Mini-Cat® Brand HDMI™ Extender

1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing a Mini-Cat®brand HDMI™ on Catx (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
extender. These compact extenders are compliant with HDBaseT™ standard and can
extend DVI or HDMI™ signals to 230 or 330 ft depending on the Model number.
This User’s Manual applies to the following extenders:
UH1-BT HDMI™ on Single UTP Extender with HDBaseT-Lite™ to 230 ft
UH-1BTX HDMI™ on Single UTP Extender with HDBaseT™ to 330 ft
The extenders are comprised of a sender (-S) and a receiver (-R) and extend all PC
and HD resolutions without compression easily and reliably. Since the extenders are
compliant with HDBaseT™, they can be connected to any other HDBaseT™ compliant
device including sources or sinks that support the format.
The HDBaseT™ and HDBaseT-Lite™ products differ only in the maximum distance of
the cable; otherwise, they are fully identical in form and function. The UH-1BT and UH-
1BTX Sender and Receivers are also compatible with each other (you can connect BT
and BTX senders and receivers; however the maximum distance achievable is dictated
by the lowest of the two – 70m).
The extenders are HDCP compliant with pass-thru EDID, support embedded audio,
Full HD, deep color (1080p@60Hz @ 48 bits/pixel), and 3D video. They can also be
used to extend 4Kx2K video that is gaining popularity.
As a leader in the field of video over twisted pair extension, Hall Research’s Mini-Cat®
brand has set a new standard in the industry for unsurpassed quality and reliability.

“Twisted Pair Cable Recommendations” in section 2.2
