Mindful of the need for variety and flexibility to suit disparate installations, Adder have created a family of products that can fulfil your current requirements and be easily expanded at any future stage. Standard AdderLink AV models There are three different AdderLink AV transmitter and receiver module types available, the choice of each depends upon the quantity and types of devices that need to be driven: AdderLink AV100 pair The AdderLink AV100 package provides a single transmitter and single receiver capable of directly supporting two remote display and speaker sets. The transmitter can additionally support a local monitor and speaker set located adjacent to the source system. Expansion is made possible by connecting further AV100 transmitters to the original module, each supporting their own AV100 receiver modules. The AV100 transmitter and receiver modules are also available separately and are known as the AV100T and AV100R respectively. AdderLink AV104 and AV101 (or AV100) The AdderLink AV104 transmitter and multiple AV101 modules are designed to provide potentially enormous expansion possibilities from the outset. Each AV104 transmitter is capable of directly feeding up to four AV101 receivers. Each receiver supports two remote display and speakers sets, but additionally can also drive a further three receivers and their respective displays/speakers. Additional expansion is also possible by connecting further AV104 transmitters to the original module, each supporting their own multiple AV101 receiver modules.

The serial port of the source PC is presented at the AV200 receiver for use by a remote device such as a touch screen terminal. The AdderLink AV200 models are designed primarily for single point to point operation although they can provide further video/audio expansion via transmitter cascade connections (the serial connection is not expandable). Module mixing Most of the AdderLink AV modules can be mixed together in various combinations quite freely. For instance, an AV104 transmitter can drive mixtures of AV100 and AV101 receivers. Similarly, an AV100 transmitter can control single or cascaded AV101 receivers. An AV100 receiver can also be cascaded from an AV101 receiver, although the reverse is not true. However, the AV200 pair differ from the other modules because they send serial port signals across the CATx link and so MUST NOT be cross connected (via a CATx link) with any other non-AV200 modules. The AV200 transmitter can be used as part of a transmitter cascade with other AV transmitter types. However, the serial port of an AV200 transmitter cannot itself be cascaded. Therefore, if an AV200 transmitter is involved in a cascade, it should be placed as the primary transmitter, connected directly to the source PC system.
