Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI Extender Kit, HDBT, UHD-4K (500451) allows HDMI equipment to be
connected up to 131ft (40m) @ 4K/30 (4:4:4) or 4K/60 (4:2:0) resolution, or up to 230ft
(70m) @ 1080p Deep Color 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 and IR Sensor for remote control applications. The
500451-TX (Transmitter) and 500451-RX (Receiver) may be purchased separately. The
500451-RX may be used in conjunction with MuxLab’s HDBaseT Matrix Switches. For
installation instructions, please refer to the Matrix Switch Installation Guide.
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) Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cable to the 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.
Note: When used with MuxLab’s HDBaseT Matrix Switches, please consult the
Matrix Switch Installation Guide.

4b. Connect one (1) Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cable to the 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 Transmitter and Receiver only after all connections are
made.
6. Power the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
7. This product supports bidirectional IR control. If infrared remote control is needed
to control the Source equipment from the Display, 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 toward 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 must be secured so that it is
facing the source’s IR Sensor. The IR Emitter includes double sided tape to secure
it in place.
10. If the infrared remote control is needed to control the Display equipment from the
Source location, connect the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of the receiver
and the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
11. The following diagram shows an example configuration.
