The VM-114H2C supports a range of up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i/SXGA, or up to
30m (98ft) at 1080p/UXGA on shielded BCP-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at
1080i or up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p/UXGA on shielded BCP-DGKat623 cable.
You can daisy-chain up to six devices with the maximum overall distance between
the first and last devices being cumulative and limited by the cable type used.
3.3 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the
transmitter or receiver, can be connected to a power source when the devices are
within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as
the cable can carry power. The distance does not exceed 90m on standard CAT 5
cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

Warning:
Using a TP cable that is incorrectly wired will
cause permanent damage to the device
3.4 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID
2
3.5 Recommendations for Best Performance
) is a data-structure, provided by
a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the
display’s source). The EDID enables the VM-114H2C to “know” what kind of
monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name,
the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size,
luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
VM-114H2C away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
