1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI over HDBaseT Transmitter 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
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. In
addition, 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 able to
be extended, including IR, RS-232, and LAN connections.
This unit supports bi-directional 24V PoC (Power over Cable) allowing
the system to be completely powered by, or provide power to, a
compatible connected Receiver, 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
• 1×HDMI to HDBaseT Transmitter with Bi-directional 24V PoC
• 1×24V/1.25A DC Power Adapter
• 1×2-pin Terminal Block
• 1×3.5mm to IR Blaster Cable
• 1×Operation Manual

4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• HDMI source equipment such as a media player, video game
console or set-top box.
• An HDBaseT Receiver equipped with AVLC and 24V PoC support is
strongly recommended.
• 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 1.x and HDCP 2.2 compliant
• Supports up to 4K UHD (18Gbps, 4K@50/60Hz 4:4:4, 8-bit) video input
and output
• Supports Deep Color input and output up to 12-bit
• Supports 10-bit and 12-bit HDR (High Dynamic Range) input/output
• Supports CEC bypass
• HDBaseT feature support: HD Video and Audio, 24V PoC and
Control (bi-directional IR/RS-232 pass-through)
• HDBaseT output transmits video, audio and data over a single
Cat.5e/6/7 cable and can reach distances up to 70m/230ft at
1080p and 40m/131ft at 4K when using Cat.6a/7
• 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
• Supports pass-through of many audio formats including LPCM
2.0/5.1/7.1, Bitstream, and HD Bitstream
• Bi-directional 24V PoC allows the unit to be powered by, or provide
power to, a compatible connected Receiver
Note: The 24V PoC function is designed to power, or receive power
from, compatible Receiver units only. Non-PoC Receivers will need
their own power supply. Other brands of Receiver may not be
compatible.

terminal block and connect it to an AC wall outlet for power.
(Optional)
Note: This connection is not required if the unit is receiving power
via 24V PoC from the Receiver.
2IR BLASTER Port: 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.
3IR EXTENDER Port: Connect to an IR Extender to receive IR control
signals and extend them to 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.
4CAT5e/6/7 OUT Port: Connect to a compatible HDBaseT Receiver
with a single Cat.5e/6/7 cable for transmission of all data signals.
24V PoC can also be supplied to, or received from, a connected
compatible Receiver.
Note: The 24V PoC function is designed to power, or receive
power from, compatible Receiver units only. Non-PoC Receivers
will need their own power supply. Other brands of Receiver may
not be compatible.
5HDMI IN Port: Connect to HDMI source equipment such as a media
player, game console, or set-top box. DVI sources are supported
with the use of an HDMI to DVI adapter.
