Introduction 1.1 Model AC504A … for VGA The Model AC504A is a UTP (CAT5) VGA video extender consisting of a transmitter (AC504A-S) and a receiver (AC504A-R) sold together as a pair.

Model AC504A & AC504A-CP 3. Configuration & Operation The Mini-CAT5 Receivers are equipped with an adjustment to improve image quality when using long cables. The adjustment is made via a single turn trim-pot located next to the power connector on the side. When using a long cable, with no compensation, any solid horizontal line, tends to smear to the right.
ss VGA & Component Video-over-CAT5 Extension 4. Troubleshooting 1. Fuzzy, blurry, or ghosting image at remote location If you have a stable image but it looks somewhat blurry (object or character edges are not sharp), try to adjust the compensation first. When the trim-pot is turned fully CCW there is no compensation. As you turn the pot clockwise you are applying compensation. Look at the screen and slowly turn the pot clockwise.
