Introduction
Overview
The CABLETRONIX CT-HDBASET-330 is a cost effective HDBaseT
extender solution featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE), and offers distribution
of uncompressed 4K@60Hz UHD video, HD audio, Ethernet, RS232, and
two-way IR control up to 100m/330ft along a single CAT5E/6 cable.The unit
also features HDCP 2.2 compatibility for distribution of encrypted content.
The bi-directional Power over Ethernet technology of the CT-HDBASET-330
ensures only one power adapter is needed at either TX (transmitter) or RX
(receiver) side to power both units. LEDs indicate power is being supplied to
the units, and indicates an established connection between connected
devices.

Hardware Installation
1. Connect an HDMI source (such as a Blu-Ray, gaming console, media
server etc.) to Transmitter using high-quality HDMI cables.
2. Connect a high-quality, well terminated Cat5e/6 cable between the HDBT
output of the Transmitter and HDBT input of the Receiver.
3. Connect the HDMI display (LED/LCD display or projector) to the HDMI
output of the Receiver
4. Connect IR emitters from the IR OUT ports of the Transmitter and
Receiver and firmly attach the IR emitter eye directly over the infrared
receiving sensors of the source and display device to be controlled.
Location of the emitter eye on each device may need to be adjusted later
to achieve best IR performance.
5. Insert IR receivers into IR IN ports of the Transmitter and Receiver.
Position the IR receiver eye on or near the display or source device,
ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote handset used to control it.
6. Connect the power supply to the Transmitter or Receiver and power on
all devices.

Troubleshooting
1. Why is the power LED off?
Check that all the devices are powered on.
Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
2. Why is the Link LED off or blinking?
Check that all the devices are powered on.
Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
Check that the length of Cat5e/Cat6 is appropriate. For more
information, see cable requirements under specification charts.
Check that Transmitter and Receiver work properly.
3. Why does the display connected to the Receiver show no picture?
Check that all the devices are powered on.
Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
Check that the display works properly, and that source devices have
normal signal output.
Check that your display is switched to the correct source input mode,
such as switching to HDMI-1 if HDMI-1 interface is connected to the
Receiver via HDMI cable.
Check that no compatibility issues exist between Receiver and display.
