USER MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please
read these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product.
Please keep this manual for future reference.
INTRODUCTION
The HDMI Extender over Single Cat5e/6 with IR extends high definition video and audio
signals and IR, at a distance of up to 164ft/50m over a single Cat5e/6 cable. The HDMI
extender also features EDID management, which will allow source and display
“handshake” for seamless integration. With a single Cat5e/6 cable, high definition
sources with HDMI outputs can be connected to high definition displays with HDMI
inputs over long distances. Deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio is also
supported and compatible. In addition, the extender is also equipped with bi-
directional IR pass-through which allows for source or display control.
The extender includes two units: transmitting unit and receiving unit. The transmitting
unit is used to capture the HDMI input with IR signals and carries the signals via one
Cat5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI
signal and reconstructing IR control signals. The extender offers the most convenient
solution for HDMI extension over a single Cat5e/6 with long distance capability. It is the
perfect solution for any application.

Allows HDMI Audio/Video and IR signals to be transmitted over a single
Cat5e/6 cable

PANEL DESCRIPTIONS:
Transmitting unit
1. HDMI out: Connect the HDMI input of your display such as an HDTV.
2. EDID: The switcher can switch and copy EDID function. If switched to left
position, the extender will copy the HDMI loop out display EDID information to
the source. If switched to the right position, the extender will copy receiver
display EDID to the source
3. HDMI in: Connect the HDMI output port of your source equipment such as
DVD/Blu-ray players or Set-Top-Box with an HDMI cable.
4. IR out: Connect the IR Blaster cable included in the package for IR signal
transmission. Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be
controlled.
5. Power LED: The LED will illuminate when the device is connected with the power
supply.

6. CAT: Connect the CAT output of the transmitter with the CAT input of the
receiver with a CAT5E/6 cable.
7. Link LED: The LED will illuminate when the device is connected to HDMI source.
8. DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor
to an AC outlet.
Receiver unit
1. EQ switcher: HDMI Receiver equalizer switcher.
2. HDMI out: Connect the HDMI input port of your display such as an HDTV.
3. IR in:Connect to the IR Receiver for IR signal reception. Please ensure that
remote being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR receiver.
4. Power LED: The LED will illuminate when the device is connected with the power
supply.
5. CAT: Connect the CAT input of the receiver with the CAT output of the
transmitter using a CAT5E/6 cable.
6. Lock LED: The LED will illuminate when the HDMI signal from the transmitter is
stable.
7. DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor
to an AC outlet. (NOTE: For PoC function, the receiver does not need a power
supply).
RX Equalizer distance adjust
If you see flickering or a blinking image on the display, adjust the EQ switch to improve
the cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for the longest possible
transmission length. MIN stands for the weakest HDMI signal level for short
transmission length. Adjust the signal level from MIN to MAX until desired video quality
is displayed.

CONNECT AND OPERATE
1. Connect a source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or
Satellite Receiver, etc. to the HDMI input on the Transmitting unit.
2. Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the
Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6 up to 164ft/50m to the output of the Transmitting
unit, and the other end to the input of the Receiving unit.
4. For power, plug both the Transmitting unit and Receiving unit with the included
power supplies (Unless using PoC function).
5. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be
powered when either unit is plugged in.)
At this point the connected display should show the source signal connected to the
extender set. If no signal is being displayed, check the receiver EQ switch. If a display is
having difficulty receiving a signal, see EDID section and perform EDID learning or access
the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed).
A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher. Use the source
remote at the receiver emitter to test IR functionality. If the IR remote function is not
responding, check the emitters to ensure they are placed correctly and are plugged into
the correct IR jacks on the Extender set receiving and transmitting units.
