YOUR
EXTENDERS
Use an XTND 2K (30m) to extend
your favourite HDMI media device
(DVD/Blu-Ray player, Xbox, Apple
TV etc) to a HDTV located up to 30m
away.
XTND 2K (30m) requires Cat cabling
to be run from the transmitter to
the display receiver, which you can
run yourself if capable or choose to
have professionally installed. XTND
2K (30m) has a built-in HDMI splitter
that lets you share one media device
between a ‘local’ or nearby display as
well as a ‘remote’ display up to 30m
away. With IR passback, you can also
control your media device.

IR CONTROL
This will enable backwards IR

STANDARD WIRING DIAGRAM
This is a typical wiring diagram that shows how we would expect an XTND 2K (30m) Extender set up to look
once installed. This diagram features a single HDMI source device (a BluRay player) being sent to 1 room, with a
display located up to 30 metres away, and with IR controlling the source device via backwards IR.

sent by a display to describe its capabilities to a
HDMI source. For example, it’s what enables a
modern computer to know what kinds of monitors
are connected to it.
The XTND 2K (30m) can copy EDID data from both
the local display or the remote display. If the EDID
switch is in the ‘right’ position it will copy EDID
data from the local display. In the ‘left’ position it
will copy EDID data from the remote display.
