FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio
communication. It has been designed to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are intended to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which
case the user at their own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct
the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

UH-1D

1.0 Introduction
The UH-1D is a member of the video over twisted pair extension line from Hall
Research. This economical and easy to install extension kit uses only a single UTP
(Cat6) cable to extend Full HD 1080p HDMI signals to over 130 ft (40m),or
720p/1080i to 170 ft (52m). The product is comprised of a sturdy and compact
Sender and a corresponding Receiver.
The UH-1D offers several unique features such as a local HDMI output (loop) on the
Sender for connection to a local monitor, and EDID management capability with
ability to learn and emulate EDID from any display.
In addition to the HDMI video output, the Receiver provides both digital audio
(SPDIF) as well as analog (stereo L/R) outputs for connection to audio equipment.
The UH-1D allows connection of an IR detector and an IR emitter cable to each end.
This provides the ability to extend IR signals in either direction. For example, when
an IR detector is connected to the remote Receiver and IR emitter is connected to the
sender, the user, from the remote TV end, can control the source using an IR remote.
IR cables are sold separately.
The devices have L-shaped brackets on each end for easy surface mounting and they
feature locking HDMI connectors to secure compatible locking cables such as Hall
Research C-HDMI-L series cables.
2.0 Features
•Uses only one Cat5e/6 cable to extend HDMI without compression
•Can extend Full HD (1080p) to 130 ft (40m)
•Provides local HDMI loop-output on the transmitter for connection to local
monitor or to another UH-1D sender
•EDID learn button (to store and emulate EDID from any display)
•Supports HDCP
•Receiver provides both 3.5mm analog and RCA digital audio outputs
•Can extend IR in both directions (IR cables are sold separately)

3.0 Installation
The following diagram illustrates a typical setup. Note that the IR cables are optional
and should be ordered separately.
Installation diagram showing all possible connections
3.1 Sender Connections
The input side of the sender unit is shown below. Connect the video source to the
connector labeled HDMI IN. Optionally connect a local TV or another Sender unit to
the connector labeled HDMI OUT.
Video input and output on the Sender
Connect a Category 5e/6 cable to the opposite end's RJ45 connector and plug in the
included power supply.
3.2 Receiver Connections
The output side of the receiver unit is shown below. Connect the video source to the
connector labeled HDMI OUT. Optionally connect any audio device to the analog or
digital audio outputs.
Use only regulated 5v DC supply (center
positive) as supplied with the unit.

The default EDID in the Sender device reports the following supported audio
formats to the source:
PCM 2 channel at 32KHz, 44.1KHz, and 48 KHz @ 16, 20, or 24 bits
If the source pays attention to the EDID and sends 2-channel audio the analog audio
output will have 2 channel stereo outputs. However, if the source decides to send
multi-channel compressed bitstream audio such as Dolby or DTS, then the Analog
output is not present. In that case, use the RCA digital SPDIF output, which is active
regardless of the audio format.
Video and Audio output on the Receiver
Connect a Category 5e/6 cable to the opposite end's RJ45 connector and plug in the
included power supply.
3.3 IR Remote Extension
The UH-1D allows connection of an IR detector and an IR emitter cable to each end.
This provides the ability to extend IR signals in either direction. For example, when
an IR detector is connected to the remote Receiver and IR emitter is connected to the
sender, the user from the remote TV end can control the source using an IR remote.
IR cables are sold separately.
IR connectors on the Sender and Receiver
IR Detector Cable is Hall Research P/N CIR-DET-P2
This detector cable has a Red LED that glows when connected properly.
Tip = Data | Ring = +5V | Sleeve = Gnd
Do not substitute any other detector cable as this may not work, your substitute IR
detector cable may also get damaged.

IR Emitter Cable is Hall Research P/N CIR-EMT (recommended) you can also use
CIR-EMT2. Please check Hall Research website for further information.
4.0 Operation
The product is Plug-n-Play meaning that when connected as described in the
previous section, everything typically works with no issues.
If you have any issues such as no image or an image that is not centered or partially
cut off etc, on the connected TVs, it maybe that the generic default EDID is not
suitable for your source or TV. In that case, if the TV works when directly connected
to the Video Source, we recommend, "learning" the EDID from your display (to
substitute it for the default built in EDID).
4.1 Learning and Emulating EDID
By default, the LEARN EDID light is off. This means that the unit is using a generic
default internal EDID for the source that includes various PC and TV resolutions that
the UH-1D can support.
If your specific TV does not support some of the resolutions that the default EDID
reports to the source, you can "learn" the EDID from the TV used by following the
steps below:
1. Plug the TV to the Sender's HDMI OUTPUT port (the HDMI input can be
left disconnected, it does not matter)
2. Press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. The
LEARN light will blink a few times, indicating that the
device has learned your TV's EDID, and will stay on,
indicating that it is emulating the new EDID for the
source
To go back to the default EDID, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. Just
tapping the MODE button will not change the EDID mode. This design feature
ensures that if a user inadvertently pushes the button the mode will not change.
Notice If you try to learn EDID and a TV is not connected to the HDMI OUTPUT,
the unit will not learn any EDID and will continue using the default EDID.
The Sender will remember its EDID mode when power is disconnected.
If you Exit the Learn & Emulate mode, the sender will forget the learned
EDID. To go back, you have to Re-learn the EDID
