OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 1.3 OVER ONE CAT6
• The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 was designed for use with high
quality CAT-6a (augmented) cabling. This unit will either not perform to
specification or refuse to operate completely if cabling other than CAT-6a is
used.
• When field terminating CAT-6a cabling please adhere to the TIA/EIA-568-B
specification. Please see page 9 for more information.
• The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 has a maximum distance
rating based on the bandwidth (i.e. resolution and color) of the video being
transmitted. The following specifications are based on high quality CAT-6a
cabling.
• 175 feet (50 meters) at 1080p/60Hz with HDMI 1.3 up to 12-bit
color depth (Deep Color supported) with all HDMI 1.3 audio formats
supported.
• 200 feet (60 meters) at 1080p/60Hz with HDMI 1.2 up to 8-bit color
depth with all HDMI 1.2 audio formats supported.
• The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 is HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.2
compliant.
• This product features HDCP pass-through.
• By default, Deep Color support is disabled. To enable Deep Color support
please see the DIP switch configuration guide on page 9.

How to Connect the Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6
1. Connect a HDMI cable (one is supplied) between the HDMI output on a
HDMI source device and the HDMI input on the Extender for HDMI 1.3 over
one CAT6 Sender unit.
2. Connect a single CAT-6a cable between the sending and receiving units.
NOTE: When field terminating CAT-6a cabling please adhere to the TIA/EIA-
568-B specification. Please see page 11 for more information.
3. Connect a HDMI cable (user supplied) between the HDMI input on a HDMI
capable output device (i.e. HDMI display) and the HDMI output on the
Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 Receiver unit.
4. Connect the included 5V DC power supplies (two are included) between the
sending and receiving units and open wall power sockets.
5. Initialize the HDMI output device (i.e. HDMI display) first and the HDMI
source device last.
How to Equalize the Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6
The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 receiving unit has a equalization
Trim to compensate for the extension distance and the quality/skew variances that
are found in different CAT-6a cabling brands. If there is no output video or if output
video has video artifacting and/or video noise, please use the steps below to adjust
the equalization trimpot.
1. Insert a small flat head tool into the trimpot on the front panel of the
receiver unit.
2. The trimpot has 8 set positions. Turn the trimpot in a clockwise fashion until
it clicks into the next position. Continue adjusting the trimpot by trying all 8
positions until the issue is resolved.
3. Carefully remove the adjustment tool.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION – EDID
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require
information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions
and features are available. The source can then cater its output to send only
resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/display.
This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and a
source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected device/
display. Likewise, the source can only output one resolution for use by a
connected device/display.
The Extender for HDMI1.3 over one CAT6 uses DIP #1 to control EDID modes.
There are 2 EDID modes; LOCAL and PASSTHROUGH. When DIP #1 is in
the OFF position, the LOCAL mode is enabled. This will create a new EDID
by copying all video and audio features of the connected device. In this mode,
enabling Deep Color (Dip #2 =ON) will not affect the video features of the EDID.
By default, the unit is shipped in PASSTHROUGH mode with DIP #1 in the ON
position. The PASSTHROUGH mode will allow all video and audio features of the
connected device to pass through to the source while also allowing the user to
control Deep Color support by the procedure on the previous page.
When switching DIP #1 between the OFF and ON position, please follow the
procedure outlined below:
1. Disconnect power from the receiver and locate the DIP switch bank on the
bottom of the unit. NOTE: You may need to remove the piece of silver
colored metallic tape to expose the DIP switch bank.
2. Refer to the DIP switch diagram (page 9, middle) and while referring to it,
locate DIP #1 on the DIP switch bank. Move DIP #1 to the “ON” or “OFF”
position. The “OFF” position will use the LOCAL EDID mode. The “ON”
position sets the unit in PASSTHROUGH mode, allowing the source to use
the original EDID features of the display.
3. Reconnect power to the receiver unit.
