Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI over IP H.264 Extender Kit with PoE (500757) allows HDMI equipment to be
connected up to 330ft. (100m) @ 1080p via one (1) Cat5e/6 unshielded twisted pair cable in a
point-to-point configuration. Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint is possible by
connecting several Transmitters and Receivers to the same local Ethernet network. The Transmitter
(500757-TX) and Receiver (500757-RX) may be sold separately, and support PoE (PD) if used
with a PoE Ethernet Switch. The kit comes with one (1) Transmitter and one (1) Receiver as well
as an IR Emitter and IR Sensor for remote control applications.
For the point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations the Ethernet Switch must
have Gigabit ports, DHCP Server capability and additionally support the IGMP communication
protocol for the multipoint-to-multipoint case. MuxLab recommends using the Cisco SG300 Series
Managed Switches.
The MuxLab ProDigital Network Controller (500811) is available to simplify the configuration and
utilization of the 500757 and other MuxLab IP based products via an Ethernet web interface.
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, see the
above front and rear product views for further details.
2. Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver is within MuxLab
specifications (see Specifications table for further details).
3. To install the Transmitter:
3a. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant cable.
3b. If the application is point-to-point, then connect one (1) length of Cat5e/6 (or higher)
grade UTP cable to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Transmitter. If transmitting over
the network, use an Ethernet Switch between the TX & RX unit
4. To install the Receiver:
4a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant cable.
4b. If the application is point-to-point, then connect one (1) Cat5e/6 cable coming from the
Transmitter, to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Receiver. If transmitting over the
network, use an Ethernet Switch between the TX & RX unit
5. If the configuration is a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint:
5a. You will need to use an Ethernet Switch with Gigabit porta and DHCP Server support.
In addition IGMP Protocol support is required for the multipoint-to-multipoint case.
Verify that the Ethernet Switch is configured correctly, that the DHCP Server is
enabled, and that the IGMP Protocol is enabled for multipoint-to-multipoint
applications. See the operating manual for more information about configuring the
Ethernet Switch.
5b. Connect all Transmitters and Receivers to the Ethernet Switch.
5c. Use the DIP Switches to select a unique Device ID for each Transmitter present on the
network and configure each Receiver Device ID to the corresponding selected
Transmitter. Note: This step is not necessary if the MuxLab ProDigital Network
Controller (500811) is used.
6. Powering the Transmitter or Receiver via an external power supply is only necessary where
PoE (PSE) is unavailable. If PoE is unavailable, connect the 5 VDC power supply to each
Receiver and to an AC power outlet. Next connect each Transmitter in the same manner. If
power is present, the green power LED on each Transmitter and Receiver will illuminate.
Note: Power ‘ON’ the HDMI over IP H264 Extender only after all connections have
been made.
7. Power ‘ON’ the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
8. This product supports IR pass-thru control. If infrared remote control is needed to control the
Source equipment from the Display, connect the IR Sensor (PN: 500994) to the 3.5mm
Stereo Jack of the receiver and the IR Emitter (PN: 500998) 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).
9. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed at the hand-held remote control. For a clear IR
signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control at the top of the IR Sensor enclosure.
10. 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.
11. The following diagram illustrates a typical point-to-point LAN configuration.
