1. INTRODUCTION
This transmitter and receiver set is a great solution for extending UHD
video and audio as well as Ethernet and control via a single run of
Cat.5e/6/7 cable over distances up to 70 meters. This extender set
complies with the advanced HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 standards, as
well as supporting the legacy HDCP 1.x and HDMI 1.x standards.
Despite HDBaseT’s 10.2Gbps bandwidth limitation, 4K UHD HDMI video
sources, up to and including 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) as well as 10/12-
bit sources with HDR, are able to be processed and extended by the
use of AVLC (Adaptive Visually Lossless Compression) when needed.
Multiple data and control interfaces are also provided, including IR
and RS-232 connections. The Receiver (PD) is powered by 48V PoH
(Power over HDBaseT) provided by the Transmitter (PSE), allowing for
greater exibility within different installation scenarios.
2. APPLICATIONS
• Household entertainment sharing and control
• Lecture room display and control
• Showroom display and control
• Meeting room presentation and control
• Classroom display and control
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS

4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• HDMI source equipment such as a media player, video game
console or set-top box.
• HDMI receiving equipment such as an HDTV, monitor or audio
amplier.
• The use of “Premium High Speed HDMI” cables, and industry
standard Cat.6, Cat.6a or Cat.7, is highly recommended.
5. FEATURES
• HDMI with HDR, 3D & 4K@60Hz support, DVI 1.0 compatible
• HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.x compliant
• Supports up to 4K UHD (18Gbps, 4K@50/60Hz 4:4:4, 8-bit) video input
• Supports output resolutions up to 4K@50/60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit)
• Supports Deep Color input and output up to 12-bit
• Supports 10-bit and 12-bit HDR bypass
• Supports CEC bypass
• Simultaneous transmission of video, audio and data over a single
Cat.5e/6/7 cable up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p and 35m (115ft) at 4K
• Supported HDBaseT feature set: HD Video & Audio, 48V PoH, and
Control (Bi-directional IR/RS-232 pass-through)
• Integrated AVLC (Adaptive Visually Lossless Compression) activates
when the bandwidth requirements of the source are beyond
10.2Gbps (340MHz) allowing for support of sources up to 18Gbps
(600MHz) with no loss of visual quality
• The AVLC function allows manual selection between High Quality
(Full bandwidth) mode and Standard mode (Lower bandwidth,
useful for longer cable runs with 4K sources)
• Supports standard IEEE 802.3 AT 48V PoH from Transmitter (PSE) to
Receiver (PD) (compatible Receivers only)
Note: The 48V PoH function is designed for powering compatible
Receiver units only. Non-PoH Receivers will need their own power
supply. Receivers from other brands may not be compatible.

1STD/HQ: This switch allows the user to select which compression
mode to use when AVLC is active.
HQ (High Quality) mode uses the least amount of compression and
provides the highest possible visual quality (perceptually identical
to the original). In this mode, AVLC compression activates for any
signal requiring more than 9Gbps.
STD (Standard Quality) mode applies additional signal reduction
methods to lower the bandwidth requirements even further,
improving transmission reliability at the cost of some visual delity.
In this mode, AVLC compression activates for any signal requiring
more than 7.5Gbps.
2ISP: This button is reserved for factory use only.
3STD/UPDATE: This switch is reserved for factory use only. The default
setting is “STD”.
4RS-232 IN: Connect to a PC, laptop or other serial control device
for the extension of RS-232 signals.
5SYNC LED: This LED will illuminate when a live input source is
detected.
HQ/STD LED: This LED will illuminate whenever the AVLC function
is active. A green LED indicates that AVLC is in HQ (High Quality)
mode. A red LED indicates that AVLC is in STD (Standard) mode.
POWER LED: This LED will illuminate to indicate the unit is on and
receiving power.
LINK LED: This LED will illuminate solidly when a live connection with
a compatible Receiver is active. The LED will blink with a regular
pattern if a Receiver is connected but there is not currently a live
signal. The LED will blink with an irregular pattern if a connection
error has occurred.
