Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI Mono Extender Kit Long-Reach (500450-LR) allows HDMI equipment to
be connected up to 500 ft (150 m) @ 1080p 8-Bit via one (1) Cat 5e/6 unshielded
twisted pair cables in a point-to-point configuration. The kit comes with one (1)
Transmitter and one (1) Receiver as well as an IR Emitter (500998) and IR Sensor
(500999) for remote control applications.
Applications
Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector
systems, digital signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical
information systems.
Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter and Receiver as indicated on the product
labels.

2. Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver is within
MuxLab specifications (see Specifications table).
3. To install the Transmitter:
3a. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant
cable.
3b. Connect one (1) length of Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cable to
RJ45 LINK connector on the Transmitter.
4. To install the Receiver:
4a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant
cable.
4b. Connect the one (1) Cat 5e/6 cable to RJ45 LINK connector on the Receiver.
5. Connect the 5VDC power supply to the Receiver first, and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. Connect the 5VDC power supply to the
Transmitter first, and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power
is present, the green power LED of the Transmitter and the Receiver will be ON.
Note: Power the HDMI Extender Balun only after all connections are made.
6. Power the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
7. If infrared remote control is needed, connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo
Jack of the receiver and the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the
3.5 mm plug. The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR
Emitter a mono plug (2 Contacts).
8. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a
clear IR signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control to the top of the IR
Sensor enclosure.
9. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source’s IR Sensor (i.e. DVD
player). For a clear IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source’s
IR Sensor. The IR Emitter’s signal is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.
10. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
