The AdderLink ALAV201R-US is a high-performance receiver unit in the AV200 series that extends crystal-clear VGA video up to 1600x1200@60Hz, CD-quality 44.1kHz digital stereo audio, and transparent RS232 serial over CATx cables up to 300m/1000ft point-to-point, enabling secure remote control and interrogation of video display panels without latency or artifacts. Key benefits include centralized media hardware placement to reduce noise and heat in controlled environments, full RS232 support for powering on/off displays and querying status via third-party systems, and integral DeSkew compensation up to 62ns for color-accurate high-res images over long runs—enhancing reliability in narrowcast digital signage by ensuring uninterrupted playback and simplified maintenance.

Constructed with a durable metal chassis (steel and stainless steel) for robust rack or desktop deployment, it measures 98mm x 95mm x 25mm and weighs 0.5kg, featuring fanless design for silent operation and optional 3U rack chassis supporting up to 16 units. Finely adjustable cable equalization dials optimize video sharpness and brightness independently, while phase-locked sampling clocks eliminate audio clicks during silent periods, powered by an efficient external 5.3V DC 2A adapter with IEC connection for global compatibility.

Ideal for digital signage networks, broadcast control rooms, corporate AV distributions, and retail video walls, it facilitates applications like remote VDU management, multi-display synchronization, and serial-integrated automation. Fully compatible with AdderLink AV200T transmitters, CAT5e/6/7 UTP/STP cabling, all VGA monitors (CRT/flat-panel), RS232 peripherals up to 115200 baud, and major operating systems without drivers.
