ADDERLink DV100 HDMI Video Extender Quick Start

							Your AdderLink DV100 package
The AdderLink DV100 allows you to extend HDMI digital video over a maxim\
um of 50 meters of 
twisted pair cable with the minimum of infrastructure and fuss. It is si\
mply powered via USB from 
the transmitter end, so that no additional power supply is required at t\
he receiver, simultaneously 
saving time and space as well as making installation very straightforwar\
d.

Regulatory information
EMC directive 2004/108/IEC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a\
 class A computing 
device in accordance with the specifications in the European standard \
EN55022. These limits are 
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. \
This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed a\
nd used in accordance 
with the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio or televis\
ion reception. However, 
there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur in a part\
icular installation. If this 
equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, whic\
h can be determined by 
turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the \
interference with one 
or more of the following measures: (a) Reorient or relocate the receiv\
ing antenna. (b) Increase 
the separation between the equipment and the receiver. (c) Connect the\
 equipment to an outlet 
on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. (d\
) Consult the supplier or an 
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC compliance statement (United States)
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy an\
d if not installed 
and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’\
s instructions, may cause 
interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to co\
mply with the limits for 
a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Su\
bpart J of part 15 of FCC 
rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such \
interference when the 
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equ\
ipment in a residential 
area may cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense w\
ill be required to take 
whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference. Changes \
or modifications not 
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authorit\
y to operate the equipment.

port cannot provide sufficient power.  
Safety information
•	 For	use	in	dry,	oil	free	indoor	environments.
•	 Ensure	that	the	twisted	pair	interconnect	
cable is installed in compliance with all ap-
plicable wiring regulations. 
•	 Do	not	connect	the	interconnect	cable	to	
any other equipment, particularly network 
or telecommunications equipment.

							Connecting your AdderLink DV100
Power control
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the transmitter unit, via the CATx cable, to a\
nything other than 
the receiver unit. 
Low voltage power for the receiver unit is fed via the same link cable a\
s is used for the video. 
The transmitter unit always performs a check before applying power along\
 the link cable. 
The transmitter unit will disable the power if:
•	 The	cable	is	disconnected,	or
•	 Line	power	is	overloaded.
Transmitter unit
1 Connect the plugs to the HDMI video 
output socket and a vacant USB port on 
the computer. Note: The USB connection 
provides only power for the units. 
2 Attach one end of the link cable to the 
socket at the end of the transmitter unit.
Receiver unit
1 Connect the video plug to the HDMI 
socket on the display screen.
2 Attach the other end of the link 
cable to the socket at the end of the 
receiver unit.  
IMPORTANT: 
•	 Use	only	screened	(FTP)	cable	(CAT6	or	better)	to	connect	the	two	units.	
•	 Do	not	connect	the	transmitter	unit,	via	the	CATx	cable,	to	anything	other	than 	
the receiver unit.

HDMI operation
The AdderLink DV100 can support HDMI video (including 480p, 720p and 1080p) and audio up 
to	a	maximum	165MHz	clock	rate.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is supported, however\
, the Consumer 
Electronics Control (CEC) scheme is not.
Video display (EDID) information
Extended Display Identification Data (or EDID) is an industry standa\
rd scheme which allows 
video displays to declare their capabilities to the computer’s video \
adapter circuitry, allowing 
the	latter	to	optimize	their	outputs	accordingly.	Since	the	widespread	adoption	of	the	scheme,	
video adapters have become increasingly dependent on receiving relevant \
EDID information 
during start-up, before they will output anything more than a rudimentar\
y video signal.
Each time that the AdderLink DV100 units are powered on, the receiver un\
it attempts to read 
the EDID information from the connected video display. The information i\
s then transferred to 
the transmitter unit and made available to the computer’s video adapt\
er when required.
Cable considerations
To	ensure	correct	operation,	Category	6	(or	better)	shielded	twisted	pair	cable,	no	longer	than	
50 meters in length, must be used to connect the transmitter and receive\
r units. The use of 
shielded cables is important to maintain compliance with radio frequency\
 energy emission 
regulations and ensure a suitably high level of immunity to electromagne\
tic disturbances. 
For best results, Adder recommends S/FTP CAT7 cable such as Adder part n\
umber VSCAT7-50.
Patch panels or cable couplers should only be used close to the transmit\
ter unit, connected by 
CAT7 patch cables of no more than 2m in length. The overall cable run mu\
st be reduced by 5m 
if a coupling is used.
