The ASP-CATx1VS HDMI with 3D over Single CAT6 Extender with IR and RS-232 boosts your
video/audio transmission distance up to 100m (330ft) in any HDTV format up to 1080p with 48-bit
color depth and 3D. ASP-CATX1VS supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint with
HDMI 1.4 specification and therefore guarantees the highest 3D video compatibility on the market.
With only one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable, 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 or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With the
advanced design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD
audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility makes HDCP
compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater
distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart. In addition,
ASP-CATX1VS is also equipped with IR and bi-directional serial pass-through path.
The ASP-CATX1VS includes two units: transmitting unit ASP-CATX1VS-TX and receiving unit
ASP-CATX1VS-RX. The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals and
carry the signals via one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable to the receiving unit.

1. AllHDMIover CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden Cat-5e 125MHz LAN cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.The transmission distance is defined as the distance between the
transmitting unit (TX) and the receiving unit (RX).
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of HDMI sources,and the type of HDMI
display.The testing results show solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable [300m/1000ft] style) can transmitsignalsa lot
longer than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord style). Shielded STPcables are better suited than unshielded
UTPcables.Asolid UTPCAT5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STPCAT6 cable. For long
transmission applications, solid UTPcables are the only viable choice.
3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance.
4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in UTPcable, one can use shielded STP cables
to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
5. Ifyour HDMIdisplay has multiple HDMIinputs, itis found thatthe first HDMIinput [HDMI input #1]generally can
produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
