1. INTRODUCTION
The CH-517RXHS is an HDBaseT™ Receiver Scaler designed to scale
the incoming video signal rst, before outputting to its HDMI port.
There is an Optical port providing additional audio extraction feature.
Besides video and audio from the Transmitter, it also takes in 2-way IR,
RS-232 and bidirectional LAN serving, over a single run of CAT5e/6/7
cable at a distance up to 100 meters. Control is via on-panel buttons
or IR remote control and there is an On-screen Display (OSD) providing
selection and system information. The device provides a full range
of output resolutions, up to 1080p and WUXGA (RB). The bidirectional
Power over Ethernet (PoE) function provides greater exibility in
installations.
2. APPLICATIONS
• Up-scale HDMI output to HDTV/PC resolutions
• Up-scale standard denition video to High-Denition TVs/displays
• Extend the operating distance of an HDMI signal
• Lecture room/Showroom/Meeting room/Classroom display and control
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
• CAT5e/6/7 to HDMI with LAN/IR/RS-232/Bidirectional PoE Receiver
• 1×IR Receiver
• 1×IR Blaster
• 24 V/2.7 A DC Power Adaptor
• Remote Control (CR-128)
• Operation Manual
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
HDBaseT compatible Transmitter (input) and output to display with an
HDMI input connection.

2
5. FEATURES
• Supports HDMI scaling to a wide range of HDTV or PC resolutions up
to 1080p and WUXGA (RB)
• Reception of uncompressed data over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable up
to 100m/328ft
• HDBaseT™ 5Play convergence: uncompressed high denition Video
and Audio, LAN serving, Bidirectional Power over Ethernet (PoE) and
controls (IR & RS-232 bypass)
• Supports IR, Remote control, RS-232 (bypass) and on-panel controls
• Provides bidirectional 24V DC power to or receive from compatible
PoE Transmitter through CAT5e/6/7 cable
• Supports Ethernet transmission rates up to 100 Mbps
• Supports HDMI, Optical (S/PDIF) audio sampling rates up to 48kHz
• Supports HDMI and Optical (S/PDIF) audio up to LPCM 2CH
Note:
1. This system was tested with CAT6/23AWG cables, results may vary
with cables of a different specication.
2. The PoE function is designed for powering compatible Transmitter
units only—non-PoE Transmitters will need their own power supply.
Transmitters from other brands may not be compatible.
3. DO NOT connect the LAN connection to the CAT5e/6/7 port.
Doing so may cause a power shutdown and may damage the
device.

2DC 24V: Connect the 24 V DC power supply to the unit and plug
the adaptor into an AC outlet. Only one unit requires powering if
both the Transmitter and Receiver are both PoE compatible.
3RS-232 OUT: Connect to the device that is to be controlled (via
D-Sub 9 pin female cable) by RS-232 commands.
4LAN: Connect to an active network for LAN serving. When any
compatible LAN equipped receivers are connected, this allows
the network access (including internet access if available) to
be shared between any connected LAN equipped receivers.
Connect any Ethernet equipped device e.g. a Smart TV or games
console to the LAN port of a receiver for that device to share the
network/internet access.
Warning: DO NOT connect the LAN connection to the CAT5e/6/7
port. Doing so may cause a power shutdown and may damage the
device.
5IR Blaster: Connect the supplied IR Blaster cable for IR signal
transmission. Place the IR Blaster in direct line-of-sight of the
equipment to be controlled.
6IR Extender: Connect to the supplied IR Receiver cables for IR
signal reception. Ensure that remote being used is within the direct
line-of-sight of the IR Extender.
7CAT5e/6/7 IN: Connect to the Transmitter unit with a Single
CAT5e/6 cable for receiving all data signals.
MODE LED: This LED will illuminate when the power is connected.
