INTRODUCTION
The HDMI-C5IRB HDMI Audio & Video Dual CAT5/RJ45 Extender Kit With Bi-Directional IR Pass-
Through And Phantom Power boosts your audio/video transmission distance up to 200 (60m) in HDTV 1080i
format, 130 (40m) in HDTV 1080p format, and 65 (20m) in HDTV 1080p with 36 bit color depth. With two cost
eecve solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable, users can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc
player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI
or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. The HDMI-C5IRB also features with embedded IR input and output on
both Transming and Receiving units so users can control the source device or HDMI display at romote site via IR
remote in di-direconal IR pass-through.
The HDMI-C5IRB includes two units: Transming unit and Receiving unit. The Transming unit sends the HDMI or
DVI signals received from the source device and receives IR signals from the Receiving unit or sends the received
IR signal from the Transmitting unit via two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 cables. The Receiving unit is responsible for
equalizing the audio/video data received from the Transming unit and sends the IR signals received from the
IR Receiving to the Transming unit or receives IR signals from the Transming unit . The transmission distance
between the audio/video source and the display can be up to 60m / 200 at HD resoluon (720p/1080i), or 40m
/ 130 at Full HD resoluon (1080p). With 8-level digital signal equalizaon control on the Receiving unit, users
can adjust the signal level equalization scale to the received audio/video signals, and therefore optimize the
transmission distance between source and display.
Features
● HDMI 1.3c compliant, all HDMI 3D formats supported
● Extends the transmission distance up to 60m (200) from the sources under 1080i or 720p
● Extends the transmission distance up to 40m (130) from the sources under 1080p
● Provides independent DDC channel, fully HDCP compliant
● Minimizes the cable skew by adjustable 8-level equalizaon rotary control switch
● Support bi-direconal full frequency of IR signal, 20kHz ~ 60kHz
● Pure unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over CAT5/6 cable transmission
● Wall mounng housing design for easy and robust installaon
● Only needs power supply at either TX or RX unit
● Perfectly integrated with other HDMI over CAT.X series products
The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source
device and display.
For over CAT.X transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any keystone jack along
the transmission path will kill the transmission performance signicantly!

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Connect a HDMI or DVI source (e.g., a Blu-ray Disc player) to the Transming Module.
2. Connect a HDMI or DVI display (e.g., a HDTV) to the Receiving Module.
3. Connect two solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable between the Transming and Receiving Modules.
4. Make sure these two solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable are ghtly connected and not loose.
5. If you want to control the source devices at display side, plug in the IR blaster to the Transming Module and
the IR receiver to the Receiving Unit. If you want to control the display at source side, plug in the IR receiver to
the Transming Module and the IR blaster to the Receiving Module.
6. Plug in the 5V DC power supply unit to the latch-locking power jack on either the Transmitting Unit or the
Receiving Unit.
7. If you see ickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the rotary control switch to improve the cable skew.
MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for longest possible transmission length while MIN stands for
the weakest HDMI signal level for short transmission length. Try adjusng the signal level from MIN to MAX to
nd the opmal seng for the HDMI over CAT5 transmission.

NOTICE
1. When adjusng the signal level on the Receiving unit, please dial the rotary control switch from MIN to MAX
and stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal level
seng may cause overpowering issue that would shorten the product life signicantly!
2. Wrongly insert IR blaster and IR receiver to wrong 3.5mm infrared sockets may result in the failure of the IR
extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respecve IR sockets.
3. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID informaon, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide
DVI or HDMI display EDID informaon.
4. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
5. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI sources, and
the type of HDMI display. The tesng result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000] bulk
cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fixed length patch
cords). Shielded STP cables are beer suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer
transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applicaons, solid UTP/STP cables are the
only viable choice.
6. EIA/TIA-568-B terminaon (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for beer performance.
7. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can use
shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
8. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables has the major eect on how long the transmission limit can achieve
and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one's choice of Cat-
5/5e/6 cables. For desired resoluons greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is recommended.
9. If your HDMI display has mulple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input [HDMI input #1] generally
can produce beer transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
