Introduction

xtraCoN series, Video+ Audio+ USB Extender over LAN : MCNM/ MACND/MACNA series --- provides LAN connectivity via CAT5 cable (or USB cable connection) for HDMI/ DVI / VGA extension from a single video source to multiple video display devices with maximum resolution up to SXGA(1280 x 1024) / UXGA(1600 x 1200)/ Full HD (1920 x 1080). The installation can be easily achieved with an easy 2-step process---installing the driver and connecting both the display and Hub (or source computer) to the Extender Unit by Video and CAT5 cables (or USB A-B cable) respectively. It supports most of the popular Windows systems and Intel-based Mac OS system for extending video via USB connection. Users can have two displays at both the local and remote locations from the same video source and up to 4 Units can be daisy chained at a time.

The connected monitor can be configured to either clone the primary screen, or extend the Windows desktop allowing visibility of more applications at the same time such as while reading the email on one monitor, open the attachment on the other monitor.

With its portability and small footprint, it can be plugged in quickly to deliver high definition signal to a projector or monitor display from a PC or other media repository, which is perfect for situations that require immediate Video/Audio/ USB signal extension with easy set up and high quality output such as applications on public broadcasting, exhibits, courtrooms, classrooms, boardrooms, stock tickers, bus stations etc.

★Additional Requirements

The Unit software can be installed on any desktop or laptop system running Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 or SP3, Windows Vista SP1/SP2 32-bit and 64-bit editions, Windows 7 and Intel-based Mac OS 10.4/10.5. Any predecessor versions of the Windows or other platforms that are not mentioned here won't be supported by any drives currently.

Depending on the interconnection deployments that include Video+Audio extending via LAN and Video+Audio extending via USB, users can select the appropriate Unit software driver from the provided CD for the driver installation to the source computer.

• For the source computer running Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 or SP3, Windows Vista SP1/SP2 32-bit and 64-bit editions, and Windows 7, the scheme of Video+Audio extending via LAN/USB can be implemented by using any model of xtraCoN Series.
• For the source computer running Intel-based Mac OS 10.4/10.5, the scheme of video extending via USB can be implemented by using any model of xtraCoN Series, and the scheme of video extending via LAN is impracticable in this platform.

For the details of driver installation, please proceed to the sections entitled “Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista/ 7” or “Intel-based Mac OS 10.4/10.5”

NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Units and source computer may adversely affect image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If users need to run remote displays at high resolutions and frequencies, use as little Ethernet cabling between locations as possible and avoid practices such as “coiling” unused cable in a ceiling or behind the display.

(USB A-B Cable for connection between the source computer and the Unit should not exceed 5 meters.)

By default, the xtraCoN Unit gets the IP Address from DHCP server automatically. The PC's IP Address must be in the same subnet as the xtraCoN Unit's IP Address for the two devices to communicate. (For example, if xtraCoN Unit's IP Address is 192.168.1.104, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your computer's IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, where x is a value between 1\~254, excluding 104.)

NOTE: To add additional xtraCoN Units, simply connect them to the network. A maximum total of 4 Units can be expanded.

Setup Button: Restore Factory Defaults

Users can reset the xtraCoN Unit back to its original state (Factory Default Settings) through a pinhole Setup Button (as the figure shown below). This feature is helpful for some circumstances, such as IP or password lost or forgotten, etc.. The following procedure will guide you through this process:

Warning: This is a data-destructive process. It is strongly recommended that you backup any/all data from the Unit before starting the restore.

Close-up of a black electronic device showing two ports with an arrow pointing to the port (no text or symbols visible)

Setup Button

Step 1. Make sure that the Unit is powered on. In this state, the POWER LED on the top panel of the Unit should emit steady GREEN light indicating that the power is ON.

Step 2. Press and Hold the setup button 3 seconds with a paper clip or pencil tip. The POWER LED will flash blue light once followed steady GREEN light indicating that the factory defaults are restored.

NOTE: By default, no password is set to the Unit that is set to automatically get the IP Address from DHCP server

Standby and Hibernate, Shut down and Restart

If a computer/laptop connecting to an xtraCoN Unit is placed into standby or hibernate mode, the display goes blank. When the computer/laptop is again powered up (and unlocked if necessary) the connected monitor returns to the same mode as it was before stand by or hibernate.

If the computer/laptop is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the connected display returns to the same mode as it was before shutdown.

Disconnect the xtraCoN Unit

If the xtraCoN Unit is powered off or the USB cable is removed from the computer, the display blanks. All windows and icons move to the primary screen.

Once the computer is reconnected or the xtraCoN Unit is powered up, the display returns to the same mode as it was before disconnection or powered off. However, windows and icons that were previously on the screen will not be moved back.

3. Display Positions

If your computer is connected to more than two displays, you can specify that some are mirrored displays and others show the extended desktop. A mirrored display shows the same content as the main display whereas an extended display will be an extension to your existing desktop. You can arrange your displays so that they match the physical layout of your displays by selecting the ‘Arrangement’ pane within Display Preferences. This ensures that you can easily navigate among all connected displays.

To move the position of a display, click and hold the display you wish to move then drag it to the desired position. The display will be highlighted with a red border whilst you are moving the display to its new position.

NOTE: To extend connected displays, make sure that the “Mirror Display” on the ‘Arrangement’ pane is unchecked.

4. Mirror

When in Mirror mode, additional displays will display what is being shown on the primary display. Checking the “Mirror Display” on the ‘Arrangement’ pane enables this feature.
