the back of the computer.

A VGA-only computer can be connected to the transmitter using a VGA to DVI-I adaptor. You must
configure the transmitter video settings for VGA through the serial menu. For more information see
“Configuring Video Input Settings” on page 63.
4. Connect the transmitter’s audio and microphone connectors to the appropriately
labeled ports on the back of the computer.
NOTE:
For CD-quality audio, you must configure the transmitter and the receiver using the serial menu. For more
information see “Audio Performance Settings” on page 68.
5. Connect the UTP cable to the transmitter’s RJ-45 connector.
6. Power up the computer.
7. Route the other end of the UTP cable to the location you have chosen for the receiver.
If necessary you can extend the UTP cable via junctions or a hub - subject to normal
Ethernet cabling practices.
The transmitter draws electrical power from two USB ports on the remote computer. One
USB port is not sufficient to power the transmitter. If you have only one USB port on your
remote computer, you will need to order an external power supply for the transmitter from
Black Box.
