1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI over single Cat.5e/6/7 Transmitter is a great solution for
extending HD audio and video as well as Ethernet and control via
a single run of Cat.5e/6/7 cable over distances of up to 70 meters.
Multiple data and control interfaces are provided, including IR and
RS-232 connections. This Transmitter 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.Gbps
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 connected to a compatible AVLC
Receiver.
Beyond video, data, and control this unit also contains useful audio
features. The Optical Audio Return (OAR) feature supports transmitting
optical audio back from a compatible Receiver for local playback.
Rounding out the feature set is robust EDID management as well as
automatic HDBaseT clock stretching and TMDS re-clocking support.
This Transmitter (PSE) can provide 48V PoH (Power over HDBaseT)
to a compatible Receiver (PD), allowing for greater exibility within
different installation scenarios.
2. APPLICATIONS
• 48V PoH from Transmitter (PSE) to Receiver (PD)
• Household entertainment sharing and control
• Lecture room display and control
• Showroom display and control
• Meeting room presentation and control
• Classroom display and control

1DC 48V: Plug the 48V DC power adapter into this port and connect
it to an AC wall outlet for power.
Note: Please be sure to follow the polarity labels on the unit and
the adapter’s wires.
2POWER 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.
3OPT. OUT: Connect to powered speakers or an amplier for digital
audio output using an appropriate optical cable. Audio is sourced
from the Optical Audio Return input on a connected compatible
Receiver.
4IR EXTENDER 1: Connect to an IR Extender to extend the IR control
range of devices connected to the other end of the HDBaseT
connection. Ensure that the remote being used is within direct line-
of-sight of the IR Extender.
5IR BLASTER 2: Connect to the provided IR Blaster to transmit IR
signals from the other end of the HDBaseT connection to devices
within direct line-of-sight of the IR Blaster.
6SERVICE: This USB port is reserved for rmware update and user
EDID upload use.
7RS-232: Connect to a PC, laptop or other serial control device with
a 3-pin adapter cable for the extension of RS-232 signals to the
Receiver in "Bypass" mode, or for control this unit when in "Console"
mode.
Note: Depending on the controlled device connected to the
Receiver side, the Tx and Rx pins might need to be reversed.
8CONSOLE/BYPASS: This switch controls the operational mode of the
RS-232 port. When set to “Bypass”, RS-232 signals will be passed to
the connected Receiver. When set to “Console” the RS-232 port
may be used to send commands directly to the Transmitter.
Note: RS-232 bypass requires both the Transmitter and Receiver to
be set to “Bypass” mode.

2HQ & STD LEDs: These LEDs illuminate to indicate which AVLC mode
will be used when AVLC is required. The lower green LED indicates
that AVLC will use HQ (High Quality) mode. The upper yellow LED
indicates that AVLC will use STD (Standard) mode.
3HQ/STD SWITCH: This switch allows the user to select which
compression mode to use when AVLC is active, High Quality or
Standard.
Note: HQ (High Quality) mode uses the least amount of
compression and provides the highest possible visual quality
(perceptually identical to the original). STD (Standard Quality)
mode applies additional signal reduction methods to lower
the bandwidth requirements of 4K sources further, improving
transmission reliability over longer cable runs at the cost of some
visual delity.
4CAT5e/6/7 OUT: Connect to a compatible HDBaseT Receiver with
a single Cat.5e/6/7 cable for transmission of all data signals. 48V
PoH will also be supplied when connected to a compatible PD
Receiver.
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.

6.7.2 EDID Management Tool
This unit uses an EDID Management application which allows the user
to copy the EDID from an attached display, edit an existing EDID le
stored on the PC or create a basic EDID from scratch. The EDID can
then be uploaded to the unit for use.
Please obtain the EDID Management software from your authorized
dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily nd it.
Before connecting the unit to your PC, please install the appropriate
Virtual COM Port Driver depending on your Windows version. Next,
install the EDID Management software.
After the installation has successfully completed an icon for it will
appear on the windows desktop. Launch the software by double-
clicking on the icon and the EDID Management device detection
window will open up on your screen.
After launching the software, power the unit on and then connect it
to the PC/laptop using a Mini-USB to USB cable. Click on the “Search”
button and any detected units will be displayed in the list.
Clicking on a detected unit will open the EDID Commander window.

12
A. EDID Controller Tab
• Mode Select: Under the EDID Controller tab you will see the currently
selected EDID slot (based on dipswitch position). The software can’t
change this selection, only monitor it.
• Save/Upload/Analysis: EDIDs may be saved, uploaded or analyzed:
-Save: Any EDID from the unit or a connected HDMI display can be
saved to your PC as a *.bin le by selecting the EDID source from
the drop down menu and then clicking the “Save” icon.
- Upload: Previously saved EDID les (*.bin format) can be re-
uploaded into any of the “User” EDID slots by selecting the
User EDID to replace from the dropdown and then clicking the
“Upload” icon. Before accepting the upload, the software will
check and verify that the EDID’s header and checksum values
are acceptable.
- Analysis: To analyze any EDID stored within the unit, select the
EDID to view from the dropdown and click on the “Analysis”
icon. From the Analyzer window it is possible to open the currently
analyzed EDID in the EDID Creator by clicking the “Edit” button.

13
B. EDID Creator Tab
• Select: Click on the EDID Creator tab to begin designing a new EDID
from scratch (select the “New” icon), to modify an existing EDID
stored on the PC as a *.bin le (select the “Load” icon) or to edit
an EDID copied from the unit via the EDID Analyzer’s edit option.
- Selecting “New” will automatically populate the various EDID
elds with basic information that can be easily edited to match
the user’s preferences.
- Clicking on the “Load” icon will open a le load window and
after the *.bin le has been selected and loaded the EDID elds
will be populated with the information from that le. The same will
happen when the EDID is copied from the EDID Analyzer window.

14
• Edit: The following tabs provide access to a wide range of EDID
information which can be edited:
- Descriptor: This tab allows for the editing of various description
and information elds within the EDID le such as Manufacturer
Name, Monitor Name, etc.
- PC Timing & SD/HD/UHD: These tabs allow for the selection of the
resolutions and refresh rates that the EDID will report as supported.
- Audio1 & Audio2: These tabs allow for the selection of which
audio formats, audio frequencies, channels and speaker locations
are supported.
- Color Space: This tab allows for the selection of which color
formats and bit depths are supported, including BT.2020 and HDR
support options.
- Others: This tab contains options for supporting 3D and dening
the CEC Address.
Once the user is nished editing or creating an EDID it can be saved
to a *.bin le locally or uploaded directly to the unit using the “Save”
and “Upload” icons respectively.
C. System Tab
• Conguration & Firmware: Select the System tab to edit the unit’s
description (select the “Rename” icon), to reset the unit to
factory defaults (select the “Reset” icon) and to view the unit’s
current hardware and rmware version information.
