INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series ST-C6HD-HDBT-LC HDMI HDBase-T Extender transmits uncompressed digital HDMI signal, IR, and
Ethernet up to 328 feet over a single CAT5e/6 cable using HDBase-T technology. Each video extender consists of a local unit that
connects to an HDMI source and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The IR transport channel can be forward or
backward per your installation.
The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.

LIMITATIONS
•The use of CAT5 or of any stranded cabling will reduce the maximum distance and resolution.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
•Locations should be chosen for the monitor that also has space to connect the Remote unit within the distance provided by
the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required.
•The CATx cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local units will be connected. Be careful to route the
cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal
(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, fluorescent lighting, etc.).
•All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended
lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to
minimize this.
•Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the video source and monitor to be separated. If other equipment is
involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper
disconnection and reconnection procedures before proceeding.
•Be very careful not to obstruct the air vents on each unit in its installed location.

INSTALLATION
Installing The Local Unit
1. Connect an HD-x-MM (sold separately) or DVI-HD-xx-MM cable (page 2) between the HDMI signal source and the "HDMI In"
connector on the Local Unit.
2. Connect PC(s) or Ethernet connection from LAN to “100Base-T” ports as desired.
Note: Ethernet connection can be made either at the Local Unit or at the Remote Unit ports. Each PC connected to the
ST-C6HD-HDBT-LC will connect to the LAN through this Ethernet connection.
Figure 1- Install the Local Unit to the source
Installing The Remote Unit
1. Connect a HD-xx-MM to the female HDMI video connector labeled "HDMI Out" on the Remote Unit.
2. Connect PC(s) or Ethernet connection from LAN to “100Base-T” ports as desired.
Note: Ethernet connection can be made either at the Local Unit or at the Remote Unit ports. Each PC connected to the
ST-C6HD-HDBT-LC will connect to the LAN through this Ethernet connection.

Connect the CATx Cables
Connect the CATx cable between the
“HDBase-T” ports on the Local and Remote
Unit. (See Figure 3) When properly inserted
the cable ends should snap into place.
WARNING: Never connect the
“HDBase-T” port of this XTENDEX to an
Ethernet card, Ethernet router, hub or
switch or other Ethernet RJ45 connector
of an Ethernet device. Damage to
devices connected to the Ethernet may
result.
Figure 3- Connect CATx cable
Plug-in and Boot Up
1. Plug the power cord from the display into the power outlet.
2. Connect an AC adapter power connectors to the “DC 5V” ports on the Remote Unit and Local Units. Plug the AC adapters
into power outlets. The green “Power” LED on each unit should illuminate, indicating that a proper power connection has
been made to them. (See Figure 4)
3. Turn ON the video source and display. The “Link” LED on both the Local and Remote Units should illuminate. The video
source and monitor should each react as if directly connected to each other. If both are HDCP compliant, then the ‘HDCP”
LED on each unit should illuminate.
Note: If the video source is HDCP compliant and the display is not HDCP compliant, no image will be seen on the
display.

INFRARED CONTROL
The XTENDEX includes ports for connecting an infrared emitter and receiver (included) to work in conjunction with the IR remote
control used to operate the signal source. Connect the receiver to the “IR RX” port on one end of the installation (Remote Unit
or Local Unit) and the emitter to the “IR TX” port on the other end. The IR transport channel can be forward or backward.
Position the end of the receiver such that the signal from the remote control can easily reach the IR sensor. Position the end of
the emitter such that the extended signal can be sent to the signal source.
Figure 5- Connect IR Emitter and Receiver
Note: The IR emitter or IR receiver (not both) can be connected at either end.
Note: The IR Emitter and Receiver work within a frequency range of 30-40kHz. Check the
specifications for the device you are extending to make sure the XTENDEX will work with it.
