A/V Extender over Cat6 with TCP/IP Configuration and IR Control
Please review the installation checklist before installing the A/V Extender over Cat6. Test an
active configuration with the included HDMI cables before installing permanently. Sections 3.2
and 3.3 provide a description of the external connections to the A/V Extender Transmitter and
Receivers. Section 3.6 provides Troubleshooting notes.
• Power off the connected HDMI source and destination equipment before connecting the A/V
Extender Transmitter and Receivers or any cabling.
• The A/V Extender Transmitter and Receivers boxes can be surface mounted with the includ-
ed hardware.
• Locate the A/V Extender Transmitter and Receivers within 5 feet of an electrical outlet for
power.
• The included HDMI cables are recommended for the best performance. When using other
HDMI cables, they should be high quality with bare copper conductors in the shortest length
necessary.
• Cat 6 cabling with 24 AWG wire is recommended for the best performance. All cabling or
network components connected to the A/V Extender Transmitter and Receivers should be
rated for Cat 6 performance.
• Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is appropriate for short to medium lengths in a low
RFI/EMI noise environment. Cat 6 shielded cable (STP) is appropriate for medium to long
lengths with potential RF/EM interference.
• The optional IR Transmitter cable (IR-T) must be within 5 feet of the HDMI source. It can be
mounted directly over the IR sensor of the video source so it can be controlled remotely.
Adhesive mounting circles are included for both cables.
• The IR Receiver (IR-R) cable face must be positioned to have line of sight for a hand-held
remote.
• Does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE): Do not connect the A/V Extender Transmitter
and Receivers through PoE improperly implanted devices; it does not work with other PoE
supported transmitters, or receivers.
• Use the provided AC adapter, other adapters may not provide the power needed by this
device.

Please review the following notes if you have any problems connecting the Transmitter
and Receivers of the A/V Extender, HDMI equipment, or cabling.
• Check that the Transmitter and Receivers of the A/V Extender, and the connected
equipment have power. The blue LED power indicators should be lit on both Transmit-
ter and Receivers boxes.
• Check that the correct video input is selected on the output displays.
• Check the video resolution settings of the video source and output displays to verify
that they are compatible.
• Check the audio settings from the HDTV display menu or from the system settings of
the computer to verify the audio output destination.
• Test each HDMI cable by connecting it directly to any equipment with HDMI. When
using HDMI cables longer than 10 feet, they should be high quality cables.
• If using a dedicated unmanaged network switch, verify that the switch has power and is
able to successfully connect other devices.
• Test the Cat 6 cable connections and performance.
• Sharp bending of the CAT 6 cable near the connector may reduce the bandwidth and
cause video signal problems.
• The IR Transmitter and Receiver cables must have line of sight with the source IR sen-
sor and the hand-held remote for the video source.
• If the HDMI image is flickering, it may be due to a harsh environment with EMI or RFI
interference. Shielded Cat 6 cabling may be required.
• Press the reset button for 10 seconds after making any changes to the connected
equipment.
