What is SmartCast?

The SmartCast is a combination of transmitter and receiver devices
designed to transmit high resolution computer video and/or audio signal
over Cat 5 wire. AV stands for Audio Visual and includes such signal
formats as High-Definition and Standard Definition Video, Broadcast Video
(TV video signal), Computer Video (VGA, SVGA, SXGA and etc. signals) and
various formats of Audio signals.

Why is SmartCast necessary?

Sometimes AV signals need to be transmitted over distances greater than
commonly specified product limitations of 5m. In this case several choices
are available, but most are expensive and bulky, which is in some cases
simply not practical, due to space limitations in the conduits.
The SmartCast allows the transmission of AV signals over a standard Cat 5
UTP cable over distances of up to 300m. The actual distance is a function
of the signal resolution and cable quality. The following is a rough guide to
distance and resolution:

How does SmartCast work?

The Smart-e SmartCast is designed to transmit desktop computer video
and stereo audio signals over (UTP) unshielded twisted pair category 5 (Cat

5) cabling. They are supplied with a UK power supply and consists of a
transmitter with one input and five outputs (Cascade able up to 20
outputs).

The transmitted signals depends on the model but supported signals are
CVBS, YUV, Y/C, RGsB, RGBS analogue format and Stereo Audio. The
basic concept behind this product is the ability to encode and decode
analogue signal combined with precise line equalization and compensation.

Cat5 Cable Length Maximum Recommended Resolution

200m UXGA (1600x1200)

200m 1080p (1920x1080)

300m SXGA (1280x1024)

1. Preparing for installation

Start installation process by ensuring that all video displays and audio
devices are compatible with the computers being used.
This is accomplished by connecting the devices directly to the computer
and checking that the devices operate as desired without the SmartLynx
system.

Install CAT-5 wiring between desired locations. In order to minimize system
operation difficulties, avoid routing the system cables near fluorescent
lights, air conditioners, or machines that may create electrical noise.

4.1 Using the RS232-RS422 converter (AL-300) and adaptor cable

(CAB-R19-1M) provided, connect to an available serial port on the
control system/computer.
(If not using the supplied cable please contact your nearest Smart-e
distributor or call [phone] for pin out information)

4.2 Connect the RJ45 on the adaptor cable to the left RJ45 socket on
the transmitter, this is labelled “RS232 IN” on the diagram below.

4.3 You may connect the unit to additional cascaded units using a
standard (NOT cross-over) patch cable to connect the Right RJ45
socket (RS232 OUT)’ to the left RJ45 socket (RS232 IN) on the
following unit.

4.4 In order to cascade the serial control, each transmitter must have a
unique address allocated - this is set by adjusting the rotary hex
switch. There are 16 positions (0-F) allowing up to 16 units to be
cascaded

7. System Power up

7.1 Turn the system on by plugging in the power adapter to the
SmartLynx if they are not yet connected (See diagram
opposite).

7.2 Power up your computer.

7.3 Observe both transmitter and receiver power LED are ON,
and source device is switched on.

8. Preparing and connecting System CAT-5 cable

The SmartLynx utilizes category 5 (CAT 5), unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to
transport signal between transmitter and receiver.

CAT 5 cable is more desirable than coaxial cable due to its low cost and ease of
installation. This cable is used for LAN applications and is found in abundance,
already installed, in many buildings . The category 5 is a standard which
establishes minimum requirements for telecommunications cabling within a
commercial building. The standard covers various aspects of wiring including
telecommunications outlets.

Following is the wiring standard for terminating CAT 5 cable using RJ 45
connector:

Pair 1 Pins 1 & 2
Pair 2 Pins 3 & 6
Pair 3 Pins 4 & 5
Pair 4 Pins 7 & 8

Connectors: RJ-45
Capacitance: 14 pf/ft (46.2 pf/m)
Conductor Gauge: 24 AWG
Impedance: 100 +/- 15 ohms

2. Setting the cable length dials

The Receiver unit is preset for approximately 50m which is sufficiently accurate for most
applications. However if the image does not look sharp enough then follow the instructions
below

2.1 Whilst looking at an image on the display, preferably a long horizontal
bar, adjust the CABLE COMPENSATION dial.

2.2 Looking at the right-hand edge of the bar you will see the image
change. A highlighting bright edge means over compensation, whilst
a blurred dark edge means under compensation.

2.3 Adjust the dial until both effect are neutralized.

The Contrast control dial is factory pre-set and usually needs no adjustment.

Installation and Operation—SLX-RX100

3. Sync Processing

For VGA applications the Transmitter adds the Horizontal and Vertical Sync Pulses to
the Blue and Red channels. However, since the unit has been designed for use with
other types of video the Receiver provides the ability to pass both the Red and Blue
channels transparently or process them to remove the Sync Pulses.

3.1 To pass video transparently the jumpers must be set in the Video
position.

3.2 To process the video and remove the Sync Pulses the jumpers must
be set in the VGA position.

In the example below the Blue and Green channels are set to remove Sync Pulses and
the Red channel is set to pass the video transparently.

Troubleshooting

No video?

1) Are the green LEDs on both the transmitter and receiver units? If not check that
the 24V power supply (PSU) is connected and the LED on the PSU is lit. Check the
cable compensation dials on the underside of the unit. Over compensation of the
Red and Blue channels can cause the display to misinterpret the sync pulses and
not display an image.

2) Is the video source a laptop or floating? (a floating source is one which has no
earth reference i.e. uses a double insulated PSU or a figure 8 mains cable). If so
make sure the PSU is an earthed unit when not using the PSU supplied.

3) Is the audio input level too high? The audio level should be set to line level (0dB or
700mV peak to peak) to prevent interference.

Display has problems syncing?
