like transferring HDMI video and new lossless compressed (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and
DTS-HD Master Audio) digital audio, all with a bandwidth up to 165MHz. You can also use your
existing remote to control your device through an enclosed IR blaster.

V. Connect and Operate
1. Connect the signal source such as Blu-Ray Player, Play Station 3, audio/video receiver, or
satellite receivers and computers equipped with HDMI output interfaces, with a short
high-speed HDMI cable to the HDMI Transmitter input. HDMI cable length should not
exceed 5 metres.
2. Connect the HDMI Transmitter output RJ-45 ports using single Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cable to
included Receiver. It is strongly recommended that factory terminated cable assemblies be

6
used, and their length shall not exceed 50 metres respectively for the extenders.
3. Connect the HDMI output from the Receiver to high-definition display devices such as
HD-LCD, HD-DLP and HD projectors with HDMI input interfaces. Use high-speed HDMI
cables that are recommended for the distances that are required for each connection. HDMI
cable length should not exceed 5 metres.
4. The source can be controlled from the display. This is accomplished by using an optional IR
Receiver pigtail pointing away from the display, which can be connected to the receiver
portion of the extender. The IR Transmitter pigtail is then connected to the Transmitter of the
extender and pointed at the source.
