Introduction
The AdderLink AV range of digital signage extenders are designed and bui\
lt 
specifically for use wherever high quality video and sound must be fai\
thfully 
reproduced at distant locations. Mindful of the need for variety and fl\
exibility 
to suit disparate installations, Adder have created a family of products\
 that can 
fulfil your current requirements and be easily expanded at any future \
stage.

Support for DDC (Display Data Channel)
The Display Data Channel standard allows video monitors to define thei\
r 
characteristics so that the source computers to which they are connected\
 can 
optimise their video outputs accordingly. By their nature, the AdderLink\
 AV 
extenders enable multiple video displays to be attached to a single sour\
ce 
computer. This causes a complication for handling the DDC standard, howe\
ver,

Further expansion
Transmitter cascading
As mentioned earlier, the AV100 
and AV104 transmitters are all 
capable of supporting additional 
transmitter modules (and their 
subsequent receivers). This is 
achieved using the video and 
audio out ports 
to provide the 
inputs into the 
next transmitter 
module, and so 
on. A limit of 
three cascade 
connections 
(comprising both 
transmitter and/or 
receiver cascades) 
is possible within 
any...

Installation
Locations
Please consider the following important points when planning the positio\
ns of 
your AdderLink AV modules:
•	 Take	care	not	to	exceed	the	maximum	link	cable	lengths	(please	refer	to	the	
section Making cascade connections). 
•	 Ensure	that	the	transmitters	are	as	close	as	possible	to	the	source	PC	system	
and the receivers are similarly close to the display modules. Use video \
connection cables that are correctly...

Using the rear mounting slot
The slot at the rear of each module allows it to be hung upon a fixed \
screw that 
protrudes from the mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: The internal circuit board is accessible through the mounting\
 slot. 
Ensure that any mounting screws protrudes no further than ½” (12.\
5mm) into 
the module casing - serious electrical damage will be caused if the scre\
w makes 
contact with the internal circuitry.

Using the optional rack mount chassis
1 Place the optional rack plate onto the front of the transmitter or recei\
ver 
module and secure it with the countersunk screws. 
2	 Orient	the	module	on	its	side	so	that	its	labelled	face	is	the	correct	way	up	
and the securing plate is facing away from the rack. 
3 Slide the module into the required rack position.
