” connectors.

Connect the UTP cable from the Transmitter unit to the “System In”3.

connector on the Receiver Unit.

NOTE: Receiver Units can be daisy-chained together by connecting

a UTP cable from the “System Out” connector to the “System In”

connector on another Receiver Unit. Up to 5 levels of Receiver Units

can be chained together.

Repeat previous steps for each Receiver unit that needs to be set4.
