Features
The Atlona AT-HD-IR40SR HDMI v1.3 Extender over 2 C A T 5e Cables with IR
boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up to 60m / 200ft in HDTV 720p /
1080i format. With two low cost CAT-5/5e/6 cables, users can readily extend HDTV
sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc Player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of
sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI / DVI
enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. This cost effective flexibility makes HDCP
compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit high quality video and audio to a greater
distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart. In addition,
with the included infrared (IR) receiving and transmitting extension cables to facilitate
the control path, users can enjoy high quality audio/video and control the HDMI
sources from the remote site instantly.
The A T -HD-IR40SR includes two units: A T -HD-IR40S as the transmitting unit
and A T -HD-IR40R as the receiving unit. The transmitting unit is used to transfer the
HDMI/DVI and IR signals input and carry the signals through two RJ-45 connectors
over two low cost CAT-5/5e/6 cables. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing
transferred TMDS multimedia data and re-sending IR signals. The transmission
distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m / 200ft at 720p /
1080i and 40m / 130ft at 1080p. With equalization control on the receiving unit, users
can adjust the equalization scale to the received TMDS signals, and therefore
optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.
HDMI 1.3a compliant
Extends the transmission distance up to 60m / 200ft from the sources at 1080i
or 720p
Extends the transmission distance up to 40m / 130ft from the sources at 1080p
Provides independent DDC channel, fully HDCP compliant
Minimizes the cable skew by adjustable 8-level equalization control
Embedded IR control path

1. Connect your HDMI / DVI source (such as a DVD player) to the transmitting unit
A T -HD-IR40S.
2. Connect the IR transmitting cable to the transmitting unitA T -HD-IR40S, and make the
IR transmitter directly point to the IR of HDMI source.
3. Connect your HDMI / DVI display (such as an LCD TV or plasma TV) to the receiving
unitA T -HD-IR40R.
4. Connect the IR receiving cable to the receiving unit A T -HD-IR40R, and make the IR
receiver directly point to the user.
5. Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 cables between the transmitting and receiving units.
6. Make sure your CAT-5/5e/6 cables are tightly connected and not loose.
7. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the receiving unit A T -HD-IR40R.
8. If a flickering or a blinking image is shown on the display, please try to adjust
the rotational EQ control to improve the cable skew. 0 stands for the strongest
EQ while 7 stands for the weakest. Try adjusting the EQ from 7 to 0.

1. If your HDMI / DVI device requires an EDID at present, you can use an EDID
Reader/Writer to provide HDMI / DVI EDID information.
2. All the transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT-5e 125MHz.
3. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in
C A T -5/5e/6 cable, you can use shielded CAT-5/5e/6 cables to improve EMI
problems, which is worsen in the long transmission.
4. Because the quality of the CAT-5/5e/6 cables has the major effects in how long
transmission distance will be made and how good is the received display, the
actual transmission length is subject to your CAT-5/5e/6 cables. For resolution
greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT-6 cable is recommended.
