Introduction
Features
The AT-HDMI40SR boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up
to 60m/200ft in HDTV 1080i format. With only one cost effective CAT-5/5e
cable, users can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, PS3, PC,
or any other kind of HDCP compliant source, to any remote display includ-
ing HDMI/DVI enabled TV set LCD, or monitor. This cost effective solution
allows HDCP compliant sources and players to transmit high quality video
and audio at greater distances.
The AT-HDMI40SR includes two units: transmitting and receiving units.
The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI/DVI signals and
carry the signals through one RJ-45 connector into one CAT-5/5e/6 cable.
The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the sent TMDS multimedia
data. The transmission distance between the sending and receiving units
can be up to 60m/200ft at 1080i and 40m/130ft at 1080p. With the equaliza-
tion control switch on the receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization
strength to the received TMDS signals, and therefore optimize the trans-
mission distance between source and destination.
• HDMI 1.2a compliant
• Extend the signal distance of an HDMI source up to 60m/200ft at 1080i or 720p
• Extend the signal distance of an HDMI source up to 40m/130ft at 1080p
• HDCP compliant
• Minimize the cable skew by adjustable 8-level equalization knob

Hardware Installation
1. Connect your HDMI/DVI source (such as a DVD player) to the transmit-
ting unit AT-HDMI40S.
2. Connect your HDMI/DVI display (such as a plasma TV) to the receiving
unit AT-HDMI40R.
3. Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving
units.
4. Make sure your CAT-5/5e/6 cable is tightly connected and not loose.
5. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the receiving unit.
6. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the transmitting unit.
7. If a ickering or a blinking image is seen, try to adjust the rotational switch
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.
Notice
1. If your HDMI/DVI device requires an EDID present, you can use an EDID
Reader/Writer to provide DVI / HDMI 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
CAT-5/5e/6 cable, you can use shielded CAT-5/5e/6 cables to improve EMI
problems, which worsens in long transmissions.
4. Because the quality of the CAT-5/5e/6 cables has major effects in how
long transmission distance will be, and the quality that is received by the
display, the actual transmission length is subject to your CAT-5/5e/6 cables.
For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT-6 is recommend-
ed.

Note for EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) learning
1. Please connect the display which you want to read EDID with a HDMI
cable to the transmitter’s HDMI-IN and turn Mode to 7so the Transmitter
can learn the EDID information from the connected HDTV. The LED on the
RJ45-OUT of Transmitter will dim and light again in a few seconds, which
indicates the EDID learning process is completed.
2. Turn Mode clockwise from Mode 7 to Mode 0 or Mode 1 for desirable
audio setting and enjoy the experience. DO NOT let the rotary arrow pass
by Mode 6 which will erase the EDID just learned and restore the default
EDID.
After the EDID is learned, please turn MODE to 1, then begin to adjust EQ
on Receiver from 7 to 0.
