1.0 Introduction
The UH18 is an HDMI and USB 2.0 over single CAT5e/6 solution, which consists
of a Sender (UH18-S) and Receiver (UH18-R).
The solution can extend 4K @ 60 Hz (UHD) Video, USB 2.0, Bidirectional-IR, RS-
232 and Power on a single CAT5e/6 up to 100 meters.
The system only needs power on one side, either from the sender to the
receiver or alternatively the receiver to the Sender.
The UH18's sleek design makes the installation easy behind monitors and tight
spaces.

Sender to your PC
 Connect Local USB devices such as KeyBoard and Mouse to USB HUB on
Sender as required.
 Connect HDMI Output of the Receiver to Display
 Use CAT5e/6 Cables to Connect HDBT Out on Sender and HDBT In on
the Receiver (UH18-R)
 Use supplied 24 VDC External Power Supply to power the device
 Connect USB 2.0 devices that you want to extend to the USB Hub on the
Receiver
 Connect IR Emitter to IR Out port and IR Detector to IR In port on both
Sender and Receiver to extend Bidirectional IR signal
 Connect Serial Devices/Controllers to the RS-232 port as required
NOTE Power supply is only needed at one end it, either at the
Sender or the Receiver.

5.0 Functionalities
5.1 EDID Management
The UH18-S can pass either the Local or Remote EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) to the Video Source.
To pass the EDID of the display connected to the Local HDMI Output of the Sender,
turn the Local EDID DIP Switch on the front panel ON.
To pass the EDID of the display connected to the HDMI Output of the Receiver, turn
the Local EDID switch is OFF.
The sender remembers this EDID until a new display is connected.
Note that removing the remote display will not affect the video on the HDMI Output
on the sender.
5.2 Long Reach Mode
Use the Long Reach Mode to extend video and audio beyond the 100 m range.
With Long reach mode, you can extend 1080p @ 60 hz video up to 150 m.
In Long Reach Mode, a custom EDID informs the source to output 1080p @ 60 hz
video.
NOTE USB Devices such as WEB Cams that require isochronous
transfers may not work in Long Reach Mode
NOTE Changing the state of the front panel Local EDID dipswitch
will interrupt any video currently sent through the system.

5.3 IR Extension
The bi-directional IR extension is pass through. Connect the IR Detector and Emitter
cables to both the Sender and Receiver to extend IR in both directions.
Emitter
Tip = Anode (+) / SIG
Ring = Cathode (-) / GND
Sleeve = GND
Detector
Tip = +5 VDC / VCC
Ring = SIG
Sleeve = GND
Note: This image is only representative, the actual cable may look different
5.4 RS-232 Extension
The RS-232 Extension in UH18 is Pass-through. The
baud rate settings of the serial device connected at the
Sender must match with the serial device connected at
the Receiver End for successful full-duplex
communication.
