Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI Mono Extender Kit (500451) allows HDMI equipment to be connected up to
230 ft (70 m) @ 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 (500998) and IR Sensor (500999) for remote control
applications. The 500451-RX is the receiver portion of the kit and is used in
conjunction with MuxLab’s Multimedia Matrix Switch. For installation instructions,
please refer to the Multimedia 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) lengths of Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cables to
RJ45 LINK connectors 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 Multimedia Matrix Switch, please consult the
Matrix Switch Installation Guide.
4b. Connect the one (1) Cat 5e/6 cables to RJ45 LINK connectors on the Receiver.
5. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Receiver first, and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. Connect the 5 VDC 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 Mono Extender Balun only after all connections are made.
6. Power the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
7. This product support 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 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. If infrared remote control is needed to control the Display equipment from the
Source, 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 the final configuration.
