ABOUT YOUR DS801-111 2
DS801-111
Intera Twisted Pair (UTP) to Video +
Stereo Audio Receiver
The DS801-111 provides a means of receiving
computer video and audio signals over
Twisted Pair-type (CAT-5/6) cable when used
together with a compatible ALTINEX Twisted Pair
(UTP) video transmitter, such as the DS801-110 or
DA1930CT.
The DS801-111 is compact and easy to use. The
DS801-111 is able to receive either computer video
or component video along with stereo audio
transmitted over the UTP cable from the
DS801-110 or an equivalent transmitter.
The DS801-111 provides both video and stereo
audio outputs. The DS801-111 offers a female
15-pin HD output for RGBHV/YPbPr signals with
native Plug & Play compatibility and a 3.5 mm jack
is used for the stereo audio output.
The unit also offers video equalization hardware for
long transmission lengths. There is also a Signal
Detect feature that shows when an input signal is
present.
The latest generation of Twisted Pair devices uses
an innovative, patented technology* developed by
ALTINEX. The new signal processing technology
allows transmitting and receiving fully equalized
computer video signals, stereo, and audio signals
over long distances.

INSTALLING YOUR DS801-111 6
Step 1. Determine the best location for the
DS801-111. Where possible, locate the
TP Transmitter as close to the video
source as possible and the DS801-111 as
close to the receiving component as
feasible.
Step 2. Apply power to the 2-pin terminal block on
the rear of the DS801-111. The
Power/Signal Present LED should be on
and red.
Step 3. Connect the receiving display to the
output of the DS801-111 using a
high-quality video cable.
Step 4. Connect the audio amplifier or speakers
to the audio jack on the DS801-111.
Step 5. Run a UTP-type (CAT-5/CAT-5e) cable
from the 4TP INPUT on the DS801-111
Receiver to the 4TP OUTPUT on the TP
Transmitter.
NOTE: Ensure good signal transmission
by routing the cable to avoid any
sharp angles, creases, or bends.
Step 6. Connect the TP Transmitter per its
installation instructions. In the case of the
DS801-111, when the TP signal from the
DS801-110 is applied, the Power/Signal
Present LED will turn from red to green
indicating a signal is present.
Step 7. The units are now operational.
OPERATION 7
The DS801-111 requires only one adjustment to be
made for optimal performance. The adjustment is
video equalization for long cable lengths.
7.1 VIDEO EQUALIZATION
Video equalization is provided to fine-tune the
displayed image on the remote display.
Typically, for short cable runs the equalization
will be set to near minimum.
Start by setting the equalization to minimum on
both units. Adjust the equalization on the
receiver first. This adjustment should at least
allow the receiving display to receive an image.
Then use the equalization on both units to
fine-tune the image for optimal quality.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied DS801-111. However, we
would like to offer suggestions for the following:
8.1 NO DISPLAY Cause 1: The source has a problem.
Solution: Check the source and make sure
there is a signal present and all
source connections are correct. If
the source is working and there is
still no display, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: The path has a problem.
Solution: Connect the transmitter directly to
the receiver using a short UTP
patch cable. If the image is good,
there is a problem with the cable.
Otherwise, see Cause 3.
400-0442-006
Cause 3: Cable connections are incorrect.
Solution: Make sure that cables are properly
connected. Also, make sure that the
continuity and wiring are good. If
there is still no display present, see
Cause 4.
8
SPECIAL APPLICATION
Cause 4: Video equalization required.
Solution: Adjust the VIDEO EQUALIZATION
on the DS801-111.
Some monitors are very sensitive to
signal quality and this may prevent
the monitor from displaying an
image until the equalization is
adjusted. See the operation section
for adjustment details.
Cause 5: The display has a problem.
Solution: Make sure the display is powered
and is turned on. If there is still no
display, please call ALTINEX at
(714) 990-2300.
8.2 NO SOUND Cause 1: The source has a problem.
Solution: Check the source and make sure
that there is a signal present and all
source connections are correct. If
the source is working and there is
still no sound, see Cause 2.
