/ Introduction
The Cat5 HDMI Expander system consists of Transmitter, Transceiver and
Receiver. The system can extend HDMI signals over Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable.
By cascading Transceivers, it is possible to extend the HDMI signals with
almost unlimited capacity. The Cat5 HDMI Expander system is a great
solution for digital signage, public information display, and large scale
demonstration, where crystal-clear, high-resolution digital video needs to be
shown.
By taking the advantage of cost efficient Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, the Cat5
HDMI Expander can simplify installation. With its unlimited cascading
capacity, you can extend digital video displays almost anywhere. The
Transmitter and Transceiver units are tted with magnetic pads, enabling
them to be quickly attached to metal surfaces. A screw xing plate is also
included for permanent installations.

OUT” port by Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, please refer to “Selection and
Preparation of Cat5/5e/6 cable.” The signal can be received by
following three ways (A), (B) and (C):
A. HDMI-HR: The HDMI distance can be extended is: < 30m. for
480p/720p/1080i, or < 15m. for 1080p. (Distance is based on FTP
cable skew < 15ns/100m).
B. “LINK IN” of HDMI-E102TR: Typical cascaded distance is: < 80m. for
480p, < 70m. for 720p/1080i, or < 30m. for 1080p. (Distance is based
on FTP cable skew < 15ns/100m). The installation of HDMI-E102TR
is described in next section.
C. “HDMI IN” of HDMI-E104C/HDMI-E108C: To connect to the HDMI
connector, a HDMI-HR Receiver is required. Typical cascaded
distance is: < 80m. for 480p, < 70m. for 720p/1080i, or < 30m. for
1080p. (Distance is based on FTP cable skew < 15ns/100m).
/ Installation and Operation
1. Install HDMI-E102T Transmitter:
(1) First Time Set-up: Please turn off the HDMI output device and
monitors.
(2) Device Connection: Connect local HDMI monitor (M1) to the “HDMI/
M1 OUT” of the transmitter and take the HDMI cable, plug one end
to “HDMI IN” port of transmitter and the other end of the cable to the
HDMI output port of HDMI output device.
(3) Connect the power adaptor to the “DC5V” and plug into the power
outlet.
(4) System Turned On: Turn on your HDMI output device and monitor to
conrm the function of display. The “M1 LINK” LED of the transmitter
should turn on orange to reflect the connection of a local HDMI
monitor.
(5) Other Monitors: Please make sure the other HDMI monitors used in
Transceiver can also display the video resolution broadcasted.
(6) EQ Adjustment: In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control
to Auto mode by rotate the EQ to the left side and the “EQ” and ”
Auto” LEDs will turn on blue. If you see some dynamic dots or unclear
image on the HDMI monitor, it reflects the HDMI signal received by
Transmitter need to be adjusted. Then you can adjust the EQ control
for better image display, it will turn the EQ into manual mode, the “EQ”
and ”Auto” LED will turn off to indicate the manual EQ mode.

2. Installation of HDMI-E102TR Transceiver:
(1) Monitor Connection: Connect HDMI monitor’s HDMI cable to
Transceiver and turn on the monitor.
(2) Device Connection: Plug power adaptor to HDMI-E102TR, the “PWR”
LED and “M1 LINK” will turn ON, the other “LINK” LED should turn off,
since there is no input of video signal from “LINK IN” port.
(3) HDMI Cascading: The RJ-45 “LINK IN” port is designed to receive
the HDMI signal from Transmitter over Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, follow
previous section to install Transmitter and extend the HDMI signal
here.
(4) EQ Adjustment : In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control
to Auto mode by rotate the EQ to the left side and the “EQ” and ”
Auto” LEDs will turn on blue. After connecting the expander system, if
you see some dynamic dots or unclear image on the HDMI monitor, it
reects the HDMI signal received by Transmitter need to be adjusted.
Then you can adjust the EQ control for better image display, it will turn
the EQ into manual mode, the “EQ” and ”Auto” LED will turn off to
indicate the manual EQ mode.
(5) LINK OUT : The function of “LINK OUT” port on Transceiver will act
the same as Transmitter’s. It can extend/cascade HDMI signal to (A)
HDMI-HR Receiver, (B) another one-port HDMI Transceiver or (C)
4/8-port HDMI Transceiver as following illustration.

3. Installation of HDMI-E104C / HDMI-E108C Multi-port Transceiver:
(1) These two models have the same function and are only different in the
amount of RJ-45 HDMI output.
(2) Monitor Connection: Connect HDMI monitor’s HDMI cable to Multi-port
Transceiver’s “HDMI/LOCAL OUT” port and turn on the monitor.
(3) Device Connection: Plug power adaptor to Multi-port Transceiver,
the front panel’s “POWER” LED and “LOCAL LINK” will turn ON, the
“ACTIVE” LED will turn ON till Transceiver has received active HDMI
signal.
(4) HDMI Sources: The “HDMI IN” can receive HDMI signal from (A)
standard HDMI output device or (B) HDMI-E102T / HDMI-E102TR /
HDMI-E104C / HDMI-108C by using a HDMI-RJ45 Receiver.
(5) EQ Adjustment: In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control
to Auto mode by rotate the EQ to the left side and the “EQ” and ”
Auto” LEDs will turn on blue. After connecting the expander system, if
you see some dynamic dots or unclear image on the HDMI monitor, it
reects the HDMI signal received by Transmitter need to be adjusted.
Then you can adjust the EQ control for better image display, it will
turn the EQ into manual mode, the “EQ” and ”Auto” LED will turn off
to indicate the manual EQ mode.

(7) Connecting Monitors: 4/8 HDMI monitors can be connected to the
“RJ-45 HDMI OUT” ports by adapting a HDMI-HR Receiver.
(8) Additional System Expansion: The “RJ-45 HDMI OUT” port can also
be used as link out port for more system expansions.
4. Selection and Preparation of Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable:
(1) Selection: Most makes and versions of current Cat5/5e/6 cables will
work with the DVI-E102T Transmitter and DVI-E102TR Transceivers.
However since the quality and characteristics of Cat5/5e/6 cable
varies it has been found that some perform better than others, even if
they cost lower. The major factor inuencing the transmitting distance
is the skew property of the cables. Skew represents the difference in
propagation delay between the fastest and slowest set of wire pairs.
A lower skew will mean a longer video transmitting distance.
(2) Skew Property: A Cat5/5e/6 cable with a skew lower than 15ns/100m
should enable a cascading length of <80m. at 480p resolution, <70m.
at 720p/1080i resolution and <30m. at 1080p resolution. Some cable
types may not have a known skew so it is best to test for maximum
practical distances before starting the installation.
(3) For some installations where the potential for interference exists the
FTP type of Cat5/5e/6 cable is recommended.
(4) The RJ-45 terminations to the Cat5/5e/6 cable must be made to the
EIA 568B specications.
(5) Connecting the Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable: Plug one end of the cable
to the Transmitter’s “LINK IN/OUT” port and the other end to the
Transceiver’s RJ-45 “LINK IN/OUT” port. The monitor connected to
the Transceiver should now display and the “LINK” or “ACTIVE” LED
should turn green to indicate the HDMI signal activation. Adjust the
“EQ” control for best quality HDMI display.
