Introduction
The HDMI™ over CAT5 Distribution Series provides the most flexible solution by
which high definition video and high quality audio can be transmitted to different
locations over a long distance. The devices are cascadable, allowing you to extend
HDMI/DVI compliant displays to almost anywhere.

Features
Technical Specifications and Package Content
• HDMI™ 1.2a compliant
• HDCP compliant
• Allows unlimited cascading
• Regenerates the HDMI™ signal
• Supports audio output
• Supports default HDMI™ EDID and record the EDID of displays
• Extends up to 15m (50ft) of input HDMI™ cable
• Extends up to 15m (50ft) of output HDMI™ cable
• Extends up to 60m (200ft) (1080i) of output CAT5 cable

Rotary Switch
The Rotary Switch on AT-HD19SS allows you to send several test patterns.
VIDEO PATTERNS
Rotary Switch
Rotary 1: Stereo audio output
Rotary 2: Running circles with increasing radius
Rotary 3: White Running Circle with Black Background
Rotary 4: Black Running Circle with White Background
Rotary 5: Color Bar Rotary 6: Mosaic
Rotary 7: Check board 1 Rotary 8: Check board 2

Rotary 9: Pure Red
Rotary A: Pure Green
Rotary B: Pure Blue
Rotary C: Pure Black
Rotary D: Pure White
Rotary E: Write default EDID (indicate by green LED)
Rotary F: Save Monitor EDID (indicate by green LED)
Atlona AT-HD19SS can support HDMI™ and DVI displays by configuring the DIP switch at
right position
DIP Switch: Up --- HDMI mode
DIP Switch Down --- DVI mode
Green LED: when input detect HDMI in --- bright
For example: Output 1 to HDMI™ TV and Output 2 to DVI monitor. Set DIP switch 1 at
position up and switch 2 at down position.
AT-HDRS
HDMI-OUT: Connect to HDMI™ display with a HDMI™ M-M cable.
EQ: Adjust the 8-level equalization control knob to the received HDMI™ signals.
0 - 7 = strongest - weakest. It is recommended to switch from 7 to 0 to find the optimal
visual experience.

Hardware Installation
AT-HD19SS
Broadcasts HDMI™ signals to 8 remote displays and one local display
1. Switch off all devices, including monitors.
2. Connect a local HDMI™ display to the HDMI™ Out of the AT-HD19SS
3. Connect HDMI™ source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the HDMI™ In.
4. Connect to the receivers (AT-HDRS) via RJ45 connectors by a CAT5e cable.
5. Plug in 5V 4A DC power supply.
6. Power on the HDMI™ monitors.
7. Power on the HDMI™ source.

Notice
1. If your DVI/HDMI device requires an EDID present, you can use EDID Reader/Writer
to provide DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN Cat5/5e/6 cables, the
type of A/V sources, and the type of A/V display. The testing result shows solid LAN
cables (usually in 300m/1000ft form) can transmit signals a lot longer than stranded
LAN cables (patch cord). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP
cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows a longer transmission length than stranded
STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid cables are your only choice.
3. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable,
you can use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which worsen in long
transmissions.
4. Because the quality of the LAN cables has a major effect in how long the transmission
distance will be as well as the quality of the signal received by the display, the actual
transmission length is subject to your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or
1280x1024, a shielded CAT-6 cable is recommended.
