The AT-HDMI40SRS 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 o
f
HDCP compliant source, to any remote display including HDMI/DVI enabled TV set
LCD, or monitors. This cost effective solution allows HDCP compliant sources and
players to transmit high quality video and audio at greater distances.
The AT-HDMI40SRS 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 equalization control switch on the receiving unit,
users can adjust the equalization strength to the received TMDS signals, and
therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.

Note for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) learning
1. Don’t plug in HDMITM cable to HDMITM input connector while processing writing
default EDID or writing display’s EDID.
2. The LED next to the rotary controller turns off when the writing process is completed.
3. Please connect the display which you want to read EDID to HDMI-IN and turn Mode
to 7so the TX can learn the EDID information from the connected HDTV. The LED
on the RJ-45 of TX will dim and light again in a few seconds, which indicates the
EDID learning is finished.
4. Turn Mode clockwise from Mode 7 to Mode 0 or Mode 1 and enjoy the experience.
DO NOT let the rotary arrow pass by mode 6 which will erase the EDID just learned
and set back to default EDID.

The AT-HDMI40SRS HDMI Extender over Single CAT5e has been tested for conformit
y
to safety regulations and requirements in the US, and has been certified for international
use. However, like all electronic equipment, the AT-HDMI40SRS should be used with
care.
Please read and follow the safety instructions to protect yourself from possible injury
and to minimize the risk of damage to the unit.
NOTICE
H ARDWARE I NSTALLATION
1. Connect your HDMI/DVI source (such as a DVD player) to the transmitting unit.
2. Connect your HDMI/DVI display (such as a plasma TV) to the receiving unit.
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.
‧Follow all instructions and warnings marked on this unit.
‧Do not attempt to service this unit yourself, except where explained in this manual.
‧Provide proper ventilation and air circulation and do not use near water.
If a flickering 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.

1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader /
Writer to retrieve and provide DVI / HDMI EDID information.
2. All transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT-5e 125MHz cable.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN 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 a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (patch
cord). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP
CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For
long extension users, solid cables are your only choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better
performance.
5. 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 is worsen in long
transmission.
6. Because the quality of the LAN 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 LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a
CAT-6 cable is recommended.
