INTRODUCTION
The SP-5105KC 1x4 HDMI & Full 3D support over Single CAT5 Distribution Amplifier with
Local Output provides the most flexible solution by which the high definition video and high quality audio
can be transmitted to different locations over a long distance. The devices are cascadable, allowing you
to extend HDMI compliant displays almost anywhere. The input HDMI source can be duplicated and
distributed to up to 4 HDMI enable displays through cost effective Cat-5/5e/6 cables with HDMI over
CAT5 receivers (CV-735 and/or CV-715s). For convenience, SP-5105KC is also equipped a local HDMI
output for monitoring. With the built in equalization, the input HDMI cable can be extended up to 20
meters (66 feet) long under Full HD, and make the overall transmission distance superior than regular
HDMI splitters or matrix switches in the market.

●Perfectly integrated with other HDMI over CAT5 series products
PACKAGE CONTENTS
●1x SP-5105KC
●1x DC 5V 4A wall wart
●1x User Manual
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and
longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.
Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

EDID LEARNING
1. Power up the SP-5105KC. Connect to HDMI OUTPUT with the display you want the SP-5105KC to
learn its EDID.
2. To learn the display's EDID for source device connected to HDMI OUTPUT, Set SW1 to left Position.
Power on and wait for about 5 seconds to complete the EDID learning process.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Broadcasts HDMI signals to four remote displays with a local port
1. Turn off all devices, including sources and displays.
2. Connect an HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the HDMI INPUT port.
3. Connect the receivers (CV-735 or CV-715s) via Cat-5/5e/6 cables to each HDMI Signal OUTPUT
port.
4. Connect the local HDMI equipped monitor.
5. Plug in 5V 4A DC power supply.
6. Power on the HDMI displays.
7. Power on the HDMI source device.
The instant switching enables only when the video and audio setting of the source has been
adjusted to "Auto" or "Pass-through"

NOTICE
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve
and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI sources,
and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m
[1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of
fixed length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid
UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long
extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can
use double shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the category cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can
achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one's
choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is
recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input 1]
generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
