Chapter 3: Connecting Your Wizard Multimedia Extender LP  
3. Connecting Your Wizard Multimedia Extender LP  
Local unit:  
1. Connect the HD15 VGA video plug to the video card in the host computer.  
2. Connect the USB Type A connector to a vacant USB port on the computer.  
NOTE: The USB connection only provides power for the units.  
3. Connect the RJ-45 plug to the video interconnect cable.  
Remote unit:  
1. Connect the HD15 VGA video plug to the socket on the display screen.  
2. Attach the other end of the RJ-45 interconnect cable to RJ-45 socket on the  
unit.  
IMPORTANT NOTES:  
1. Screened (FTP) cable is preferred to connect the two units. For cable runs  
greater than 50 m, low-skew cable may also be required to avoid color fringing  
efffects within the video image.  
2. Do not connect the local unit via CATx cable to anything other than the remote  
unit.

Chapter 4: Video Sharpness Adjustment  
4. Video Sharpness Adjustment  
The remote module has a video adjustment to control picture sharpness on the  
display screen.  
To adjust video sharpness:  
1. On the computer, display a suitable high contrast image, ideally with one  
or more black vertical lines on a white background (for example, a capital  
“H” at 72 points in a word processor—see Figure 4-1).  
Black or bright white

2. Insert a small screwdriver into the adjustment screw on the side of the remote  
module.  
3. Turn the screw fully clockwise—you should see a bright white shadow to the  
right of your high contrast image  
4. Turn the screw counter-clockwise until the white shadow disappears and the  
edges of your image become sharp.

Chapter 5: DDC Information  
5. DDC information  
DDC information is not sent from the remote unit. Instead, the local unit holds a  
standard set of DDC details which are suitable for most display screens. If the  
standard details are not suitable, temporarily connect the local unit directly to the  
display screen that is to be emulated and power on the screen.  
NOTE: The local unit must be powered via its USB connection.  
If the DDC information is different than that already held, the yellow indicator will  
flicker rapidly for 2 to 3 seconds while the new information is stored.  
If a problem occurs while attempting to harvest DDC information, the yellow  
indicator on the local unit will show a number of distinct flashes. Note the  
number of flashes in case you need to contact technical support, but otherwise  
retry the procedure.

Chapter 6: Power Control  
6. Power Control  
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the local unit, via the CATx cable, to anything other  
than the remote unit.  
Low voltage power for the remote unit is fed via one of the pairs within the cable.  
The local unit always performs a check before applying power, which is shown by  
flashing the yellow indicator. When power is applied, the yellow indicator will  
remain on.  
The local unit will disable the power and begin flashing its yellow indicator if:  
• The cable is disconnected  
• Line power is overloaded  
If the host computer goes into standby (turns off the display screen by disabling  
sync pulses, as is usually the case) the local unit will disable line power and go into  
a low power mode after a period of approximately 16 seconds. It will not attempt  
to check the line or turn power back on. The yellow indicator will remain off until  
video input is restored.
