2. INTRODUCTION
The DVI-C5-M-SET, DVI over Single CAT5 Extender Passive Mini extends your DVI transmission distance
up to 15m (65ft) at 1280 x 720 and 12m (40 ft) at 1920x1080 resolutions. With DVI-C5-M-SET, users can
transmit high quality digital video applications through one cost effective CAT-5e LAN cables to the
remote monitor or projector, instead of using short and expensive DVI cables. With embedded EDID
inside the adapter, your VIDEO SOURCE will continue to send the digital video even when the monitor is
not connected. The user can then disconnects the monitor, place it in a remote location and reconnect it
without rebooting the operating system.
The DVI-C5-M-SET includes two units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is connected
to your DVI Source and the receiving unit is connected to the monitor. While successfully connected, the
two LED lights on the RJ-45 connector will blink. With compact size, DVI-C5-M-SET is the most cost
effective choice for bringing your impressive digital video to the remote display.

SCREEN DEFECTS
APPEAR
This product supports up to 1080p resolution.
Check the HDMI connection
If outputting from a PC. Check the maximum resolution range of the
graphics card.
Check the resolution of display equal to to resolution output of the
graphics card.
LEARN EDID TO
TRANSMITTER
(Only From Example 5)
To learn the EDID of HDMI display for respective resolutions signals.
Connect the HDTV to the HDMI local output via HDMI cable
Set pin#1 at on [] first then connect the HDMI input to HDTV
through a HDMI cable. Wait for 20 seconds. The EDID learning
procedure will be finished. If you want to learn the EDID from another

TERMINATION
PLEASE USE EIA/TIA-568-B TERMINATION (T568B) AT ANY TIME
1. If the DVI or HDMI/DVI device requires the EDID information, please use C-EDID-RW EDID
Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of category cables, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the
form of 300m or 1000ft bulk cable) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables
(usually in the form of patch cords). 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 category cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in category cable, you can
use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems.
6. The quality of UTP/STP cables can affect the transmission distance.
7. The video quality is subject to the resolution of the source, also the connected display should be
compatible with the resolution of the source .
